Look backwards from any point in time up to 1970,and some clever dick will always find a long lost Krautrock classic waiting to be hauled up the flag poll as the inventor of any number of Influential,Seminal, or any amount of flattering superlatives applied to heavily lauded albums such as this,which obviously was Trance before Trance.
Then again, sift backwards trough the marshlands of Kraut,and we can find tracks like the nine adorning this, on most of those Gate-folded Kosmische classics, like Klaus Schulz, Tangerine Dream, ,and various Ex-members of Tangerine Dream, like Klaus Schulz. In fact TD could and should also be extremely guilty for thousands of British Ravers idiot dancing the week away in some obscure Cow field in Essex,near an exit off the M25 (aka The Magic Roundabout), back in 1988 before the UK Government made it highly illegal. What the Cows did during this process is a mystery, but there was a rumour that a Frisian and an Aberdeen Angus were seen dancing to the moozic, E'd Up, in front of the DJ on one occasion at least .
The difference between Manuel Göttsching and Edgar Froese is that Manuel had a drum machine, and Eddie didn't. Therefore Göttsching Göt the prize....he,by logical elimination, was guilty of being Trance before Trance.Whether that's anything to brag about is another matter altogether.

Well, I read all that, though I'm not exactly sure what the point you were making was. (If there was one, which is certainly not required.)
Anyhoo - the nerd in me feels the need to additionally point out that while you have 1984 listed, which is correct in terms of when it was released - it was actually recorded in late 1981. Which does indeed make the man pretty damn ahead of the curve. And his brother in this is probably Steve Hillage, with his stuff falling a bit more on the ambient side. Surely everyone knows the story by now of Alex Patterson playing Rainbow Dome Music at a club, and Steve wandering up to say, "Hi - that's me!" And lo, the early 90s were off and running. Or, er, chilling, I guess.
And I guess I don't have a point here either. Such is life.
MES would have fired Angus
Wasn't Aberdeen Angus in AC/DC? ......MES was so perverse in his tastes that he probably tried to recruit Angus Young into the ranks of The Fall in exchange for Mark Riley.
Never explain yourself or your 'Art'......but, i was trying to criticise this inner need for persons of music fandom to search out the source of any particular 'influential' groop etc.......get on my tits,but then again I find myself doing it all the time,,,,,as above so below. Yeah i knew the 1981 stat......don't change much, it could still pass for Klaus Schulze or any ex-TD solo-ist........innit?.....Bowies fav album was "Epsilon In Malaysian Pale". That could empty a club too.
I assume Angus would have filled the same role in The Fall as Bez did in Happy Mondays -- or else MES would have forced him to run from one side of the stage to the other twice as fast as he did in AC/DC. Still a coach, a music coach.
dont get me wrong here: I do believe you know tons of music and are especially good finding associations im between things. I also understand that MG has done a lot of stuff that coulf easily be avoided,
Yes, MG has loads of stuff that should be avoided,a lot of it on this blog...including, in my opinion,"E2-E4".
There aren't that many musical artists who have completely original ideas, everything comes from somewhere innit? You can connect the dots...
