[edit] Phaedra - Instrumentation
Quote from the text
"The creation of the album's title track for was something of a fluke; the band was experimenting in the studio with a recently-acquired VCS 3 synthesizer, and the tape happened to be rolling at the time."
The sequence that forms the basis of the title track to "Phaedra" was made with the recently acquired Moog Modular. Edgar had a VCS3 in 1971 although they had used one on "Alpha Centauri". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.110.109.208 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Line-up
It seems that Jerome Froese is no longer a full member of the band, but the forum on their website doesn't confirm or deny. He's not joined the recording of their last studio album, so we may assume that he's on iatus. So, let's change the article or not? Dr. Who 00:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- The FAQ still lists Edgar and Jerome as the only band members, excluding Thorsten, despite of his participation in "Jeanne D'Arc" (dunno about the last CD, 'cause I don't have it yet :( ). I would suggest to wait until the FAQ shows a change, or maybe ask directly to Eastgate/Edgar (?) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Equinoxe (talk • contribs) 23:07, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

- You might be right, though de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangerine Dream lists Jerome as a former member, so, who knows...--Dr. Who 23:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links
This section could use a teeeeny bit of work.
- I added a bunch of forums; addition of TaDream was long overdue, but the others are pretty minor. In the case of EMforum.li and EMportal.info this is however because of them being two competing successors of the late EMforum.nl (that used to be hosted by the Groove label); one or the other might eventually die out while the other becomes the EM scene hub, or they might both prosper, but @TM it's not possible to tell.
- I had to remoov "Tangerine Dream Great Discography", since the tdgd.eu link or broken and the non-redirect address - tubularcamilho dot piranho dot com - triggers an anti-spam response for some reason. It seemed a bit amateurish to me anyway, but it being in German could be useful. But since VitN is pretty much the de facto standard place for reliable TD information, mentioning normal discographies other than that and our own might not be required at all. Rainer's site has some good info on CDR boots, so I left it in... James Owen's comprehensiv bootleg tracklist [1] might also be worth of a link?
- Also just FYI editors - the added "blog with article transcriptions" may be handy if you need references of the "it has been stated in an interview" sort. The guy also has a site with scans of articles, here: http://thearchive.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/
- As far as misc. resorces go, there is also a Tangerine Dream webring [2] altho AIUI it's not of all that much importance. I've also contemplated linking Klaus Beschorner's site [3], not necessarily for his central role in the TD trading community (irrelevant for the purposes of this article), but for the "More useful TD files from other people's sites" section (incl. the previously mentioned bootleg discography & the fan-compiled TD FAQ) and his wide selection (to the point of being positivistic) of links.

- My opinion: If a See also link or External link is really applicable to the article, then it should be included in the body as a cite. See also and External links should be kept to a minimum. Per Wikipedia:External links, forums should not be linked. Also see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 14:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps I should note that if this article is reviewed for GA or FA, this will come up. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 00:31, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

- Haha, nothing personal, but teachers told me that the use of words of latin and/or french origin sounds strange to native speakers of English, and that in UK this is regarded as snobbish and aristocratic (I just would say stinky old. Doktor Who 00:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

- The article is slowly becoming very good, and I have also more ideas to further improve it (I'll be back soon).Doktor Who 00:43, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
