Members rasputin1963 Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Influenced so many people, from Kraftwerk to The Beatles. The White Album's "Revolution No.9" has his fingerprints all over it... I loved his "Gesang Der Jungling". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 A fascinating musical intellect, seems to me, who pushed the limits of what people dressed up for an evening on the town would sit through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cry Logic Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hard to quantify his influence... it was so far reaching. Yet I'm hard pressed to name 1 top 40 single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alfonso Posted December 8, 2007 Members Share Posted December 8, 2007 He had a major influence on many, I had the vinyl "Ceylon/Bird of Passage", bought back in 1976 that sadly is lost who knows where....a very interesting work, very underrated because too much "Crossover" and considered "easy" by the "experts", but extremely fresh and open-minded. It had a very big impact on me, that was the period I was a lot into Tangerine Dream and the quality of the integration of acoustic and electronic of this recording opened my mind a lot....in fact it has probably contributed to my style as I have always kept a central place for acoustic sounds in my electronic trips. At that time I was also listening to another record very often that I felt as a perfect complement to K.S. and T.D., something purely acoustic, based in a totally different tradition, a one of a kind and an absolute masterpiece: Art Ensemble of Chicago's "People in Sorrow" that for me remains one of the greatest "ambient" recordings of all times, despite no one has probably put such a label on it.I talk about it because those two recordings are tied together in my memory, they are a bit like the day and the night in a deep unknown forest.... well, a 15 year old boy is able to find links that maybe a more structured adult mind doesn't even look for. R.I.P. Karlheinz, and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Billster Posted December 8, 2007 Members Share Posted December 8, 2007 Sonofabitch, I didn't even know he was still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hard Truth Posted December 8, 2007 Members Share Posted December 8, 2007 His works used many new and unusual techniques, but they didn't sound like experiments, they sounded like the excellent compositions that they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 The White Album's "Revolution No.9" has his fingerprints all over it... And yet Paul was the one who probably showed the greatest interest in his work. We definitely lost a unique creative voice with his passing.

Members Jeff da Weasel Posted December 8, 2007 Members Share Posted December 8, 2007 As was mentioned over at MP's Keyboard Corner, Stockhausen is one of the people featured on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band album cover (back row, fifth from left). RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
