Was just about to call you, Sunto.

R.I.P Edgar Froese, electronic space music pioneer and main Tangerine Dream composer. I cannot explain what Tangerine Dream has meant for me over the years, and it makes getting to see them back in late 2014 in Melbourne even more special, some of the best nights of my life. Thank you Edgar for an incredible legacy of beautiful space music. I've loved and appreciated the many different eras of TDream for different reasons, and they'll always remain so special to me.

A sad day for my electronic music friends, which just makes me that bit closer to all of you.

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.

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.. 

Wow.

The full force of this loss is only beginning to hit me.  I mean, this guy was a legend.  I'm only a moderate TD fan (70s mostly), but when I think of all the albums he's put out - not just with TD but as a solo artist - and the sheer breadth of his musical influence on.... practically everything, it really adds a lot of gravity.  The end of an era, in a way.
