Peter Baumann a reappraisal
So....Peter Baumann, Time for a Reappraisal?:
Have a look at the few videos of TD playing in the 70's and you'll see that Peter's contribution is far far more than is first apparent. He's providing melodies, chords, effects and shock horror...rhythmic stuff (with sequencers). In 1979 just after he had left TD Peter was interviewed in one of the UK music weeklies, he was asked 'what was your greatest contribution to TD's sound?'...and the answer....'Rhythmic stuff'. Now this doesn't sit well with some fans ideas about what TD 'are' or were. What I'm saying is that TD didn't infact have hard and fast 'rolls' and that the musicians in TD could swap these duties between them. Or to put it another way, they should be seen as 'complete composers', rounded individuals and not some two dimensional cut-outs possing before flashing lights and patch leads.
If you give Peter's first two solo LPs a quick spin you'll hear complete and full compositions, very complex arrangements, full of melodies, driving rhythms and sequences, full of emotion and experimentation.
