"He [Chris Franke] is credited for the initial discovery of the sequencer technique introduced on Phaedra, that came to define the band's music"
has anyone got a documented source to back it up? btw I'm not saying they're wrong, I just want to know where it comes from.
"The list of “who did what” in his [Edgar's] up-coming book will set things straight. Some “kings” will easily become “beggars” and the other way round."

technically you can't quote from a book that hasn't been written yet mate
It will have no words! ... it will all be notes and we gonna listen to it again!
I have this bizarre idea that with every album and every piece of music ... we see more of the man than anything else and that a biography would be such waste of time ... he can't speak words! ... he speaks notes!
To be honest though ... I don't think a book is needed ... let the music do the talking and let the rest die ... or as another poet once said ... dust ends up on the floor ... the same one I walk on!
So what do you wanna read about? Edgar's private bedroom and jokes? ... please .... .... I stand corrected ... if he puts together a book like PDQ Bach's Biography I can handle it! And all the music and cartoon like staffs and notes is the way I want Edgar to talk about a lot of his music ...
I would think that a book about his experiences with technicians and how some things were created and developed is a lot more interesting than what he thought of Chris Franke's mom, or ... what ... ever ...
Somewhere there was an article about loops and how they started working with it, and that is odd stuff that in the end helped define and create what today we call synthesizer and a lot of the computing stuff, of which they were ahead of a lot of people ... most people ... including geeks.
But sometimes we're only interested in the dish-soap stuff ... and I don't think that the story about how he went to the bathroom at the Greek Theater and there was a peep to Highland Ave is really gonna make a diiference ... but the other would give you and I a neat clue as to how someone that creates music, or writes, or paints, actually thinks ... with their own visuals ... I would be more interested in his abstract theories and thoughts as he paints ... than anything else ... that is where all the fun is!
Guess it will be a novell with more than 1000 pages.
