Truly saddened by this news and my thoughts and condolences go out to Nadia and Richard's family and friends. I had the pleasure of Richard's company for the afternoon a while back here at home to listen to some NVA kit, Phono 1 and 2 being the main reason. It caused a bit of a laugh when we realise...

I'd like to nominate Isaac Hayes's cover of Bacherach and David's Walk on by. The original Dione Warwick version is stunning and the Stranglers did pretty good job of it but the Isaac Hayes version is a song I feel as well as hear.
