It doesn't really surprise me -- making music is a very emotional and personal thing, and chances are you don't gel well with your mates. I wouldn't be all too surprised had there been a clash of characters and egoes. Not to forget, Baumann probably hadn't touched a musical instrument in years, and ...

I bought a DVD of "The Keep" a while ago which turned out to be a pirate copy on a recordable DVD medium. The quality was decent although the DVD quit playing more often than once.

Since I wasn't sure of the degree of copyright law infringement, I returned the disc and received a refund.

This documentary is primarily aimed at people who use modular synthesizers today, and it is to showcase how diverse musical styles are which modular synthesizers are used within today.

Would you indulge me the freedom not to like his music and his synthesiser-playing skills?

Would this really be such a drama, and if so, why?

I think this is a very wise decision. Of course, every father would love to see his son following him in his footsteps but you mustn't expect your offspring to be exactly like you. Apart from that, Jerome would have to bear quite a burden -- I am sure that I wouldn't want to do that. I'd rather try ...

It seems as if people loose touch with reality a bit as soon as they have reached a certain degree of wealth.

I thought it was interesting until the vocals kicked in.
