What will TD be remembered for?
Obviously journalists and the media have played a large part in keeping Phaedra in the limelight. Certainly the album was a breakthrough where innovative electronic music successfully penetrated the masses, though both Rubycon and Ricochet are greater artistic and technical achievements in my opinion.
One recurring theme of the music press in the mid to late 70s was whether TD really were the future of rock and roll. I don’t suspect for a single moment journalists ever contemplated this with a serious tone and when punk took over their attention in 1976, the prospect of side long semi-improvised instrumental electronic compositions being the future of rock and roll seemed about as likely as Elvis Presley joining Kraftwerk.
