Froese was born in Cadaqués? sweet jesus...the standard of journalism

No, is just a Spanish expression.
My English is not enough to explain it correctly but is something like Froese "saw the light" in Cadaqués or Froese "found the way" in Cadaqués referred to the period when hi met Salvador Dali in Cadaqués
this should be the translation.
n his book Krautrocksampler, Julian Cope Tangerine Dream described as "three visionaries" who, through Electronic Meditation (1970), took off towards the "outer space". The illustrated rock and Welsh musicologist described that work as "an irrefutable record of genius." And, indeed, is the Rosetta stone of the German avant-garde rock. Of the three musicians who founded Tangerine Dream (Klaus Schulze, Edgar Froese and Conrad Schnitzler), many years ago that only the third governs the ship Teutonic.
Surrounded by synthesizers, modulators, frequency and Mellotron, and backed by a host of rotating musicians, Froese has tried to stay on track by Tangerine Dream in the most risky. Therefore, Alpha Centauri (1971) and Phaedra (1974) and there are traces of genres that will take 15 years to emerge as the ambient, new age and trance. Perhaps now sound anachronistic, but were once essential items in transit from progressive rock to electronica.
Froese was born in Cadaqués. A mid-60s played in a rhythm & blues group called The Ones heap, but after a concert at the home of Salvador Dalí his perception of music and art changed completely. He has always said to know the Catalan painter was the brunt of his life, the second was to hear the guitar to Jimi Hendrix. And in two shakes of this caliber, it is normal that decided to devote the rest of his life to expanding the boundaries of modern music.
Four decades later, Tangerine Dream discography treasures a labyrinth divided into stages (years pink, blue years, the years Virgin ...) and blocks (trilogy The Divine Comedy, Quintet over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, tens of soundtracks ...) totaling over a hundred references. Impossible as stratospheric reduce production in a single concert. But this is one of only five dates announced for 2010.
