Its coming...coming back to me....that interview from 77.....I recall Edgar admiring the poonk rockers....he said something along the lines of 'its new music, music has to evolve, young people leading, the energy of youth', or something like that......[also applied to TD in 1967-1974]


BM, assistant archivist of TD(part time, out to lunch)

btw that audio interview was with a DJ called Jim MacDonald

[Michael66]

In 1983 he said in a German interview

Question: "You don't like Kraftwerk?"
Froese: "No, but I can understand that people like them."

So if he did like Kraftwerk in 1977, but he didn't like them anymore in 1983, we now have irrefutable proof even Mr. Froese changes his opinions now and then...

He's alive...!

that was sort of the gist in 77 as well......



if you asked me this morning if I like KW, and then asked me after lunch you would get two different answers....as it all depends

I wonder if the 1977 interview might even be earlier? as it mentions Rubcyon and the introduction quotes from a review:

Metro Radio, Music People with Jim Macdonald: USA 1977?

Introduction “And just before we go back in to the interview I’d like to read for you an album review of this album Rubycon that appeared in Beat Instrumental in May of 1975 and the author who I unfortunately don’t know, starts off by saying that he’d like to know really how to review an album like this and he doesn’t know what kind of criticisms to pass on Tangerine Dream, because you under stand the problem with Rubycon is that is quite unlike anything most people have come across before. Certainly there have been both Jazz and Avant Garde artists this century who have abandoned the restrictions of melodic and rhythmic form, that isn’t what Tangerine Dream have achieved, but it would appear what they have done is capture the various ideas that have been floating around the music world for the last 50 years or so, contribute a great musical skill to them and it should put them over to wide audience, it goes on to say for that reason alone they will be assured a massive success as they break completely new ground in the history popular music and goes on to call the album superb, a major triumph etc etc and he ends up the article by making an interesting comment, he ends it up by saying, ‘Yes Rubycon is the forerunner of tomorrows music and strangely enough we find ourselves at the beginning of another new era, all of a sudden things feel different a bit like 1962 all over again, in fact it’s a nice sensation’ Whether or not this is may be true or not it is an interesting idea to look at, whilst listening to this totally electronic music and I had a caller call up and say he really enjoyed it and he also agreed with Edgar Froese, that bands who jump around and do things on stage are not his style, and I’ve just received that call. I have to read a few public service messages before we go back in to the interview, and Jim Macdonald…”

which forum were you posting on in 1977 BM? the Eye Spy book of EM

[bigmoog]

pah, I sent a letter once to sounds in 77 just after the big al lewis, TD US tour article....along the lines of ' you wait until the late 1990's, I will still be writing claptrap on my favourite group, on internet forums..'


they didnt print it

[bigmoog]

hmm, Ispy book of TD


'spot Chris Franke in woolworths, buying a bontempi organ' 5 points

'download fan recordings of live TD, 1967-2008' 400points (gigabytes)

'see Peter Baumann surfing in malibu and playing in a new york band' no points, its a hoax


send book to big chief Ispy for a prize [usually a bigger book to fill in]

[timer]

Edgar should think of TD's future...He should ask his son to come back. Jerome and Ulrich together, that would be perfect. Fresh blood, fresh mind...Of course, Edgar is genius, but his age....He cannot live and compose 100 years...
Schiller just issued new album/compilation with Kiew Mission on it...He had Kiew mission on analog tape and listened all the time...So maybe...Edgar, Jerome, Ulrich, Schiller...Let me enjoy to imagine...

I notice this Schiller person has a special guest appearance by Klaus Schultz on his CD .

Just as well the old forum was taken down. Heaven knows what b*ll*cks I wrote back then.
