Such sad news and so sudden too.
Edgar was Tangerine Dream so this will probably be the end. I'm presently listening to 7 Letters From Tibet, the album Edgar wrote as a farewell to his wife Monika when she passed away. Such a beautiful album, it just felt the right one to listen to.

I think we might be able to say Froese was the Paul McCartney or John Lennon of electronic music, insofar as he had a near endless quantity of catchy melodies up his sleeve. As wonderful as the longer pieces are, I find myself drawn to the smaller compositions. They often hit just the right chord.

A sad surprise. I spend hours when I was a teenager listening to Phaedra, which was my first introduction to kosmiche musik, and even electronic music - so, Froese's death is a huge loss to my heart.

For those who still lack the elusive and pricey original CD of Epsilon in Malaysian Pale, this nice 4CD collection in a traditional "fatty" jewel case will provide the music for you.
I have this collection and can vouch that it is full of great electronica. Some of it is minimalist, some sounds like TD, some completely different.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"
This is really sad. He was so great in many areas of music. He was a great pioneer/innovator of Electronic music. I am very shocked and don't want to believe this.

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.
Tangerine Dream was very dominant listening during my teenage and college years, he will be sadly missed and a sad end for such a great band too.
