Editing Tangerine Dream (section)

===Going independent===
Several of the band's albums released during the 1990s were nominated for Grammy Awards.<ref>{{allMusic |last=Brenholts |first=Jim |title= Tangerine Dream — The Grammy Nominated Albums |date=2014 |id=the-grammy-nominated-albums-mw0000616820}}</ref> Since then, Tangerine Dream with Jerome Froese took a directional change away from the new-age leanings of those albums and toward an electronica style. After Jerome's departure, founder Edgar Froese steered the band in a direction somewhat reminiscent of material throughout their career.

In later years, Tangerine Dream released albums in series. The ''Dream Mixes'' series began in 1995 with the last being released in 2010. The ''Divine Comedy'' series, based on the writings of Dante Alighieri, spanned 2002–2006. From 2007 to 2010, the ''Five Atomic Seasons'' were released. Most recently, the ''Eastgate Sonic Poems'' series, based on the works of famous poetic authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Franz Kafka, began in 2011, with the last appearing in 2013. Also, beginning in 2007, Tangerine Dream released a number of EPs, referred to as "CupDiscs" by the band.

Edgar Froese also released a number of solo recordings, which are similar in style to Tangerine Dream's work. Jerome Froese released a number of singles as TDJ Rome, which are similar to his work within the ''Dream Mixes'' series. In 2005, he released his first solo album ''Neptunes'' under the name Jerome Froese.  In 2006, Jerome left Tangerine Dream to concentrate on his solo career. His second solo album ''Shiver Me Timbers'' was released on 29 October 2007, and his third, ''Far Side of the Face'', was released in 2012. Beginning in 2011, Jerome Froese joined with former Tangerine Dream member Johannes Schmoelling and keyboardist Robert Waters to form the band Loom, which plays original material, as well as Tangerine Dream classics. Thorsten Quaeschning, leader of Picture Palace Music, was brought into Tangerine Dream in 2005 and contributed to most of the band's albums and CupDiscs since then.

The group had recording contracts with Ohr, Virgin, [[Jive Electro]], Private Music, and Miramar, and many of the minor soundtracks were released on Varèse Sarabande. In 1996, the band founded their own record label, '''TDI''', and more recently, '''Eastgate'''. Subsequent albums are today generally not available in normal retail channels but are sold by [[mail-order]] or through online channels. The same applies to their Miramar releases, the rights to which the band bought back. Meanwhile, their Ohr and Jive Electro catalogs (known as the "Pink" and "Blue" Years) are currently owned by [[Esoteric Recordings]]. 

Since 2017, Tangerine Dream has been signed to the independent label [[Kscope]], which has released their studio albums Quantum Gate, Recurring Dreams and Raum.
