Re: Why did you stop posting in this forum?

Hi, I'm still here ... but the sad thing is that not many others are around. It is the "same" with rock music fans. Their appreciation is limited to a song, or one album, and then they forget the band ... and move on to something else. For me, TD has been a life long piece of music, and th...

Re: Klaus Schulze

Hi, It doesn't matter to me how some think that a word like this or that is an issue about someone else passing away and not staying with us forever. I have loved and lived this music since 1973, and to this day, I have never found anything/anyone that had as much courage to do what he did, as we co...

Re: Book about the film music of TD

Hi, Should be interesting, although it is always an issue with a lot of directors that do not have a musical feeling whatsoever, and it ends up creating something where the music takes you one way but the film is something else. There have been, even now, not many directors that know how to use musi...

Re: Probe 6-8 EP / Raum LP (2021-2022)

Hi, Have not gotten the Probe album and not sure I will get this other album. I did get RAUM earlier and was finally able to sit down, listen to it (title piece 6 times!!!) and enjoyed it, and although I have not in 40 years of film and music reviews EVER done a Tangerine Dream review, I am consider...

Raum - A Review

Hi, Tangerine Dream RAUM 2022 I'm probably not the right person to review this album, but I will try. The hard thing to say, is that in this version of the group it might not know, or understand what Edgar Froese did with his music, and that (possibly) his experiments were to help create ideas that ...

Re: New TD book coming!

Hi,

I guess buying this is not possible ... a search gives us this ....

Digital Gothic: A Critical Discography of Tangerine Dream (Music)

It would be nice, if there was a direct link for this, unless it is in Facebook, which is not one of my favorite places.

Re: Tangerine Dream - From Virgin to Quantum Years 2020

Hi, I have a feeling that this year is over for a lot of concerts anywhere ... the fear is sometimes worse than the reality, but I'm not sure that we all can afford, or take that chance. In some ways, I think that this will help the STREAMING side of things come up ... but many of these bands and fo...

Re: THORSTEN QUAESCHNING - BEHIND CLOSED DOORS concerts

Hi, Marcus Reuter would probably be the best thing to happen to TD, even if it was just as a guest here and there ... I think I will enjoy listening to this, as Marcus has a lot of great material around, and has a way to make other folks look better around him! I'm also wondering if Thorsten is look...

Re: Paul Frick new TD member

Hi, Interesting ... His previous group has a blurb on Wiki that says that the three folks were classically trained, and this might be an interesting addition ... if the recent music takes on a slightly more "classical" approach, than they have been doing, which to me is less "symphoni...

Re: TD at The Barbican, London

Hi, A shame that we will never again see TD on the West Coast ... I can't complain though having seen them 4 times, the last one with Haslinger, I think (Portland 1988 or something like it). Sadly, I don't think, that even in Seattle, they would sell much. Maybe LA of SF, but I doubt ... the music s...

Re: TD Box Set remastered by Steven Wilson

Oh yes. Steven Wilson of Procupine Tree fame who has remastered and remixed many albums from the Prog giants. Anyone know anything more of this ? Which albums and will it be in surround sound also? Blimey, this should be good :shock: 8) Hi, Scary thought, but interesting nonetheless. I'm not a grea...

Hi,

Grrrrrrrr … I do not speak German or understand it.

Is there a translation around? I'm guessing that most of this is in the book?

Re: Force Majeure - A Review of the Book

... You might indeed get the impression EF was a bit of a grumpy old man who grew even grumpier with age -- being at the forefront of his own musical style must have been fairly frustrating an experience more often than once, and dealing with people in the industry even more so. Combine this with a...

Force Majeure - A Review of the Book

Hi, The majority of books dealing with biographies, are something that leaves a lot to be desired. It's always about the fans and their look at some kind of hero, that we're supposed to appreciate and appease in every way possible to maintain their fame. One rarely finds out a whole lot about the pe...
