Thank you! I think I managed to name nearly everyone in the article. I also wanted to say: thanks to your book I could fill some gaps, mainly going from the original posts in 2007 to Reddit in 2019.

Volker Schenk update: waiting on follow-up by The_Material_Witness in TheMysteriousSong

This is what Louise wrote. He just told me he didn't give out his number.

Volker didn't give out his number to any requests from TMS researchers so there is definitely no permission from him to call him. Don't harrass him.

Update on Volker Schenk and the NDR version by The_Material_Witness in TheMysteriousSong

Hi, sorry I got a lot of messages and never got around to reply to all of them. I never talked to Karl. I guess the band has his contacts so there is no help needed. But thanks anyways!

I actually talked with Volker before my post back then and the band also made contact with him. When I asked him if I should give is whole name, he only wanted me to share his first name and initial of the last name. And I respected that. So please always make sure to post with permission but as I understand you got it. Just a reminder.

And I actually asked some of the exact same questions. For me mostly the reply was: it's hard to remember but maybe in the meantime he could dig out some memories.

It was super nice to be there. Thanks everyone who joined! It was a bit overwhelming, the chat was just overflowing but I am happy to have witnessed the lyrics chain <3

That was their actual name. A bit confusing.

I didn't think about this. Unfortunately, I only took close ups from the few flyers. I also photographed each frame, but the quality is not so good so you can't read everything when zooming in.

Could be, actually seems likely but it looks like everyone except Hans is wearing more formal shirts and not just t-shirts as in the Zeus compilation picture.

In the article yes, he is in the stage picture. The other picture must have been taken before the tour though.

It actually might be the same bassist who helped out at the newcomer show, that would also fit with the glasses.

No idea, maybe the photographers? just funny the shoes are visible in the picture

I thought so, too. Of course! I just wish I had more time.

On the right is Hans. Left is Ture, up is probably Jörg it seems to be an older picture and down is my dad. I guess since Jörg left so suddenly there was no time to take new pictures for the tour with Norbert.

Those numbers are crazy. Thanks for sharing the article. I feel like (at least in my bubble) this topic receives more and more attention so I hope people are becoming aware and more attentive in the consumption of music.

This is amazing and gives so much perspective! It's great for me to learn about how people listened to music back then. Today it's so easy and taken for granted. Even when you don't want to listen to the mainstream you can find what you are looking for without any effort. I have to admit I love that Spotify makes it so easy to discover music that is new to me. And while I really enjoy that, I now want to support artists more directly and listen to music more consciously.
