Poland - The Warsaw Concert is the fifth live album and twenty-fourth overall of electronic music released by Tangerine Dream.[3] It spent one week on the UK Albums Chart at number 90.

Track listing

All tracks are written by Edgar Froese, Chris Franke, Johannes Schmoelling

No.TitleLength
1."Poland"22:36
2."Tangent"19:59
3."Barbakane"18:04
4."Horizon"21:10

The four tracks consist of 3-4 distinct sections each. The last two of the four sections of "Tangent" are titled "Polish Dance" (which is notably similar to the composition "Choronzon" from Exit, played backwards) and "Rare Bird" respectively, and the second section of "Barbakane" is titled "Warsaw in the Sun". There are also further, less known official and unofficial names for some other sections of the album, too. It was also available as a limited edition picture disc which feature the cover photos directly on the LPs' vinyl.

Out of twelve CD releases, only three have the complete album, all others are either missing "Tangent" or have a truncated version of "Barbakane."

  • (1984) Jive/Teldec 8.28638
  • (1984) Relativity 88561-8045-2, re-released in 1993
  • (2011) Reactive EREACD 2018

The second is a double-CD release, copyrighted 1984 by Zomba Ent. Inc., Made in the U.S., and apparently difficult to find. On disk one, "Rare Bird", originally an encore, is split off from "Tangent" as a track on its own. The CD artwork, however, lists "Tangent" as a single full-length track.

A video from Polish TV is available on various video sites.
