Only a NEWS item:

Dream for

another news snippet:

Back at Computer Central: German group Tangerine Dream (who play in maximum darkness) gave a quick demonstration of their side-splitting review at last week's Audio Fair. They were presented with a cake decorated by tangerine wedges.

Encore: And the next night T. Dream ended their tour with a FAB, GEAR and very GROOVY, though very DARK concert, while afterwards exploring 'The Popstar's Guide to Destruction'

'maximum darkness'



'The Popstar's Guide to Destruction'
