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.

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

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)

This is great

Cheers for that Had to pop out so listened to the first 15mins in the car - will finish later.
