tadream
    Contact: [e-mail] (Dave Datta)

    Purpose:  Discussion of Tangerine Dream and solo projects by members
    of the band like Edgar Froese and Christopher Franke.  This list may
    be of interest to fans of ambient music due to the tremendous influence
    Tangerine Dream has had on ambient house and space music.  In their 25
    year history the band has gone through many phases, from psychedelic
    noise to electronic rock to borderline pop.  Most fans agree that
    TaDream's most innovative period was in the mid to late 70s, when they
    were exploring complex tone colors and rich, textural soundscapes, yet
    still retaining melodic rock solo elements.  Suggested albums for
    ambient house fans wanting to broaden their horizons: Phaedra (1974),
    Epsilon in Malaysian Pale (1975, Edgar Froese solo album), Force
    Majeure (1979), Logos (1982, live), Poland (1984, live).

tbi-sprt
    Contact: [e-mail]

    Purpose: The St.Johns University traumatic Brain Injury Support List,
    tbi-sprt, on [e-mail] was created for the exchange
    of information by survivors, supporters, and professionals concerned
    with traumatic brain injury and other neurological impairments which
    currently lack a forum.  We know from our own experience that one of
    the difficulties people dealing with tbi face is that their time is
    often dominated by the survivor's recovery process. Accessing support
    groups or networking of any kind can seem like one more thing to add
    to an already packed schedule. A forum such as this is available at
    all hours of the day or night and does not need to become one more event
    that must be scheduled.

    The postings to the list are archived and made available monthly
    through the listserv.  A file containing introductions submitted by
    subscribers is also available along with files relevant to topics of
    the list.  Additions to these resources are welcomed.

    To subscribe to tbi-sprt send mail to [e-mail] or
    [e-mail]
    Leave the subject line blank and in the body of the message put
    subscribe the line
    tbi-sprt followed by your name as you want it to appear in the list.
