Yeah, I'd heard about this yesterday. Was too depressed about it to post anything.
Syl posted a video in the listening thread.

One of my favourite musicians and an originator of chaos in popular music.
On the same day as Christopher Lee, too.
Real bad day for humans.

Such a wonderful artist, I've had so much fun torturing people that only listen to radio/tv music with his songs

I still remember the day I listened "a collective improvisation" for the first time.

this was my feeling too. Huge influence, not only on my music but also on my general ways of thinking.

Obviously, these are the best ones.
But the more recent
Sound Grammar is decent, too.
Live at the Golden Circle is a great live album.
