Edgar Froese's Aqua at 50
We get liquid with Edgar Froese‘s solo debut album, Aqua, released 50 years ago. Froese was the founding member of Tangerine Dream and this album has that sound but goes in a more experimental, impressionistic direction. This album was recorded at the same time as Tangerine Dream’s Phaedra album, but was conceived in Froese’s studio in Berlin instead of the Manor Studio in Oxfordshire. It’s a more abstract version of the music that would be the Dream’s signature, but a lot of the same elements are there from the Moog synthesizers and mellotron to the sequencer grooves. John Diliberto goes liquid with Edgar Froese’s Aqua at 50 on Echoes from PRX.
