including 3 of their past concert DVDs.

RIP Edgar Froese, who passed away earlier this year. He was the heart and soul of electronica.

Edgar, with Klaus Schulze, Peter Baumann and Chris Franke, all early TD members, literally invented the genre.

First TD I ever heard was "Phaedra" in 1974 and that made a believer/convert out of me.

Soundtrack for Theif was pretty amazing. When I saw it was TD, I was surprised.

... ever since first discovering Rubycon & Phaedra from a recommendation from a friend who knew I was blown away by Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygen.

Listening to Klaus Schulze's La Vie Electronique as I'm writing this.
