Most of Tangerine Dream's albums are entirely instrumental.  Two earlier albums that prominently featured lyrics were ''[[Cyclone (Tangerine Dream album)|Cyclone]]'' (1978)<ref name=UC>{{cite web|work=Uncut|url=https://www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/album/tangerine-dream-search-hades-virgin-%E2%80%A8recordings-1973-1979|title=Tangerine Dream – In Search Of Hades: The Virgin Recordings 1973–1979|author=Pinnock, Tom|date=June 21, 2019}}</ref> and ''[[Tyger (album)|Tyger]]'' (1987). While there were occasionally a few vocals on the band's other releases, such as the track "Kiew Mission" from 1981's ''[[Exit (Tangerine Dream album)|Exit]]'' and "The Harbor" from 1987's ''[[Shy People]]'', the group only returned to featuring vocals on a larger scale in a musical trilogy based on [[Dante Alighieri|Dante]]'s ''[[Divine Comedy]]''. This was followed by a 2007 album ''[[Madcap's Flaming Duty]]'' and a 2010 cover collection ''[[Under Cover – Chapter One]]''.

After their 1980 [[East Berlin]] gig, when they became one of the first major Western bands to perform in a communist country, Tangerine Dream released a double live album of one of their performances there, called ''[[Poland (album)|Poland]]'', recorded during their tour in the winter at the end of 1983. With ''Poland'', the band moved to the Jive Electro label, marking the beginning of the ''Blue Years''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jive Electro|url=https://www.discogs.com/label/432-Jive-Electro|access-date=2021-02-25|website=Discogs|language=en}}</ref>
