Everything and Nothing / RIP Richard Wright
« on: September 15, 2008, 09:14:23 AM »
Just heard that Rick Wright died after a short bout of cancer. This is a huge loss. His keyboards, particularly with the early Floyd (1968-1972) were a big influence on me. He was certainly a pioneer in ambient keyboard sounds even though that wasn't his intention. Those early Klaus Schulze albums that revolve around the Farfisa owe a large debt to Wright. I'm going to spin Atom Heart Mother now.
