We have lost two of the most influential composers in the electronic music scene in just over three weeks. Klaus Schulze & Vangelis both had music careers spanning over 50 years. I had the privilege of seeing both musicians performing, only once for Vangelis at the Royal Albert Hall in 1976, supporting his first album for RCA, Heaven & Hell. Klaus Schulze as many of you know was a member of Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel & Cosmic Jokers before departing on a solo career with a prolific output of over 100 albums. Greek composer Vangelis was best known for his epic soundtracks to Blade Runner, Chariots Of Fire & more, renowned for harnessing experimental electronic sounds from Avante -Garde to Symphonic, a "one man quasi-classical orchestra" composing and performing on the first take. As we take our journey into this latest edition, let’s reflect with sadness on the power & majestic sounds these two incredible musicians have given us over many decades., R.I.P.
