Hi Leslie
 LN> Great, thanks for the info!  Unfortunately, I can't access the WEB;
 LN> maybe I'll try it in a local library -- I'd like to see the pictures,
 LN> interviews mostly.
Better still, contact the fan club.
 LN> Cyclone, eh?  That's the only TD album with vocals, excepting a track
 LN> in Exit.  My favourite is Green Desert, Encore, Tangram, Pergamon,
 LN> Poland, and Logos.  I've never listened to Zeit (meaning Time in
 LN> English).  Is it good?
Its very good, although there was another album with vocals - `Tyger`.
Not one of my favourites, but some nice moments.   Its strange, but I seem
to prefer the `live` albums to the studio ones, Poland, Logos, Livemiles etc.
 LN> I too like TD's older stuff; I shy away from the shorter 3-5 minute
 LN> track albums.
Like `Le Parc`.  you just get into the music and its over in a few minutes!
 LN> I guess I'll have to visit the local record store to see what the
 LN> scoop is...
Its strange in England, very few record stores have even heard of TD, I
have to access the `net every week to find out the latest news.
 LN> White Eagle, you say.... hmmm... it's not what I consider their
 LN> best... but to each his own...  Why do you say they've gone downhill a
 LN> bit? 
The sound is too manufactured.  Jean Michel Jarre fell into that trap
too with Revolutions.   The Analogue synths sounded better, none of this
`catchy` 3 minute jingles with synthetic bass-lines.
 LN> One thing, when I talk about TD, people ask me how I got into it; how
 LN> did you get into TD?  Mine was through "Wavelength" I heard on the
 LN> radio.
A friend played me White Eagle about 10 years ago and I just went out and
bought almost everything.
Why not Netmail me your postal address and I`ll put loads of info and stuff
on disk or CD and send it up?
Cya
