Sad. A great player. I've heard somewhere that he smuggled hin minimoog into pieces into East Germany during the iron curtain years.
RIP
I suppose that story is somewhere in the book Electra, Lift, Stern Combo Meißen, Geschichten vom Sachsendreier.Originally Posted by spacefreak
Sad news indeed. Anyone knows if Reinhard Fißler is still alive?
Great player, and very tasteful in his choice of sound and disposition of dynamics. Weisses Gold would arguably not have retained its sense of overt delicassy (even in those parts of complete bombast) if an exhibitionist keysman had handled those arrangements.

Very sad indeed.
The band just released a new DVD with a concert still featuring Thomas
