Notes

The Soft Dream Decade is a compilation featuring 14 tracks from a wide selection of albums (re-)released during the TDI years:

Destination Berlin (1989; track 9)
Transsiberia (1998; tracks 1 and 13)
Great Wall Of China (1999; track 11)
The Seven Letters From Tibet (2000; track 14)
The Melrose Years (2002; tracks 2 to 5, 8 and 12)
Mota Atma (2003; track 7)
Arizona Live (2004; track 10)
Blue Dawn (2006; track 6)

This compilation contains no new material.

Notably, two mistakes made on the set The Melrose Years were ignored when this compilation was prepared: First, the remix of Ivory Town, that was mistakenly added to The Melrose Years instead of the "real" composition Ruling The Waves, was used for this compilation as well, again wrongly titled Ruling The Waves, of course. And fans who consider to download just the single track Cool At Heart to replace the faulty one on their original release of The Melrose Years can save their money: the skipping is present on this new compilation as well.

Initially, this has been a virtual album release, available from the Tangerine Dream Download Shop only. The artwork of this release was later reused for the 2008 re-recording of the album Tangram.

The Eastgate Music Shop about this release"The Soft Dream Decade is indeed the best soundtrack for people who fell in love or for those in lovesickness...:-))) Just enjoy beautiful compositions in a more relaxed atmosphere."

Re-Releases

In March 2009 the album was finally released on a proper CD 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.
