Errol & Astralwerks-passing of an era

There are few people in the music industry that can claim to have had a significant impact on American Culture. My good friend Errol Kolosine is one of them. I just learned today that he's leaving his gig running Astralwerks (yes I know I'm late on this but I don't have time to read the gossip as much nowadays) for opportunities that will allow him to continue to expand on his abundant creativity.. (my words not his, he's way to modest!)

Anyway, him leaving Astralwerks is truly the end of and era. His legacy is amazing, and I know I'll miss half of it, but VHS or Beta, Beta Band, The Chemical Brothers, Air, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Phoenix, Small Sins, The Little Ones, The Kooks, Hot Chip, Badly Drawn Boy....not bad and there are soooo many more. So while a "passing" always brings with it a little sadness, I'm incredibly excited to see where Errol ends up next. He is after all one of the smarter people on the planet!

Hi there. I'm an old friend of Errol's and something triggered a memory today and got me googling - which is how I've ended up here.

I don't suppose you would be willing to pass on my email address if you know where he is now? My maiden name was Anne Gleeson - that's how he would know me. I live in England now and have lost touch with mutual music biz friends who might help me get in touch with him....

Many thanks.

Anne

I also would like to touch base with Errol, and don't know how to get in contact with him.

Plkease forard to him if you wouldn't mind.

Thanks,

Paul
