Just out of interest, I put the barcode from my original Virgin issue of Edgar's Epsilon In Malaysian Pale CD into the Musicmagpie.co.uk website.

They'll give me 30p for it :lol: :lol: :lol:

At the same time, I put in the code from the back of Sigue Sigue Sputnik's Flaunt It CD.

They'll give me 54p for that...... :? :roll:

I was listening all this week the Boxset of Edgar.
What a great sound, and what a great music.

I thought: why not a concert in the next years "TD plays Edgar Froese part two" ?

I finaly ordered it because I think the mistakes they did with the "bonus tracks" might never be corrected.... Somebody wrote that the Epsilon was still hissy an dalas, yes, it's true as for the first sid,e which is my favourite piece ever by Edgar, that gets really on my nerves and I do wonder why this piece especially has got some hiss noise !!!
It sounds better on this compilation than on the initial CD, yet.. THey did a really LAME job with the "artwork", yet.. Can't call that "artwork" anyway, it's just a shame. They managed to include Several typo mistakes too... incredible.... While it is so easy now to correct with the software.. in the good old tim es there was hardly ever a mispelling and it was way more complex andso much less dless flexible to create a sleeve yet !!
My LP copy was scratchy right from the start alas, it was only availble second-hand in the mid 80's when I bought it, anyway...
More on the other albums later. But quickly : "Aqua" sounds great, on the other side... "Ages" too. "Pinnacles", I expected more improvement. The first track sounds a bit strange...

Yes. Once again, a missed opportunity. It's a shame that these releases don't get the attention they deserve.

Remains the question why they are re-released altogether.
Well errr, that is a rhetorical question then, I guess ...
