Notes

The double CD release Booster compiles a number of rare (and some not so rare) compositions that had been mostly released on limited edition singles so far. It contains tracks from:

Ça Va - Ça Marche - Ça Ira Encore (1998; track 15)
Space Flight Orange (2005; track 5)
40 Years Roadmap To Music (2006; track 11)
Blue Dawn (2006; track 13)
Metaphor (2006; tracks 3 and 4)
Sleeping Watches Snoring In Silence (2007; tracks 2, 6 and 10)
Bells Of Accra (2007; track 16)
One Night In Space (2007; tracks 1 and 7)

Furthermore, this compilation features two remixed excerpts of compositions from the albums Tangram (1980; track 9) and Logos Live (1982; track 8), respectively, as well as two completely new compositions that were previously unavailable on any other release (tracks 12 and 14).

The Eastgate Music Shop about the CD release"Booster comes as a double CD and contains some real goodies from the alchymical soundboard of TD. There are two brand-new compositions and some tracks which aren't available on various EP's anymore. Of course you will hear music you've probably heard before -- no-one forces you to stress your credit card again! :-). But for some of you it will become a collector's item as a pack of tracks which definitely will become 'classics' out of the first decade of the new musical Century."

Due to the album's great success, Booster was the start of a series of similar compilations of old and new material that consists of:

Booster (2007)
Booster II (2008)
Booster III (2009)
Booster IV (2011)
Booster V (2012)
Booster VI (2013)
Booster VII (2015)

Re-Releases

In February 2008 this release became available as MP3 download at the Tangerine Dream Download Shop.

The US based Purple Pyramid label released the album in summer 2008 with slightly different cover artwork.

In March 2009 the album was re-released with different cover design as part of an extensive digipack series (consisting of a total of more than 60 CD and DVD releases) by the Germany based Membran record label.

In 2016 the album was released on vinyl for the first time.
