    RIP. Thank you for the music and everything else.

    The Black Dog was a very formative influence for me. Odd, I'd never figure I'd have some sort of special Christmas music, but I think I will now after blasting TBD non-stop to illuminate the darkest season and heavy news.

    A short message from friends and a very truncated biography.

    edited to add: Create Digital Music has a nice retrospective.

    Sad news - a huge influence on me - got the "virtual ep" and "age of slack" when they were released - I still play them often.

    I am not familiar with much of his later work as i preferred BDP when Ed and Andy(Plaid)were involved in the Project. Spanners and Bytes are 2 my all time favourite albums, but this sucks nonetheless

    RIP, mate
