To collect music from your favourite band is a funny disease! You MUST get the latest album or single. When it comes to rare or hard to get albums, you try any cd store out there, before checking Ebay. My passion is the german Instrumental-Electronic band Tangerine Dream. It started back in 1982, when I heard the 20 min. long track "Mojave Plan" from the album White Eagle. From that moment there was no way back!
The band released it`s first album "Electronic Meditation" back in 1970, with the members Edgar Froese, Klaus Schulze and Conrad Schnitzler. They have released about 140-145 albums to date. (including many soundtracks and compilations and re-releases etc)
I have now seen the group 11 times around in Europe, and met the band several times backstage. It do cost a lot of money being a somewhat "mad-collector"! But it is definately a funny disease. :-) cheers.
So here is my entire Tangerine Dream collection, with solo artists and ex-members as well.

it is always good to have a passion
:-) Yes it keeps you focused! :-) ...and blind at times!
Wow! I guess you are a fan. Makes my collection seem so unimportant.
No collections are unimportant Wiz! :-) I`m hardcore TD! And some of the other fans has far more than I have! In comparison to those, I might feel the same as you do. :-)
Hard to imagine having over 200 releases by any one artist. And my wife always ask why I need to buy another CD. LOL.
I can see your collection in the background of your picture! Looks like a huge collection to me :-) I`m single, so I do not have the "nagging" problems that you`ve got! He-he
:-)
Woa! That collections is one you'd be hard pressed to match against any of one other artist. I guess we'll be hearing a lot of TD posts, huh? Not a problem here. Go for it!
MusicRX: You will find loads of them in the Tangerine Dream lounge here on Mog. I `ve pouring out posts especially last year :-)
Will check those out!
Those are bookshelves in the background of my picture. My CD collection is in cabients in our living room and my LP's are in crates in my basement. Still want to get my LP collection digitized.
Wiz: That`s quite a task! But I guess there`s many hidden treasures in your LP collection!
Yes but maybe easier than replacing every one by buying the CD's if they even could be found.
Here's something for you guys..Straight outa Brooklyn..Enjoy!!
