RIP Edgar Froese.

R.I.P Legend

RIP. One of my biggest influences. He solidified my interest in electronic music, surely.

What a loss.....musically he enriched the universe....R.I.P

Wow. Not news I wanted to hear. Prog Electronic just lost a great musician. Going to do some listening of his works this weekend.

Now Schulze is the last member alive from the original Electronic Meditations line up.

Wow.

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.

well said Vic..

RIP man.. 

Though I cannot call myself a TD fan, their contribution to progressive music has been extremely important, and their influence huge. Undoubtedly a great loss for the non-mainstream music scene.
