He was an early member of the groups Tangerine Dream, the Cosmic Joker, and Ash Ra Tempel, in the beginnings of a career that grew to include more than 60 albums. Throughout the show I play mostly Klaus’s work but I sneak in tracks from Cluster and Can.

Mother Mary

This week’s Twisted Groove I dedicate to my mother, Mary, who passed away last week. As a teenager I would drag my mom into my bedroom to listen to my most recent music infatuation. She would always listen intently and give her honest opinion on the music. One night I dragged her in to listen to a full record side of Dark Side of the Moon. She liked it! This set ends with a couple of tracks from Dark Side…
