mmm... I think that is relative.... maybe TG must see arround in their past in order to get a good future...
TG with anneke did an extremely pop and simple music during latest years, with the known "experimental" excuse... TG caught a lot of new fans with that maybe... but this made lose their own roots and it was a bit sad..
TG was just anneke with a nice guys playing behind her in the last two albums.... that could be great for many people.. but I'd like to hear TG as a band... not as a person... anneke is a great artist, nobody can deny that, and according to her musical tastes, she helped to TG to move away from their roots.. and again.. that was very good for new fans, and a bit weird and sad for most of former fans (most of them are not in this forum anymore of course)...
because of all that things, I think that worst mistake would be to continue with the style from bld on... anneke will do that in her new project... TG must do the music with which they became well known around the world, even in so distant countries as mine...
let anneke continue with her music, we're gonna listen to many souvenirs and homes with her new band... and indeed TG must move away from that now...
I like too much the anneke's work with the band, specially first part.... Mandylion is one of my favorites albums ever.. and I'm not talking about of the TG albums only, but about all of my favorite bands...
but, nevertheless... I was pleased about anneke's leaving, because it means the finish of a road... a road that I didn't like in its last part.. and at the same time, it means the beginning of something, I don't know what really... but I hope something important to TG
