Joe Meek has some electronic music hardware (compressors, tone generators etc) named after him, I remember seeing in a past issue of Future Music magazine. Telstar was the first record I ever bought. It still sounds good I think. Shaun Jan Reetze <Reetze@t-online.de> wrote: Quite frankly, I have never heard of Joe Meek, and I do not think the average music fan (or even Kraftwerk fan) has either. Quite (and an appeal to the ignorance of "the average music fan" would be no justification: the record was a huge hit). I don't know whether 'Telstar' really was an influence on 'Airwaves', but the comparison is amusing, and very striking once it's pointed out.
