Re: QUANTUM KEY ep
I look forward to the release of Quantum Years and hopefully a live concert.
BUT....
For me, this will always be a NEW band. I will buy the CDs and will listen many times.
Edgar was the embodiment of Tangerine Dream. The captain of the ship. The leader. The inspiration for the music.
The creator of the artwork. The driver of the direction of the music. The man behind the concepts.
Other band members came and went. Someone, somewhere, asked "why did Edgar never leave?"
It was HIS band. He could not leave.
The new band have his inspiration and musical guidelines, but they cannot have his knowledge and exact idea of what he wanted, only a rough outline which they will interpret.
There are those that may say that Tangerine Dream will continue, even without the original creator.
Of course, they are correct. Tangerine Dream CAN continue. BUT, in name only.
However, realistically, these fans are of course deluding only themselves if they believe the 'band' will be Tangerine Dream.
The new band may well go on to create some of the greatest music. I think they will. I think the new album will amaze us.
The three members, Thorsten, Ulrich and Hoshiko are excellent musicians and are very well respected by me.
However, FOR ME, Tangerine Dream are no more. Long live QUANTUM YEARS, the new band..the new direction..the new era.
(I shall now retire to my flame-proof shelter somewhere secret, away from attack , safe in the knowledge that this is only MY opinion and that other opinions are available)
The other opinions remain invalid to me of course, but I look forward to seeing the responses.
Music is subjective. Some people say Zeit/Atem/Alpha Centauri is the greatest trilogy. Some say Rubycon/Ricochet/Phaedra. Some say Tangram/Force Majeure/White Eagle.
There are many, many combinations. They are ALL valid. None are right, none are wrong (not even those that like Rockooon like me) You like what you like.
p.s. This is the longest post I've ever put on here. (The biggest waste of letters, some may say )
The history of Tangerine Dream will be with us always...but now, please welcome QUANTUM YEARS
