Looks good, but what we need is an official biography made by Edgar.

That's the one I'm really looking forward to, Edgar's bio. The FAQs on this new website have my mouth watering at the prospect of the book. There's some great snippets of info there.

Wasn't Edgar going to write a book called the "Coachman's Tales, about the time Tyranny of Beauty" came out, no, I mean "Turn of the Tides"??

Makes you think whether Chris will wake up and write his version of TD's history

I can't see this happening, although we may see a riposte, if Edgar's book carries any particularly damning passages.

Lets first see that book, I believe he is just to busy with all the new activities of TD.

There were extracts from it on the TOTT inner sleeve :wink:
RIP Edgar. I am going to miss you.

Also in the TDI-version of Tyranny of Beauty. The one with salival on the cover.

I'd prefer an autobiography myself, we've waited too long for something on the group, and the only things we know so far a few bare bones, and in some cases that's distorted beyond the truth. Time for Edgar to add some details and annecdotes I think :)

We need the Edgar book sooner rather than later :idea: :wink:

Quite apart from the fact that Edgar has been very busy of late, it must be difficult to know where to end this book. TD have been on a epic journey and there is more to come. That said, the wait is frustrating and I'm eagerly anticipating its release.

Exactly!, Edgar has to set himself limits, but then again he understands that in music, so it shouldn't be a problem in prose. I hope this turns out to be a massive TD-tome, with lots of new insights on the group, techonology and life in and outside TD.

And plenty of the great TD artwork from down the years. I would like to see some photos from the Froese family archives, as well!
