Sorry about that Andy.
I was talking (writing) figuratively rather than literally.
CF seemed to do rather well out of the split.
Andy, you've got to stop apologising for my inability to communicate properly.24db wrote:d'oh...sorry ChrisChris Monk wrote:Yep.24db wrote: Hmmm Edgar would have to pay money to keep the name of the band he formed? I can't see it Chris...perhaps you could break it to him

Ah there's always a story about Chris...and sadly I'm not gonna type it here, incase I get sued.

Oh dear! Did he really form the Berlin School of Electronic Music too? I thought he had been a Jazz drummer in Agitation Free (among others)....24db wrote:Ah...isn't that nice, Edgar and Peter joined Chris to form Tangerine Dream..who writes this stuff?

Well from memory I think it might have been his mother who stumped up enough money for Thomas Kessler to set up the studio, it was there that it got the name.billythefish wrote:Oh dear!

I'm sure you're right Andy. I've seen it stated several times that he was "instrumental" in setting up the Berlin School.24db wrote:Well from memory I think it might have been his mother who stumped up enough money for Thomas Kessler to set up the studio, it was there that it go the namebillythefish wrote:Oh dear!

That is bizarre ... in most synthesizers the sequencing (at least these days) is done individually for "each pad" or "instrument" ... and I doubt that someone would feed all three musicians and it would be sequenced yet again ... I think the ability to control that piece of music would get really difficult ... and more than likely frustrating ... and I can say that I have not heard TD ever lose track of themselves at all. ... although I do think that madmen are usually capable of thinking the strangest things ... !!! ... the proverbial magic theater!Peter Beasley wrote:Browsing through some of the old threads, I came across epsilon 75’s interesting post (‘Tangerine Dream Tour Year 1986’ in ‘Performances’) that Chris Franke did not do the sequencing on Logos, Thief and Poland.
If the sequencing on these albums is not Chris's work, then the sequencing on the 1980, 1981 and 1982 tours is also not his, as there is a vast cross over of material. ...
Steve Reich? er I'll get me coatPeter Beasley wrote:Andy, This I know well as I knew Mark Shreeve at the time and he gave me a pre-release tape of Legion.24db wrote:btw as a side note, when Chris Franke played on Mark Shreeve's Legion album...Mark did all the sequencing and Chris played the melody line as well as some TD-like Effects.
Still leaves us with the question who did the sequencing on Logos, Thief and Poland.
