Green Desert is the twenty-seventh major release and the fifteenth studio album by electronic artists Tangerine Dream. The music was recorded in Berlin in 1973, during a period when Peter Baumann had temporarily left Germany to tour Nepal and India. Though unreleased at the time, it landed Tangerine Dream a record deal when Virgin heard the tapes. A remixed version of the music was released in 1986. The group had recently acquired new equipment including a Minimoog, a phaser, and an EKO ComputeRhythm which could be pre-programmed and/or changed on-the-fly while it was playing. Chris Franke considered the six internal sounds to be "pretty lousy" but, due to its flexibility as a sequencer, later modified it as a controller to trigger external sounds. This rhythmic effect was featured in several of Tangerine Dream's later albums.
