Oh no! I was just getting into his stuff last year thanks to eMusic really pushing compilations of his music into their spotlight repeatedly -- somebody there was clearly a big fan, and I'm glad they were.

A year almost to the day since a friend introduced me to this man's unique music. RIP

I was talking about him just the other day. I was joking with Ligerpants about how Spotify keeps asking me to "discover" artists and songs I'm very familiar with, but that he was an exception--he was someone I'd never heard of previously, and was happy to be introduced to.

Me too! For some reason I didn't realize he was still alive.
RIP.

I hope he got to enjoy his very tardy international fame!

I had not heard his music before but I have been listening to a lot since I heard about his death. Amazing music.
