Vangelis... 79.

Always loved his music. I sometimes listen to retrowave music (yeah, grew up in the 80's) and really like the ones that are inspired by Vangelis' music. It wouldn't surprise me if Alexei Zakharov also loves his music.

Vangelis passed away, one of grandfathers of inspiring and picturesque electronic music. A month before on 26th of April 2022 other well known great musician passed away Klaus Schulze aged 74, he is among one of my favorite artists, a true pioneer and source of inspiration for younger generations of musicians. Soundtrack for XbtF, X2, X3 highly reminds me of space oriented German electronic music played by classics like Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream.

Felter, your mum was very much a person of note. I am so sorry for your loss, but what a privilege it must've been to have her in your life for such a long time. - I know from recent experience, however, it's never long enough.
