RIP Vangelis & Klaus Schulze
Usually I get my tributes out immediately when musicians I love die, but I was totally dumbstruck when I heard a few days ago that Vangelis had died. To me, he’s Beatles or Elvis or Rolling Stones level; a majpr influence in my listening and composing. And that’s why I couldn’t just throw out a…
