That's pretty much it. I've added my twopence worth in the past, and I own most of CF's solo output. :lol: I still believe that he is capable of something very special but has not stretched himself out of his comfort zone.
I agree that he could be very talented but what as he done that sets the EM world alight.
An unkind ex friend of mine once described Td music as music for supermarkets/lifts i'm sorry to say it's more likely Asda will be knocking on CF's door :wink:
Again I would say all his 5 albums from PCH upto The Celistine Prophecy are very good and are a lot better than a lot of the stuff coming out these days and are classics to me anyway.

But it appeared also on the original Score from the movie "Zoning" in 1987 (maybe the soundtrack was done back in 1986), but not on the 90s Soundtrack CD, re-done by Edgar.
Then in 1989 a Chris Franke Version appeared on the first KLEM-Compilation-CD.
Listen to "Scrap Yard" from Thief (1981) and then listen to "Cool Breeze of Brighton."
There's the same synth theme… Otherwise it doesn't strike me as too similar.

Just checked out the Zoning pieces. Many different takes on this sequence bundle, actually!

There is however still a version older than '86: dig out your copy of The Park Is Mine, and check out Taking The Park Part 2. It's (almost) all there — the high and fast opening, the little "blinky" sounds in the background, the bass sequence midway thru, the beefier bass sequence near the end…

Here's how I look at it:

Code: Select all

Scrap Yard → Cool Breeze of Brighton → Ride on the Ray
                         ↗          ↘
     Taking the Park pt 2              Modesty and Greed
                         ↘
                           Vermillion Sands
So is Scrap Yard 2008 based on the Thief version or one of these other pieces? I'm curious here. 8)

Very nice. Has Edgar Rothermich (Richard E. Roth) ever released any of his own work?

Great stuff, although calling it "live" may be stretching it a bit... 8)

Very nice. Has Edgar Rothermich (Richard E. Roth) ever released any of his own work?
Here is his filmography, seems like he has been working with Franke for 20 years:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0745178/#Composer

He has three albums out on Amazon, seems like Why Not Solo Piano way be quite similar to Franke's new age-stuff:

Thanks.

Seems to have been doing a lot of work for Chris Franke.

What a shame this video was never released. I'd have lapped it up at the time, having missed the actual concert and being rather underwhelmed by the "London Concert" album.

Twenty years ago. Makes me feel old :wink:
