Notes

"Lily got in from nowhere
Stayed in the house for a lifetime
And disappeared suddenly
Through the west window -
Why couldn't she go through the east?
She didn't know!
Have a cup of coffee
And
Relax"
- T. Dream

Lily On The Beach, recorded and released in 1989, had two aspects showing TD's musical direction for the nineties: It was the first TD album featuring Edgar Froese's then 19 year old son Jerome Froese as guest musician playing lead guitar on the track Radio City; Jerome would become a regular member of TD in the next year and get more and more influence on TD's work in the future. On the other hand Long Island Sunset was the first TD composition featuring saxophone, an uncommon type of instrument for TD's music of the eighties, but becoming a strong part of their work in the early nineties.

In 1997, the Italian magazine "Il meglio della musica new age" ("The best of New Age music"), issue #11, featuring artists with the initial letter "F", came with a reissue of TD's 1989 album Lily On The Beach, licensed by the Italian BMG Ricordi company. The magazine was available with the record alternatively in CD or in MC format. The music material was identical, but the cover only adapted some graphical elements of the original artwork. The 16-page magazine does not contain any TD story but short texts about Edgar Froese and Chris Franke.

The complete album was re-recorded in 2002 and released as part of the 3CD set The Melrose Years. Finally these recordings were re-released as Lily On The Beach (2009).
