[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". —Preceding unsigned comment 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?
  • 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)
per, de facto, prrrrrr, you are so boring, you and latin. :P Doktor Who 23:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. My life is complete. Carpe canem. --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)

[edit] "The Tangerines"

81.145.241.4 seems to have added this quote:

 (prior to this [being called "Tangerine Dream"; -ed.] the group had gone under the title of The Tangerines.)

Hafta call sauce on that; it's complete news to me. It doesn't appear in any of the band's histories I've redd (the booklets of the DRC & the iBox, the three latest incarnations of their website, and several magazine articles) so I'm a bit suspicious. --Tropylium 08:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I saw a flyer for the Zodiak club the other day (dated 1968). Btw most TD band histories just trot out the same stuff again and again. TD also played under the title of 'the Tangerine Dream band'
(Is that you Andy?)
And you're sure it's the same band and not a different group that EF borroed the name from? If yes, we'll have to figure out then how to quote a flyer as a reference... --Tropylium 21:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Afraid so :D, I'm 99% certain it is TD as we know them. I can't use a photo as reference as the owner has the copyright and has asked me to return it to him (which I did today)....however I did note what was on the flyer (I was surprised as anyone!). Drop me a line!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Tangerinedream.JPG

Image:Tangerinedream.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Members

The members list in the infobox has a potential to expand... a lot. The best option would be to fork off a list, perhaps "Tangerine Dream members and guest artists" or "Tangerine Dream lineups." What criteria would we use for members? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 17:16, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

It would be better to have a timeline like in the Genesis article, IMHO. Equinoxe 21:07, 20 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Equinoxe (talk • contribs)
It is neat, but I don't think it would work as well for TD since there are members and a multitude of guest artists. --— Gadget850 (Ed) talk - 21:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
