I would never entertain such a thought.
What can I say Flatfingers and Gunther. I'm feeling a bit choked up by your responses. Most of the acts you have mentioned have a place in my collection. I am stunned to find members here who appreciate the importance of these groups and individuals. But I shouldn't be really.
I understand your preference for the lengthy Tangerine Dream tracks Flatfingers. Unfortunately it's when you start using dates that those heated debates begin. Believe me, I've heard them all. There is very little that TD have done that is missing from my collection. The only album I have ever truly disliked is Cyclone.
After listening to all the TD albums, soundtracks and compilations through all those decades I still look forward to their next release.
The Dream lives on thanks to Edgar.
ELP are definitely in my collection Gunther (how could they not be).
I had to order the original Tubular Bells release from my local record store and
wait a whole week for it to arrive. It is now so badly worn it's painful to listen to. I managed to get hold of a duplicate copy of the original just to satisfy my collector side.
I'm in big trouble if you guys start posting your life in music stories as I will never be able to drag myself away from this thread. (Mind you, I wouldn't complain much
) It's not so bad going through the music story of Just_Ice as he has mentioned quite a bit of music which I am unfamiliar with.
Thank you very much for that little nostalgia trip gentlemen. It was fun and a genuine pleasure.
