I was lucky enough to have, and still do, the early German albums still with the (infamous) HMV price sticker. Phaedra is in my opinion their best tron album and this is one of the most tron drenched tracks ever...potent layers of soaring trons...still drive me to tears...and goosebumps...and a shot of single malt....dropped them at the early 80's...too cheesy for me...however...

Very!  I had a chance to see them In Milwaukee back in the mid 80's at the Oriental Theater.  Quite an experience of synths to light show with the early use of lasers.  They have always been a massive influence and will remain one of the most amazing experiences ever.

How unexpected and sad.  He was a great 'tron and synth pioneer.  He will be missed.
