Hopefully having fun on the afterlife autobahn.

73 is a bit too early. RIP.

Same age as my dad. Famous people need to stop ageing and reminding me of my own mortality. RIP.

[DeskJockey]

RIP. They made some great music.

Bugger! RIP. True pioneers. Glad I got to see them a couple of years ago in Manchester - they were incredible

[JonMad]

Damn. Never saw them live myself, sadly. RIP.

Was he a hipster? Certainly an influencer before it was cool, inspired people everywhere
I never saw him live
If we weren't locked down I'd be out for a nightdrive with an pbvious soundtrack.






R.i.p., thank you for the timeless music.

Very sad news...

I first heard them way back in the early 80s when I was a little b-boy and into breakdancing and electro.

I loved their sound even back then - it was sparse, "clean", and punchy.

Managed to see them a couple of years ago and they were amazing (for a bunch of late middle-aged men, standing behind keyboards for a couple of hours).

They had a massive influence on music, genuine pioneers (they'd often build their synths in the early years)
