Baumann is only 62 so he could surely keep it going for some years. Quaeschning/Baumann/Schnauss is indeed an interesting lineup.

What would it take to get Franke, Schmoelling etc. back, you think?
Hard to tell. Franke and Edgar Froese did not really have a very good relationship after Franke left in 1987. He has been living in Hollywood for 25 years now, but even there he hasn't been working much since 2010. I'm pretty sure he will never join TD again. He hasn't even commented on Froese's passing.
Schmoelling is playing in the group LOOM with Jerome Froese, so I guess he is concentrating on that. Very cool group by the way:

Good to see TD going on BUT I have to wonder why wait so long before rejoining? Is it that Tangerine Dream without one of the original lineup wouldn't make sense to continue cause let's be real here for a moment, Baumann left in the 70s and hasn't released any music himself since the early 80s. It seems his focus has shifted elsewhere. What I'm saying is it would have been bigger news had Franke decided to come back.
Baumann joined in 71 so he was not really in the original lineup...
In the early 90s he did the (unreleased) Blue Room project with Paul Haslinger:

Maybe Baumann needs the money? ;-)

I had to think when I saw the name Paul Haslinger, then remembered he did those great tracks included on FSM's Outland. Need to check out his music.
Do you mean Michael Boddicker? Haslinger was not involved in Outland.

Wasn't Peter Baumann the founder of the 'Private Music' label ?
I hope to see some unreleased stuff on CD, like 'Das Maedchen Aus Der Trappe'. Original versions that is, as a tribute to Edgar Froese. Virgin an Jive records probably have some unreleased stuff lying around !

You're correct. Jerome Froese currently has some Private Music rarities on his website:

Anyone curious should check out Peter Baumann's albums; Romance `76 and Trans-Siberia. They're very evocative of Tangerine Dream's late 70s style.
I'm hoping that rarities get released but it'll be a while before they do. As for soundtracks, I doubt that the TD estate has much control over those.

I guess you mean Trans Harmonic Nights.

Well, Peter and Edgar did meet up back in Dec/Jan, so they no doubt sketched a few things, but they probably mostly chatted about good times and drank oolong tea.
I do think it's funny that Jerome is issuing two compilations based on his years in TD (which altogether, sparing a dozen or so tracks, encompass the band's worst output, thanks in no small part to "TDJRome").
After Thorsten, Ulrich and Peter do record this one album, I agree it's time to retire the name...and OPEN the vaults!
Opening the vaults would be a wonderful thing, and very relevant to this board, considering just how many soundtracks could be officially released.
