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.

Rest in peace! I didn't like Electronic music until I heard Tangerine Dream. Unhappy

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

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

Extremely sad news. Edgar was a true pioneer, and I am glad to say that PA truly introduced me to the music of TD.

Rest in peace with God.

Horrible news. I actually received Franz Kafka The Castle a few days ago and its still in its shrink rap. I love some of the recent albums especially the 2004 release Purgatorio which is a true gem. So many great albums and so much brilliant music. He was 'Mr Tangerine Dream'. Thanks Edgar for everything.

RIP.

I think it safe to say that I would never have started SPACE PIRATE RADIO in 1973 if I hadn't heard an album called ATEM.

After many pleasurable meetings from 1974 on, Edgar and TANGERINE DREAM performed for my 20th Anniversary broadcast.

Some lovely memories and even lovelier music. Edgar was a great traveler. The journey continues. Thank you.

Sad news, indeed - a truly historic musician. Listening to Stratosfear right now, which was the first TD album I bought. I was lucky enough to catch them in Cleveland in the early '80s - wonderful, warm show.

Very sad news indeed. Tangerine Dream are among my favourite bands, when I first listend to Tangram some 34 years ago I was hooked immediately. For some reason it took me several years to explore their catalogue further but I'm very glad that I did. While I write I have Epsilon in Malaysian Pale playing in my mind, I bought it at a bargain sale and it exceeded all my expectations: soothing and mysterious at the same time, with some of the most beautiful mellotron sounds I had ever heard...

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.

That's fantastic, Guy. What frequency is your show on? Do you do a webcast?

It's a great shame. I don't want to add anything other than that, the mans' legacy stands for itself.
