wtf? suddenly he is "edgar w froese".

i hope it's not really butchered.
please let us know what what the deal is.

i hope it's not what is being played on his website as

not get a nickel from me for this one... i bought the
"macula transfer" authorized reissue when it came out,
but it's the actual original recording - no wanking.

edgar froese - the george lucas of electronic music.
[and i do not mean that in a good way]
