Teenage lament....

Playlist
Tangerine Dream - Discography 1970-1983
Neal Smith - Platinum God
Purcell - Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary

Still strangely drawn to Tangerine Dream's music - will no doubt break away tomorrow...

Here they are in 1967...




Two CDs in the post, sent to me via e-bay by none other than Mr Neal Smith, drummer with the Alice Cooper Group and a childhood hero...

He wrote my name on the envelope...

He signed the CDs...

He wrote "thanks a billion"...

Doesn't matter what the CDs sound like - these actions alone were worth the dollars spent...

After a superb home made chicken curry from the fair hands of the Executive Producer, spent most of the evening compiling an 80 minute T Dream megamix to present to Mr Lennon and Dr Prog on Sunday evening...

Went through each of the 19 albums I have, chose a track, created a 4:15 or so edit and cross-faded them to create the mix...

Hope they like it...

Track of the day, while I can still be bothered to keep it up, comes from way back in December 1980 - a short paino piece recorded at the Gesamtschule Felsberg and featured on Volume One of the 10 CD 30 Year Anthology being released this year...

It's available via the link to download my music for free...

DDHR - A SUMMER RAIN



Ah, hair - and a discernable jawline...

The repeat of "TV Burp" and the Thursday staple "This Week" rounded off the day...

Highlight of the Day : A package from a boyhood hero/Anne's lovely curry...
