As I was preparing for my first post of “The History of Musical Influences“, I did something that caused a stirring in me that’s been going awhile, and thus it turned into a tornadic experience and I’ve started up a new project called “The Tangerine Dream Collection Project“

I spent the better part of the morning of Saturday May 20th 2006, re-ripping and cataloging everything I had TD related.  To my surprise…I no longer had as many items as I once had.  I’ve either lost them, loaned them to someone and forgot, and a lot of my material was destroyed in moves, etc.

It’s been a few years since I stopped buying everything TD related due to necessary budget constraints.  But now, I’m ready to dig back and complete this lifelong goal , thus a new personal project to acquire missing CD’s, replace destroyed ones, and purchase all outstanding TD related works that are yet in my collection.

So I went to http://www.tangerinedream.org/ and got the official Discography list and compared my collection to that list.  Even the official list at http://www.tangerinedream.org/ isn’t 100% concise due to a lot of imports, etc, but it’s what I’m going off of right now.

Obviously, I’ll be using SharePoint lists to keep track of everything .

I’ve set up a site simply called “The Tangerine Dream Collection Project” here:

There you’ll find the following lists:

• The “Official” Tangerine Dream discography
• Items currently in my collection
• Items to Acquire

I thought it would be an interesting project to blog about.

Stay tuned for Part 2 “The cost estimate and the wife’s’ reaction!”
