Hi all,
I will probably say something stupid but I wonder what is the opinion of the TD band about all this sad story.
If they appreciated the effort that was done by Mr Berling to make all their discography widely known -
I will never thanks him enough for making me learn all the things I know about TD - we (the TD fans I mean) could officially ask them to put all the energy they got (and at least some "compensation" for the VITN authors) to save all the great work that was done and continue to make it freely available to all the TD fan community via their official
http://www.tangerinedream-music.com web site...
And this, not only because the official TD discography web page is rather "poorly informative"
regarding of all the high quality level of information provided by the VITN web site but perhaps because they do like their fans as much we love the TD band and wants to give us all the best of themeselve possible and not reducing TD fans only as "money providers". (une tirelire)
And above all , this site was a wonderfull "free advertisement" for the TD band. It helped me to buy a lot of albums that I even did not knew the existence before... and not only bootlegs !
You can agreed on that or not but bootlegs are a part of the "TD culture"... thats also a reason why I love them and I collect addictively all I can found about the TD band and its members.
I am a little bit "utopist" but I dream of an
officially maintained TD "web sanctuary" - obviously without moderators
- where all TD fans could contribute freely... but its only a (Tangerine) dream.
Keep on smiling
its only music... but what a music, its all my life !
Cheers, eric.
