Love the album but I got to admit that it's nothing remarkable or special. And to be honest I think they're just force-feeding us this "Part II" to keep us quiet and give the 'story' some kind of "closure". Something which I believe was not ever really intended.
I think you are talking about things you in no way can possibly know. If you have read the extensive Progression interview, you will know that TD has made a LOT of music planned for future release. This album may have been on the shelves for some time while other projects have been in the works. Mabe it is just now ready to be released. Why would they call it Part I if it was never meant to be continued?
TD have a lot of parallell projects going on. I am happy for that, and I really look forward to Chandra Part II!
Never said anything about knowing squat about it, I just said it was a thought of mine. It sure seemed that way at the time, especially it being a Froese solo album and everything. Why would they call it Part I if they never intended to continue it? To drawn us to it, of course. I hate to say it, but it seems to me that TD has become more money-oriented these days since Froese is in full charge of the band. An interview doesn't make a difference. Not everything that is being said in it has to be necessarily true, no matter how extensive it is.
As I've said before, I loved Chandra I (even if it was a bit meh!, uninspired and even reworked, especially the second half and towards the end; first half pretty good), and I, like everybody else here, I'm sure, am looking forward to Chandra II, of course, but that doesn't change my way of thinking.
