Hyperborea is the nineteenth album by Tangerine Dream and their last album on the Virgin Records label. Following their previous albums "White Eagle" and "Logos" this album continues the group's new focus on working with new technologies such as digital synthesizers, drum machines, and sampling.
The album title refers to Hyperborea, a mythical, idyllic land in the Ancient Greek tradition, supposedly located far to the north of Thrace and where it was claimed the sun shone twenty-four hours a day.
The album that was somewhat of a disappointment upon release for its departure from their classic sound. Spent two weeks on the UK album chart peaking at No.45. In recent years, the album has received more attention and praise for its innovative sound design and composition.
