RIP Edgar Froese.

I was just watching my Canyon Dreams DVD on my new laptop a couple of weeks ago.  Also noticed that my 70's era CDs short by more than a few.  My '70's LPs were ruined in a house flood.
Electronic Meditation    1970
Phaedra    1974
Stratosfear    1976
Encore    1977
Underwater Sunlight    1986
Canyon Dreams    1986
Tyger    1987
Optical Race    1988
Lily On the Beach    1989
Turn of the Tides    1994
Goblins' Club    1996
Mars Polaris    1999

Enjoyed their stuff through three decades but don't seem to have anything post '90's.   Saw them live at the Center Stage Theater in Atlanta during the Optical Race tour.  The best light show I've ever seen.  Alas, I don't still have the t-shirt anymore.

I also have Oasis on DVD.

Once he was a force majeure of electronic meditations crossing throgh countless Rubycons, now he is a visionary of invisible limits in Hyperborea.

I feel elated, and having had the chance to enjoy this music all these years, has been for a long time one of the best things in my life. It never failed to lift me, and help make the next day even better! I know that we're mortal, and it is hard to imagine that Vangelis, Oldfield, Schulze and others will eventually follow, but what they have left behind has been a massive legacy of some of the most creative work in the 20th century and in the beginning of the 21st century. It is hard to imagine that anything/anyone else, could have stood up and spoken, so eloquently as his music did. I guess that I can shed a tear, and maybe go for a walk ... try to put things in perspective, and maybe even find a little mortality in myself, and those I love the most and cherish very dearly for everything they have inspired for me in this journey ... all this time ...  One can only hope that his unfinished autobiography gets released one of these days, complete with the missing chapter ... life, sometimes ... is just life, isn't it?

^ Seconded.

RIP Edgar Frose , as many have said here he was a big impact and influence on the Electronic Prog scene, and did alot for electronic and synthesizer music in general, shame many people outside of Prog and Electronic Prog have little or no appreciation for his influence and legacy.

It just hit me that the Melbourne shows were the final Tangerine Dream performances as well...these last few days still seem very surreal...

His music was an everyday companion for me when I was in my late teens. RIP.

Playing Tangram right now - RIP Edgar
