Precisely. Strange that people would misread that. I think they're fazed by Jerome's emphatic dismissal of any activity in the TD camp from this point forward.

At this point, I think this is simply an emotional comment. I just heard one of his CD's (Snow something or other) and it is VASTLY different from the Tangerine Dream stuff that had become more about its classical music flow, than its music/fusion design. In many ways, Jerome's work in that CD was much more "modern", or at least rock/fusion minded than Tangerine Dream has been for some time. Thus, him not wanting to be there is a well founded idea and design, that ran its course while he was there, and it did not take hold, with the rest of the band, for whatever reason ... the kid wanted to hear something else, and he likely did not get the ear appreciation he was hoping for, and as such, it is quite clear that he does not want to have anything to do with it, because he either does not care for it (I doubt it!), or he wants to expand on what he has already done, instead of just MOS/MOR sounding musical concepts and designs, which I do not find TD to be, because of the electronic use of the many effects, even at times they might be considered a bit of perfume and mascara to the same thing.
I have mixed emotions about it all. I do think that "TD" can only be done and have a reasonable continuation if Jerome is involved, and that it probably will not last or go anywhere in any other version, specially, when people here are not even keeping the women involved, which I think is a gross shame! But maybe it is time to give Iris, Hoshiko and Linda a bit more to do, and add effects to their instruments to an incredible extend, that it becomes something else that we can enjoy and appreciate.
I'm not sure that we're helping any by even thinking about it, though! I hate the thought that I am actually confusing them all even more with the comments, even if they seem logical to me.
