Yeah, always sad when important and much loved artists, writers, actors, dancers or musicians "leave us" but then again Conrad had a good run, or so it would seem... i´m no expert mind, but be seems to have influenced many and that is something. Or as Subtronik put it: A legacy
Obviously extra sad for you Michael as you knew him and even collaborated with him!
I used to love Tangerine Dream and would definitely say they were an influence, especially in becoming interested in synthesizer sounds.

That was so weird...
I had never played Conrad's music before, and then the day after I put his
tracks with Michael on the air in H86, he died.
For some, their art is their contribution to the wealth of mankind.
Sadly, in these times, many artists are not accorded due appreciation
until they are gone...
Keep up the good work Michael.
