	LE PARC marked yet another new era for the constantly evolving Tangerine Dream, with shorter songs and the use of sampling technology to fill out the already opulent sound. Fresh off a string of highly acclaimed film soundtracks, the Froese/Franke/Schmoelling lineup came up with nine tightly constructed numbers that reflect a pop consciousness without betraying the band's signature sound.
	Each composition on the record honors a famous city garden or park. The second track, a propulsive paean to New York's Central Park, features insistent percussion that mimics the rhythms of the city's street drummers. "Gaudi Park" mirrors the pretty whimsicality of Barcelona's Guell Garden. "Zen Garden," a tribute to the Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto, is as stark and deep as the title suggests. Tangerine Dream had something of a hit with the title track, the theme song for the short-lived TV drama "Street Hawk." Overall, LE PARC is one of the band's more accessible records.
