Such a distinctive style.

So much so that every time I see Mikhail Silvestre I always think of him.

(edit) this one's even better.

Couldn't stand his songs, but he was a mischievous old bugger.
I grew up with his songs. Most of my generation here did because our parents, actually our mothers loved listening to him. I'll always associate him with my infance. :flower:

Really sad about this but while his body may have died, he still lives on through the amazing legacy he has left.

Lee was 95. His track record was unique. Celebrate, don't mourn.

Mark Hollis, former frontman of Talk Talk (the band not the cheapo internet supplier) has passed away.

His album Spirit of Eden was truly a masterpiece. So full of just about every emotion.

Took himself off and disappeared from the limelight a couple of decades ago.

Agreed - Spirit Of Eden is in my top 10 albums of all time - listen to it all the way through with my headphones on at least once a month. Much loved.
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

Was really sad to hear this on 6music this morning. They basically invented post-rock, but most people don't know them beyond their earlier, poppier, stuff. Having a listen through of everything as I'm working from home today. Laughing Stock is still the most perfect late-night-with-a-glass-of-whisky-and-the-lights-off music.

:cry:

The first time I heard "I believe in you" was from a stadium PA system, at about six in the morning, some genius had put it on as a gentle wakeup call to all the athletes that had slept the night in their tents.

I first thought "ah well then", stuck my head out of the tent, and then ... perfection happened. I stood up into a field of green, morning dew glistening in the early sunrise, all still totally quiet except for that unbelievably beautiful piece of music floating and echoing about. "a time to sell yourself, a time for passing ... spirit".

Spirit of Eden, Laughing Stock, Mark Hollis solo ... I'm going to sit myself down to those three tonight to celebrate a life. Whisky? Yes. Cheers, Mark Hollis, hope it's all quiet where you are now.
