Quote Dear Friends,

This is a message to you we are very sorry for…

On January 20th, Tuesday afternoon, Edgar Froese suddenly and unexpectedly passed away from the effects of a pulmonary embolism in Vienna.

The sadness in our hearts is immensely.

Edgar once said: “There is no death, there is just a change of our cosmic address."

Edgar, this is a little comfort to us.

Yours,
TANGERINE DREAM TEAM

Yes, I'm at work and I'm finding it a bit hard to focus at the moment.

Shocked Cry I was just discovering The Island of Fay today and thinking it was a great modern TD album and curious about what they would release in the future... RIP Cry

Next gig: Alpha Cenaturi.  Sadly, I won't be able to make that one.  Cry

Those are some sad news. I got to see TD along with Neu! and Cluster last year, a truly magical evening. This passing really hits me hard, he's one of the most important people in shaping electronic and psychedelic music and his band one of the most important to re-orienting my current taste in music.

Froese was a true a pioneer: a lot of the music we hear every day and take for granted wouldn't exist without him.

Edgar Froese was a pioneering genius that left us many, many gifts of  wonderful music and will be deeply missed.

Very sad indeed.

He (and TD) were my first exposure to the world of electronic progressive which kept me exploring it!  Thank you Edgar for your work, it continues on!

Just put on "Force Majeure" one of favorites.

I was lucky enough to see the Dream several times in the 70s and 80s, including the classic Froese/Franke/Baumann line up. A real pioneer, and a pretty nifty guitarist as well as a mighty synth maestro.

Very saddened to hear of his failing health and sudden departure. The worst feeling is that the others will sooner or later follow and it's a pretty hard blow that he's the first one to go (at least from my personal all-time favourites). I can't stay if this also means the end of Tangerine Dream - although I suspect a few of the current members will claim to "continue in his name" - but it's an end of some sort, nevertheless. He both shined and sinned throughout his entire career, but his dedication and legacy are unquestionable. R.I.P.

Only just realised! I will never see Tangerine Dream. Sad news indeed.
Help me I'm falling!
