Tumoas and the rest of the band wrote an open latter to her, immediately after filming the End of An Era dvd, and re-recording Sleeping Sun (2005) basically firing her, its on the Nightwish website- dodgy. Apparenlt she had been demanding extra money, acting divalike- though Tumoas allegedly had professed love for her, which was rejected. Tarja was married to her manager. She actually didn't even record with Nightwish; they recorded the music, sent it to her and she recorded the vocals; she acted more like a session musician. When Nightwish were going to do a show, they would email her....not much band cohesiveness. Then of course theres the drug allegations. But Tarja is still recording heavy metal, not very good though- plus she did a version of Smells Like Teen Sppirit that was sickeningly bad.
She had no idea that she was going to be fired APPARENTLY...
If you hear any of the new stuff, be ware- it is still beautiful and dramtic music, but with pop vocals. I have no idea why they chose the singer they did, but the album Dark Passion Play is okay.
Woops this is the psy discussion
Dalfir, I must say I don't think Ive ever lasted a full Space Tribe set; usually rock like a freak for the first twenty minutes, then boredom sets in a bit. His music is very samey, especially if you don't know it well. The last three Space Trive & Friends albums have pretty much been a triple CD, just released over several years. Mr Peculiar will rock your world.
