Rainer Bloss, RIP

Anybody got an article about this? I only just found out via e-mails from the Yahoo! Groups, which I seem to have lost my info about years ago.


Hello, my friend...

Marian posted this http://www.alphaville.info/rainer-bloss/ yesterday :(

Edit : just saw that Tobias wrote a moving text too on AVNow.

At the time I had loved Drive Inn III so much that I ordered a second copy for my uncle, fan of synth music.

Rainer Bloss

Dear all,
it is my sad duty to inform you that Rainer Bloss, my longtime musical partner and dear friend, has passed away yesterday after a brief yet severe illness. As a musician, he was a giant. Without him many of the most wonderful Alphaville compositions would have never been created. As a person, he was the sweetest and friendliest character I ever had the honour to know. I am writing this with tears in my eyes.
Farewell, Rainer. We will never forget you.
And your music will never die.
Marian Gold

Almost all my favs AV songs since early 90's have your name in the credits. Goodbye Rainer, dear friend I have never met or spoke to. Thanks you so very much. Goodbye.

One more sad new. He will always be missed.


Whatever you do, never explain yourself : your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe you.
