Almost like saying the women don't matter ... and I think that it would take away a special feeling that has been in the music for more than 20 years ... too much male testosterone!T4N63R1N3 DR34M wrote:Well, we assume so from Peter's comments.

Oh wow , hope so .
If Hoshiko, Linda or Isis don't want to be there ... I think the whole idea will suffer very badly, and it's collective psychic feeling will not be worth listening to. I do not see it being valuable if they are not there.
Honestly!
(A month later about Jerome)
Earlier I had stated that Jerome did not come up in a time when things were simpler and he could make his own life and living as easy as he can now with a small computer or laptop.
I'm hoping that Jerome comes off his anger and disappointments, that caused him to not work with the father anymore, albeit I will respect that he might want to do his own thing, and you and I will undoubtedly hear it when it happens.
You look back at the history of music (not historically correct btw, but as an example!), and Mozart's children did not follow him, Stravinsky's children did not follow him, and Beethoven's children did not follow him ... and sometimes you have the same thing in other arts ... Picasso's offsprings did not follow either. Dali's didn't either. You can continue this discussion forever ... so Jerome not wanting to follow those footsteps is quite OK with me, besides the fact that the very first 3 bars that he did on any piece in something that would continue being called "TD" or "Tangerine Dream" would likely get trashed so badly by a few of us, that he would lose his taste, touch and interest, anyway ... and PERSONALLY, I would not want him subjected to that ... it would highly unfair and sad!
He might, as a matter of rights and such, over see some production values, but if his own individual life and work takes off ... how the heck will he find the time?
All in all, it's a sad state of affairs, as you have "Tangerine Dream" that is a world class "composer", whose work is not about to be explored any more for a while, and it will wasted as time goes by, and I hope that this does not happen ... it would also be grossly unfair to say that Jerome is at fault ... nope ... he's just a child of the artist, not anything else.
All in all, many of us here, want to see the candle burn longer ... but the wax is gone, and the oil has already been consumed, and while I hope that the other folks can put something together, because there is nothing else out there like TD was, in the end, it is a form of music that will die off ... for lack of interest except for a handful of vociferous fans like us!
This is the 21st century ... all music is just a song ... and the greatest value in it all is how much it sells ... and the downside of a lot of that is that a lot of music is going to die because no one listens to it, and the "majority" thinks its not good. In that sense, one could say that Jerome is not helping, but again, that is very sad and grossly unfair ... and like I said, Jerome can not see the higher picture of it, but I'm quite comfortable with his choice.
On the other hand, the music falling off the face of the earth will only hurt all the business ventures and work that has taken almost 50 years to bring alive ... only to kill it in one swell foop! What else is new in the 21st century where the media kills everything it can!
