Capturing the essence...?
Posted: Tue Feb 21, 2012 2:30 am
Hi Everyone!
I used to be a member on the old TD forum but was locked out one day (?) and couldn't get back in. I've lurked around ever since, trying to keep up to date with EF and co. but since the release rate just keeps on growing that's no easy task!
My constant obsession, being economically challenged, is to cram as much good music on my mp3 player as possible and in the case of TD, that means trying to capture the essence. To do this, I've put in many hours of research and planning (thanks to the progarchives, voices in the net, wikipedia, and you guys) and bought a number of TD compilations to pick out a decent amount of material 1970-2010, limited to 800 minutes (clocks in at 789 minutes, 10 cds were I to burn it, currently just playlists) and put it in chronological order (-ish).
So, why am I telling you this? Truthfully I don't know, except to say constructive feedback is always a good thing. So I'm giving you the complete playlists (divided up into those imaginare cds) and would appreciate any well-meaning feedback I can get, concerning my choice of tracks etc. At worst it's just a sampler and I'll admit from the outset it's lacking references to a lot of soundtrack work, but I hope it's a decent overview, and my dream is, as I said, to capture the essence.
To begin with, the releases I have are:
The Collection (castle) (1 disc)
