Tangerine Dream! |
Is this the point where I'm supposed to leap into the fray with my TD knowledge? I'd love to oblige,but I'm more than a tad tired and weary right now so if you're seriously interested in finding out about more about TD I'll refer you to my fellow fount of TD knowledge,Greenback. Listening to TD right now,actually. "Tangram",absolute classic!

Call me Mr.Dumb but I don't get that one.

Hey Mr Dumb. I was on about sharing your music files on say Soulseek
Too late the fuzz are on to us.
Is that a knock at the door................
Thanks Danbo

Personally, only having a few of their albums, so far, I'd put them among the vanguard of truly 'progressive' bands of the era; all multi-instrumentalists, not afraid to mix cross genre influences, and certainly never ones to sit on their laurels. All their albums are different in feel and content, but as a start, I'd personally go for either 'aquiring the taste' or 'octopus'. One band I know I should check out, but have not as yet, is UK - I know, Danbo, I know - very remiss of me......

'Octopuss' is probably more immediate....

Holy Spigot, Gartman.... No U.K.? It may take an extra day or two to fix that problem, however, I'm in a position to make corrections to your deficiency. Be thankful for the gifts that Allan Holdsworth will bestow upon your haggard ears.

progressive rock fans were risk takers, hence the reason we listen to

like or dislike? |
But... every CD I buy that I don't like means another CD that I can't buy that I do like!

I want to own as many prog cds as possible. The good and bad. I am proud of owning Yes cds even though I am not much into them. I find, for the most part, I like most of prog.
