Yes, she is, and yes, you should. I've bought a few albums directly from her over the years. You're going to order her new CD Elemental Circuitry, I take it? Great album. It's a return to Web's Nocturne sound fused with some ethno-electronic goodness. Really nice to hear Kat get back to electronics.

Anyone here familiar with the Ash Ra Tempel record called Berceau de Cristal? It's really just Manuel Göttsching with a helping hand from Lutz Ulbrich, so not even in the vicinity of the original Ash Ra Tempel........it is however a wonderful live album cut in 1975 that extrapolates on Manuel's fluid beats and buttery guitar notes.

It's a great compilation with some material that's been unavailable for years. If you're a fan of the Web, you need it. It has a couple tracks from Aqua Regia, which to this day has still only ever been issued on cassette (in the '80s). It's also the only place any material from DW&WT ("Chasing the Shadowbeast") has appeared on CD, though I think Finders Keepers intends to eventually reissue the whole album on disc (it's already been remastered, but was reissued on vinyl!).

It is dark and visits the subject ...or reflection of the underworld. There are many things about the album that do not rise to the surface immediately...and even after the 3rd or 4th listen. It is very mysterious and invokes something into the imagination. So from my observation, it may not invoke a spirit, but it invokes  something within the listener...like a channeling..if you believe in that sort of experience. It may just be observed  through trickery of the mind rather than some sort of supernatural experience. The music is playing and if affects your mind/mood swing....well whatever?. Interesting album
 
It's no coincidence, either. The Stargate Tapes contains extensive liner notes that detail the beginnings of Emerald Web. The other players on the album comprised, along with Kat and Bob, the prog rock band from which Emerald Web evolved. So essentially, DW&WT is simultaneously the one and only album by that band and the first album by Emerald Web, which from that point forward would consist of Kat Epple and Bob Stohl.

I'd like to recommend the album titled Gaiatron by Cosmic Octave Orchestra, recorded live at Ricochet Gathering - Electronic music festival, at Berlin Schoeneberg Townhall, October 10th, 2010, and released at October 17, 2011, on Klangwirkstoff Records from Berlin.

I was afraid to read this thread and my fears were founded: I now have about thirty more albums on my music acquisition list. Still, a good problem to have...

I enjoy Tangerine Dream's albums from the Froese-Franke-Baumann and Froese-Franke-Schmoelling line-ups, Vangelis, Jean Michel Jarre, Zanov.

I also recommend Irish musician Michael Daniels, whom I discovered through his TD covers on his youtube channel (mik300z). He released two albums on Bandcamp and I enjoyed both. Recommended for Vangelis and TD fans.

Bucharest's INDRA Special Edition – Tantric Celebration (12 CDs), inspired by 'Ten Great Cosmic Powers', 'the misterious consciousness of Bhairava' and 'The Divine Absolute', is a sumptuous presentation of the Berlin School style.

Catpsaw is one of Emerald Web's softer albums, but great music nonetheless. If you enjoy albums like Tangerine Dream's Optical Race and Eddie Jobson's Theme of Secrets, this belongs in your collection. What's really cool about the reissue are the five early '80s bonus tracks, all of which have a different, darker flavor. Emerald Web had a very unique sound, with their synthesizers and sequencers complemented by an array of flutes and Lyricon wind synthesizer (and on certain albums, electric guitar and guitar synthesizer).
 
Listen to the entire album at this link (you can also order it there, directly from the label):

I agree with all. Really like his new album as well - perhaps better than you do but Progressive Electronic doesn't get much better than Green Ray or In Course of Time

EDGAR & JEROME FROESE: "FINAL MOVEMENT"
 
Quote
INFO:

This track marks the last official cooperation of Jerome & Edgar Froese in September 2013. Now, almost eight months after the death of Edgar Froese, Jerome has decided to make this piece of music available to the public for free (or donation). The tune itself combines all musical trademarks by the Froeses embedded in their own universe. Don't miss this unique final statement by a family band lineup which got seven Grammy nominations in a row.

Some of each on this list: Eno, Harold Budd, Fripp & Eno, and TD. I haven't gone far in that subgenre. And I'm very selective.
