..Sad.At least he rest in peace in the beautiful Spanish Island of Ibiza

 

I was working for a few shots of the first version of the Children video, on the Lausanne to Geneva highway (Switzerland). Robert wasn't there but we met later. A very down to earth guy, though his fame in Europe was just incredible in the 90's, just like Giorgio Moroder in the 70's or Michael Cretu in the 80's.
Still so young.... very sad.

 

His first and second albums are the best. Second one is as part II for the first album, more variety of styles, light breaks with that 90's dream trance. Posterior albums have more rock, breaks/trip-hop and ethnic vibes with experimental electronic, trance, psychedelic and ambient. Such as third album "Organik", but my favorite one. Album collaborated with Gurtu ("miles_gurtu"), a fourth one, is fully experimental, jazzy and ethnic. The Latest "Thirteen" is more about psychedelic and progressive rock with experimental ambient electronic.

RIP Robert. I like all your recordings, but many thanks for Organik album, which I am always inspired by, and first two albums, which became a classic for electronic pop, trance and house music and all EDM scene. Thanks for mystic of THIRTEEN album.

Michael Cretu also created good music in the 90's, his project ENIGMA, but posterior albums of Enigma was not so amazing. Even the eighth one, 2016, is a mixture of 90's Enigma style with EDM Trap / Dubstep stuff.

 

Children: One of the most iconic song I have ever heard. RIP.

 

RIP Robert Miles, it is sad to see people leave this world before they get old. He will be missed.

 

(good) R.iddance I.n P.eace

Most loved musician from my childhood, RIP Robert

 

noooooooooo, Rest In Peace Robert ...this is so sad news

 

A Jean-Luc Picard double in this photo if you ask me...


Actually very sad. At first I was thinking of John Miles who was famous for his hit 'Music,' and thought he couldn't
have been 47. But yes, Robert Miles was very original along with others mentioned, who gave us the idea of electronic, ambient music.

Sad...
R.I.P Robert!

"Children" was a magic touch of God that we people identify as inspiration...

Apparently he died after a short battle with cancer.
47 is crazy.

 

Wow only 47, really a loss.
