Redshift, England ***Inactive***


With the passing of Mark Shreeve on August 31, 2022, it's highly unlikely that Redshift would continue, though it would be possible in this case (unlike the duo of ARC with Ian Boddy), even as a tribute band.

Overview: Redshift, in my mind anyway, are the premier Berlin School revivalists from the UK. They started as a quartet led by accomplished synthesist Mark Shreeve, and their blueprint is Baumann era Tangerine Dream. Nobody does it better, and it seems Redshift picked up where Tangerine Dream left off after Stratosfear.

  1. I think Radio Massacre International are the UK's premier Berlin School revivalists but I suppose I'm splitting hairs. I'm just chuffed that there's a competition!

  2. Hi Bill,

    Yes, I'm not entirely sure I disagree with you. I think Redshift are more purest, but RMI are more inventive - especially as they're willing to do more space rock inspired compositions. But I love both groups!
