[Stuntman] [Edgar Froese] [LP] [1979]. Seven years ago now, one of the greatest musicians and pioneer of new music Edgar Froese has been lost to the world much too early. R.I.P. . Along with Klaus Schulze, Edgar Froese was one of the greatest geniuses of electronic music par excellence. His works will still exist when other things are long forgotten. . "Stuntman" was the first album to use digital sounds. In fact, this album sounds completely different from the previous ones. Fortunately, not worse, just different. The pieces on this album radiate an unusual warmth and security. The journeys through the soundscapes leave the listener with the impression that he has seen these places before, although he has never been there. . As mentioned above, Edgar Froese created digital sounds for the first time on this LP using the legendary PPG. This digital synthesizer was not the downfall of the old analog synthesizers, but a welcome new possibility to create new sounds in a digital way. . This LP proves what great music can come out of it. By the way, besides the fantastic synthesizer sounds, Salvadore Dali's friend plays one of the most outstanding guitar solos ever, on the track "A Dali-Esque sleep fuse". . . . . .

[Aqua] [Edgar Froese] [CD] [1990] This is the first solo album of electronic music pioneer Edgar Froese. This is a re-release from 1990 on CD, but the recordings are identical to the LP from 1974. In 2005 there was a revised version of this work which I do not recommend. . Although "Aqua" is not yet fully matured, we hear here one of the greatest works of German electronic music. At that time hardly anyone would have realized that many more great solo albums (e.g. "Stuntman") by Edgar Froese would follow. . On "Aqua" Edgar Froese is supported by his excellent "Tangerine Dream" colleague Christopher Franke on the track "NGC 891". The remaining three tracks were recorded by Edgar Froese alone. . "Aqua" is a piece of contemporary history of German electronic music. Regardless, it is a fascinating work full of beautiful sound painting. If you, like me, can't get enough of endless Mellotron arcs, sequencer patterns as well as synthesizer pads and intelligently incorporated nature sounds, you can't miss this pearl! . . . . .
