I may think, it's a quite good description.

I wanted to wish you good luck with the "brain-searing sonic attacks", but I can see it wouldn't help.

Heldon are an avant-garde Progressive Electronic band led by Frenchman Richard Pinhas. It may be pure Frippery for me to say this, but Heldon sound like a curious cross between King Crimson, Jade Warrior & Tangerine Dream, although not in a particularly good way. Confused

I definitely need to give all of Heldon's albums a listen now, come Heldon or high water. Watch this space. Wink

Actually, the second half of Interface is something of a challenge for me to listen to. Wacko
I listen to it first, and then to the first part as a healing. Big smile

Electronique Guerilla is rather straight Electronic, while half of  Heldon 6. Interface is pretty wild, "avantgardish" and I guess Zeuhl-influenced stuff.

Hi,

The saddest thing of all is that Linda Spa has not been involved in anything else that we are aware of, and it's not listed anywhere. Makes one think that she just went home to get married and have kids, unsatisfied that she could not stay in TD since one guy doesn't like women and thinks he is the son of Froese ... instead of Jerome, who refused to be a part of the 2nd rate TD since Edgar's passing due to the lack of vision and articulate musicianship rather than just mechanics!

Still nice, but nowhere near the quality of the earlier stuff, and DEFINITELY, the live shows with Linda and Iris were incredible and far out ... and deserve a lot more credit than they are given ... not to mention that the innovation of the old stuff in this new style fit really well and was constructed beautifully! 

I imagine that some credit of this is to Linda and her abilities as an arranger and composer, herself, and someone that probably had a good idea of what could be done with a piece of music, instead of just remaining on a riff, or a sound.

It's Not Over Now for Linda Spa, because I read recently that she has a self-composed collection of love songs coming out soon and I also read that her real name is Mad. Gerlinde Spazierer - although her friends just call her Madge, probably. Wink

I read today that Michael Hoenig once toured with Tangerine Dream in Australia in 1975 as a replacement for Peter Baumann, and also, I discovered that Michael Hoenig is listed on ProgArchives, so with that in mind, I'll feature his albums in my Tangerine Dream thread. Thumbs Up

Hi,

I have to recheck, but I think that Michael was a part of the same folks that were together in Berlin in the very early days, so he would not have been unfamiliar with TD or how they used their instruments. A natural replacement, however temporary it was to be, which I'm sure that Michael made his stand clear ... he was already busy on his own, and I do not think he wanted his name in the middle of TD albums or compositions.
I expect Michael Hoenig realised there's a lot more money to be made as a solo artist scoring soundtracks in Los Angeles (just like Chris Franke & Paul Haslinger) instead of being part of a trio, even if it's a very successful trio. Smile

Man, I suspect you to be able to read my mind, as I was wondering about the connection between TD and MH, and here you come. Big smile
