Yes Jerome, Dante's dead; but Long Live the King!
I then missed the SBE gig (not enough notice), and could not afford to go the Tempodrom...
I found Madcap's Flaming Duty a difficult album to listen to at first. I always thought that Lake of Ponchartrain to be it's strongest track, possibly a commercial single! Howvever, with the exception of The Divorce, I was struggling to get into the rest of the album, but I peservered with it before the show.
My son had put some of the album onto his fone and we were listening to it outside The Astoria, sharing a few comments with a german who seem unimpressed at the prospect of vocals at a TD concert.
Now before the concert I found Chris's voice to be quite annoying to the point that listening to it made me angry. I can't really explain this further...
Well the concert was fantastic. I was right in front of Chris Hausl by the speakers on the stage. A few of us joked that maybe we could disconnect the speakers, so we didn't here the vocals
From the moment the concert started I was totally mesmorised by the great Master (don't worry, I was mesmorised by Iris too!). Even when Chris started singing it did not spoil it for me. In fact he was outstanding. It was obvious that the drums were mixed down and that there was an element of pre-reocorded stuff. However, being used to seeing bands who uses synthesizers like Duran Duran and Depeche Mode, I knew the score. Even at the last Mike Oldfield concert I went to there was an element of pre-recorderd material...
I don't concern myself that certain elements of the concert may have been "plays fantastically", "<my-med)" or whatever. The fact is a lot of like minded people were at a venue in front of the Master - Edgar Froese!
(No disrespect to the rest of the current Tangerine Dream line-up.)
"Dante's dead, Long Live the King!"
Thank you Tangerine Dream for a memorable night of excellence!
