R.I.P. Demis Roussos and Edgar Froese: What are your favorite songs of theirs?
Time's a cruel mistress -- two lesser-known but nonetheless important musical figures of the '60s and '70s have passed on.
Demis Roussos had a unique and beautiful voice -- it can take some getting used to, but fans appreciate his capability of handling tender tracks and more intense pieces with equal skill. I don't know much about his solo career, nor do I plan on exploring it (I'm not a fan of that sappy, overwrought, San Remo-ish ballad style), but I do really like Aphrodite's Child -- all three of their albums are highly recommended.

Edgar Froese, leader of Tangerine Dream, also left a mark on the art rock scene. Though I've never found their work as engrossing Brian Eno's, I'm sure that Eno wouldn't have mastered that ambient style without spending quite a few hours listening to their albums.
