(Prog) Krautrock pioneer Dieter Moebius has died aged 71. The Cluster co-founder's death was confirmed by his former Harmonia partner Michael Rother.

Moebius was born in Switzerland in 1944 and studied art in Brussels and Berlin in the 60s. There, he met Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Tangerine Dream's Conrad Schnitzler and together they formed Kluster in 1969.

When Schnitzler left the band they changed the name to Cluster and released 15 albums, including two collaborations with Brian Eno: 1977's Cluster & Eno and After The Heat the following year. Read more here.
