I do too.

As broadband speeds increase, it may be ok for bands like TD to increase the download rate to a full CD standard (or even better, one day!).

As it is, as a more "casual" fan, but fan nonetheless, I applaud the powers that be for doing this, as, for example, I'll have "Epsilon" for example this way, as I already have the original on LP and CD.

To all at "TD Towers" - many thanks for offering this service and PLEASE don't discontinue the "official" releases on CD just yet...

I don't know about you guys, but I try to backup everything musical I download onto DVD as a straight "file" for safe keeping.... I can easily retrieve it later If I want to make a CD for the car for example...

Just been thinking (yes it does happen now and again) wasn't there a free CD given away with the first 100 copies of East? I remember one or two people getting a bit cold under the collar about it, I also remember not being one of the lucky 100. :cry: Now that would be a nice thing to offer as a download. Anyone from TDI or Eastgate looking in?

Yeah, the three last encores form East would be a nice treat (but why didn't they just include them on the album in the first place?).
I believe they were "Alchemy of the Heart", "Ruling the Waves" and... one more.

EDIT: "Alchemy of the Heart", "Alexander Square" and "The House of the Rising Sun"!
And there were 200 copies, not 100.

Let's hope the downloads can be done in 192kb.... I've emailed eastgate about this.... hope others will aswell.

Yet another compilation to be found in the download section "The Soft Dream Decade". It contains two of the bonus tracks from the Melrose Years box, "The Back Of Beyond" and "Ruling the Waves" (misslabeled track, it is really "Ivory Town").

FYI: "Ruling the Waves" can still be downloaded from tadream.net (look under Media). And by the way, that is a 192Kbps mp3. :wink:

You can download "Ruling the Waves" at the tadream mailing list.

Edgar, you're going to have to employ someone (like me) to go through your tape vaults and digitally master all those old live tapes you have (?)

Certainly the seventies could turn up even more improvised gems than we have on the TT's/TL's etc...

Might be worth having a look in Chris's 'big cupboard' first ;)

Even more downloads have been added...a great way to checkout all of this stuff without spending money on what you might not like.

If I could preview the tracks, that would be great, but Internet Explorer still shuts down if I try to open any of the files.

I can't download any until I can retrieve my account password.
