... 

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

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

I read today that Heldon is "Definitely not recommended for fans of Jean Michel Jarre, but I'll give them a listen anyway, even though anything that's pretty wild, avant-garde and Zeuhl-influenced is unlikely to appeal to me. 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

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
 
2 stars 1976: Heldon - Heldon IV: Agneta Nilsson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRjn-Tooa68

Coming up next is a Frenchman we all know and love, and no, it's not Sacha Distel. Tongue

At least I listened to all of Heldon's albums all the way through, although I can't say it was a totally happy experience in all honesty. Tongue

He's known for the Evolution of a distinctive whistling synth sound and I'll tell yer that for nowt. He studied at the Berlin School of electronic music, but by 'eck, that's a long way to travel from Sheffield. Ta-ra for now, me duck. Wink

BRIAN ENO     A prolific ambient electronic musician, composer and record producer. He's perhaps best-known for having once been a member of Roxy Music, but he's also worked with a whole string of top-drawer artists, including David Bowie, David Byrne, Harold Budd & Robert Fripp, to name just four. In a long and complicated discography, there are simply too many Brian Eno solo albums to list them all here in one sitting, and so, with No Pussyfooting around and without further ado, I'll begin listing the albums here one by one until I'm through.

Hi,

I have written for her a nice poem, which she replied quite gently and perhaps thoughtful that someone would consider writing a poem for her. My hope was to help her light up her imagination and do some music, but I wonder if arranging things is her strongest ability, and I'm not sure that she has developed this into compositions of her own ... and seeing that she STILL has not released anything, would suggest that she is either busy elsewhere, or has given up music for the most part, and it would make some sense that getting on with her personal life would be of interest ... but I think she added something to TD that we did not see before, which Thorsten did not like, or might counter his own idea of how the music should be. If my name was Bianca ... I would have tried to keep the group intact, since they obviously made the music sound so good, and the lineup that followed without Linda and Iris was NOT dynamic and livelier than before, and lacked soul for the most part, and in some ways imagining that the mechanical side of the music would make it as well as the previous material ... well, I tell you what ... I don't remember a single "moment" of any of the new material since Edgar left us, and I think that many folks here feel the same!

At this time, and it is what ... 7 years ... I am not sure that we will be hearing much from Linda Spa ... as sad as that might sound and be! I do think, and maybe this is more my imagination than anything else, that she had a lot more going for her in what she was doing, than the end that she got ... put out to the pasture,  ignored and gone.

Hi,

The only thing missing here is the current list of names from the NEW krautrock generation, which is very good and worth the time and place and attention. You can hear many of them on Guy Guden's show, as he is the only one that has a dedicated ear to "Electronica" that most do not have. However, I have to admit, that these days, I miss the longer excursions that Guy Guden gave so many of the folks in your list ... and we're talking complete sides, and even Klaus Schulze got the treatment that no one else will ever show anywhere!
