Purgatorio is a studio album and the seventy-eighth release overall by German electronic band Tangerine Dream. It was released in October 2004. A pre-release version was only available via internet at the Tangerine Dream's website in March 2004. The album includes a studio version of a live performance at the Royal Festival Hall, in London, on March 6, 2004. The show was the opening night of the Ether Electronic Music Festival followed by the world premiere of a restored version of the Italian silent movie “L'Inferno” from 1911 by Giuseppe de Liguoro's, based on the first part of Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy”[2][3]
