02. D.I.T.S. (Jerome's Redux 2008), 03. Sun Son's Seal 3 (Retouched 2008) - 2009 seems to be a reissue year. big parts of the "Tangerine Dream" catalogue which were deleted for some time now just got re-released by "Membran" (a big company located in hamburg). aside from the republication of the already known albums, we got the chance to create two exclusive compilations called "Axiat" and "Vintage Vanguard". last one is a selection of rarities and remixes which were never available before. "D.I.T.S." and "Sun Son's Seal 3" are some typical D(ream)M(ixes) style tunes made by me in 2008. these releases hit the market under the "Tangerine Dream" flag but unfortunately, Myspace does not allow to customize the "band name" on their jukebox so even the TD tracks appear under my name. Not that I mind, but why ... ?

anything else?

i'm currently casting vocalists for the "powdermelt" project. the music is almost done and i am in an upbeat mood that we'll have a release in 2009.

fortunately, i finally found a copilot for my live activities so it is highly probable that there will be some live performances coming up in the near future.

then, i just got back from vienna where i spent a few days to visit my family and i also met my creator (EF). after a few bottles of ice tea, moist cake and sushi we had some quality conversation about a few projects which may be of interest for the one or another (don't worry, no reunion). but the plot thickens! details to follow ... !

spring around!

Hello again ... I know, it seemed that I disappeared from the scene for some time and perhaps it's actually not such a bad thing, because I worked a lot in the past few months and recorded some new material. The "Powdermelt" project already counts about eight tracks but unfortunately my next solo effort moves on slower than expected. As a convenient excuse I came up with the idea to donate one of my newest recordings to my listeners for FREE! OK, to clear up things right away "The Speed Of Snow" is a song about the winter season OR drug addiction ... cause I want to agree to disagree ;-) ... whatever. More info about getting the tune can be found here. Enjoy the music and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! See ya in 2009.
As usual you'll find more infos on www.moonpop.org

hi all,

after some time has passed we've redesigned our webstructure. some visual things will definately have a deja vu effect to the long time fans around here but a lot of details were changed. fortunately we finally got rid off our "buggy" CMS system and switched back to good old html. so from now on, we are able to update you with information in a shorter period of time. but why all the blah? move over to the network!

you can use the usual links:

www.jeromefroese.com, www.moonpop.org

hope to see ya at the shoutbox!

cheers,

jerome

hey there,

gosh, 2007 is almost over ... therefore I uploaded some new tunes on the jukebox for your listening pleasure over the holidays and beyond. SMT is going quite well so i had no time for an earlier update, sorry.

the new titles are:

Airborne (taken from my new solo album "Shiver me timbers")
Cartoony Universe (a track from SMT as well)
My Reality At 52 Degrees Of Latitude (taken from my 2005 debut album "Neptunes")
Decoding With Celine (LIVE 2006) (another title from "Neptunes" as a soundboard recording from a gig in London 2006 - DOWNLOADABLE!!)
Quatermasters Nightmare (the last and also simultaneously the newest TDtitle i've composed within my 16 years TD membership. released last year on a ltd. EP which is already long sold out)
Stratosfear (Jeromes Krautrock Blueprint) (a dream mixes style track i made last year, which will probably never see the light of day on a record release. main intention was to remix TD's "Stratosfear" in a way like a rock band would have played it. credits here go to baumann, froese, franke of course.

that's it for now.
happy holidays to all of you!!!! (and a happy new year as well :-))))
and now enjoy the music

best,

jerome
