1. Live? Or pre-recorded backing tracks? For many acts nowadays, live-ish is about the best they can say. It’s sickening.

   1. live leads and pads- Schnauss also switches between sequences live

2. More live than than your brain cells ?

   1. Admin: Personal attack deleted.

      Keep comments on topic and constructive.

      1. But it’s okay for someone to respond to my initial comment with, “More live than your brain cells?” That was left on there.

         That’s not a personal attack? That’s “on topic and constructive?”

         1. Agreed

3. Unless its a live jam-band setup like Phish or dare I say, even King Crimson, “backing tracks” are a simple fact of life. If Ableton is emitting half of the pads and the like while the live players cover the rest, that’s called bringing the studio onstage. Its where the technology has been heading all along. Its not fakery; its simply using what you have with some forethought and style.

   If these people were good enough for Edgar to play with them, I’m fine with it. The concert was solid and it sounds the way TD should. Its seems proper that the name has been handed off to musicians who clearly get it. Uncle Edgar has passed, but the cousins know what they’re doing with the family name. I respect them for having the balls to BE Tangerine Dream. Its no small thing.

4. again: td without froese ist not td. imagine coldplay without chris martin or u2 without bono.

   1. That would be awesome.

      1. Imagine no Coldplay or U2….heaven 😉

5. td without froese is like the dave matthews band without dave matthews – a complete and utter joke, a job-creation measure for quaeschning. when ralf hutter dies kraftwerk is dead, and rightfully so. (or maybe florian schneider-esleben returns, who knows.)

   1. They’ve proven the naysayers wrong long ago – but you come across more like a troll than someone who actually sticks to a viewpoint long after it’s proven wrong.

   2. If there’s a post where you’ve contributed a meaningful comment, ragnhild, post a link. I’d be happy to be proven wrong!

      1. easy. a year ago, i wrote a couple of entries as…
         https://www.synthtopia.com/content/2017/07/22/k-sounds-intros-organimation-for-yamaha-montage/#comment-1348413
         sven eckner was the name of a long-lost love. he died of prostate cancer in the nineties.
         long story short: after my petition yamaha came up with the genos. its style creator adresses all sequencer flaws of the montage. call that meaningful or whatever.

         1. Sad that you have to go back more than a year to find one of your comments that you think is more than just trolling.

            Sadder still that you claim that your comment led Yamaha to “address ALL sequencer flaws of the Montage”, while just a few days ago, you cut-and-pasted a comment complaining about the ‘cumbersome’ Montage sequencer:

            https://www.synthtopia.com/content/2018/07/31/yamaha-montage-gets-another-big-update-adding-daw-control-more/

            So, not only did you fail to identify a single time when you’ve made a meaningful comment, but you’re admitting to trolling AND spamming the site using multiple fake identities.

            Mr Right would like to be proven wrong some day. Sadly, today is not the day, and you are not the person to do it.

               > Montage sequencer

               because it´s still a pita. the genos has all the workstation features the montage should have had in the first place. my guess is the yamaha engineers felt bad about disappointing the motif customers. so therefore they came up with the genos which is more motif than tyros.

6. ragnhild are you doughnut boy Jerome is disguise? The session is 100% live 😀

7. I don’t get all the negative comments. Never been a TD fan but I can’t see this as any different from any Jarre or Kraftwerk “gig”. It’s their music and a visual performance. What else do you want? Dancing midgets? Burning flamingos? Rian Johnson reading poems? There is no pleasing you guys.

   1. Your concert ideas sound interesting, but I like what TD has been doing recently, too.

   2. Please let me know when u play live – sounds fantastic 😉

   3. I’d go to see dancing midgets even if Coldplay was the backing band. Besides, the great gal on the violin has the touch. I especially enjoy her semi-solos. They fit the style beautifully.

8. the Quantum era TD is the best electronic music since the Melrose Years- Froes’s last gift was to bring Quaeshning and Schnauss together- amazing stuff!
