I've been a TD fan since my early teens, and I'm in my early sixties now, and I just have to say that Thorsten Quaeschning's handling of TD since the death of Edgar has been most admirable.

I've seen Thorsten in lots of issues of Musotalk, a german youtube channel for (mostly) electronic musicians and found him always being a very nice guy, very sympathetic, never snobby and very musical. Nice to see him in sonicstate showing his rig!

Old TD fans who gave up on the band in the 1990s and early 2000s need to come back. The current lineup and work of TD is to me the best they have been in many, many years. Like, going back to Chris Franke, or even Peter Baumann. Yes, I realize that's saying a lot. But give them a listen, especially the Sessions works, which harkens back to when Froese, Franke and Baumann would virtually improvise entire shows in the 1970s and the "Tangerine Trees" bootlegs.

@chaosme1ster 2 жыл бұрын

Thx for the tip. I'd indeed switched off on the modern TD work, myself coming from the Virgin years, and not really liking most of that they've done afterwards. I'll give the more recent work a listen.

@jimprior180762 Жыл бұрын

@phil Anderson I agree the middle "girly* years went very limp, but in the mid 2000s TD came back to life. I sometimes wonder if Jerome left because things had changed (plus he and his dad found it difficult to work together, in the shadow of his father). Jerome's album Neptunes is a wonderful example of what he is capable of in his own right. For me I feel there was a marked turn when Ulrich joined and brought new fire and subtlety, his own style is very organic. Ulrich had been a huge fan of TD for many years before joining. I feel Thorsten is the right captain now,after all he's been with TD for a very long time. And Paul Frick has also added a new element that I like, listen to Raum which although definitely very modern, has wonderful depth. I love Hoshimo's violin work, but she looks so uncomfortable live on stage.

I like that T.D. uses a mix of everything that works and is not dismissive about only using this or that (AKA only using real hardware, no software synths, etc.) I often find myself just wanting to use hardware only, and I need to get over the fact that other means such as computers and soft synths can be very helpful in plenty of situations. After all, aren't most synths just mini standalone chips on PCBs anyway?

Band leader Thorsten Quaeschning wasn't even born until TD's 8th album was released... kinda funny. But cool that they keep the band going and very cool live-rig! Phaedra and Rubycon are some of my favourite TD albums! Cheers

By 1969 all of the founding members of TD had left bar Edgar. So technically nobody has ever heard the original line up or at least only a handful

@TerrysQuest Ай бұрын

they are not keeping the band going. They are exploiting the name and legacy of TD by playing similar music and some covers. I've seen the classic lineup, when all of the originals leave it is no longer "the band", even if they were playing in the many line-ups. If you are confident in your music, pick an original name and put your music out to be judged on its own terms. Billy Preston couldn't tour as The Beatles.

Thorsten saved Tangerine Dream. From 2005 onwards, whenever a new album was announced, my first thought would be "how much compositional input did Thorsten have?" And the more TQ compositions, the more excited I'd be. I feel Edgar's compositions lacked cojones towards the end.
