Title: Florian Schneider RIP
Post by: River Don on May 06, 2020, 05:30:15 pm

What a sad day.

For me it's akin to the loss of a figure of the stature of John Lennon or Brian Wilson.

What a great legacy he leaves behind.

Fitting that my first exposure was on ' Tomorrow's World ' in 1975 as they did produce the music of tomorrow.  Listening to the tributes on BBC 6 Music today i, t's still astonishing how , even their early work, doesn't sound dated but just as contemporary. Luckily I managed to see them twice in concert,  where the visuals were as stunning as the music. A sad loss.
