We can't forget Klaus Doldinger and Passport

Him and his band made a lot of EM jazzy classic tracks in the 70's, especially 'Homunculus', 'Eternal Spiral', "infinity Machine' & 'Ostinato'

Moogs, Mellotrons, Organs and E-Piano's galore

I've always enjoyed Passport! Listening to "Man in the Mirror" at the moment. My brother was a huge Curt Cress fan. Is KD still doing well?

Are any of their albums on CD and which ones would you recommend to start with?

'75 thru '81 years were very good.

Should be able to find some reissued stuff on CD; in the mean time :arrow:

Cross Collateral, it was also MY first album at the time.
I just bought it because of the great art-cover and the instruments listed.
It is stll my favorite album from Passport.

Doldinger rocks so bad. His NEVERNEDING STORY score is just unbelievable. Doing the whole orchestra meets synth thing as good as Goldsmith was.

Before discovering EM in the early 80's there was Passport. Wish I had some of his early stuff. Weather Report was another one worth mentioning.
