Maybe this is no news to some of you, but I only recently learned that Wolfgang “Keil” Borgmann passed away in December of 2022. It seems he was ill for quite some time before his final passing. He was the original singer chosen for the project in 1986 and he can be heard on ‘Mekong Delta’, “The Music of Erich Zann’ and ‘The Principle of Doubt’, as well as the EP’s ‘The Gnom’ and ‘Toccata’. He left Mekong Delta because he could no longer identify himself with the music. Together with Ralf Hubert they both briefly co-operated in the band ‘Schwarzarbeit’ and in 2019 Wolfgang was co-founder (next to guitarist Arthur Bulach) of the german band ‘Mekong Age’, named with reference to his days with Mekong Delta. Unfortunately his presence in the band would be short-lived.
I was a little shocked to hear he passed away. ‘The Principle of Doubt’ is still one of my favorite albums.
