As a fan of Krautrock I spent a lot of time listening to Tangerine Dream many years ago groundbreaking in their time

Just heard the news on the radio. I also spent a lot of time "immersed" in their music, back in the day. RIP

🙁 A legend.

'Aqua' kept me company through a long and insomnia-laden convalescence/rehab. Thanks for the music Mr Froese. Rest in cosmic blips and floating drips.

(Factlet - A 23 year old Edgar gave a series of concerts at Salvador Dali's mansion in 1967, with Dali playing the piano waist deep in water)

Some fabulous tracks, thankfully one of the few bits of vinyl I kept!!
By the time I saw them in concert it was 1980 and they'd already re-invented themselves, some great film scores too - Risky Business (!), Wages of Fear..

Shame.

That's a shame, TD were the first Krautrock/synth band I ever heard, oddly enough playing live on a Jimmy Saville show broadcast from Germany, after which I found an import copy of Ziet in Virgin Records in Bristol. Ricochet is probably my favourite TD album, and somewhere I've still got one of the promotional posters for it.
RIP EF. 😐
