Edgar Froese, 1944-2015

 

Very sad to hear of the death of Edgar Froese, founder and last remaining original member of Tangerine Dream, at the age of 70. It's impossible to overestimate the influence Tangerine Dream has had on music, and on me. It will be interesting to see whether there is any impetus for the band to continue, either with the latest members including Ulrich Schnauss, or with the return of previous members. Either way, Edgar Froese's musical legacy will be eternal.
