In 1974, TD left their birth place Berlin for London, was this decision important for their career?

Answered by Edgar Froese

It was the most important decision in the forty years TD’s existence. If we had stayed in Berlin and in Germany then, a diffusion of our music at an international level wouldn’t have been possible. Concerning progressive rock music, Germany was nothing more but a developing country. There were certainly interesting musicians, but there was no musical industry, nor media that were interested in this new sound. We could publish our first album „Electronic Meditation“, because we had been very lucky and had done a lot of convincing, we made a fool of ourselves and were avoided, as if our music were a contagious disease.
