Jaki Liebzeit - created the 'motorik' beat and was one of the instigators of the Krautrock scene.

Maggie Roche - didn't she once have a fling with Robert Fripp? Still got their 1st LP somewhere.

2017 off to a flying start. Everybody loves you when you're dead. Rest in peace, all.

I've loved Can and their music since I first heard them. Jaki's metronomic drumming was a huge part of my musical learning so in a kind of way, I've loved his work all through... Apparently, he was an adventurous jazz drummer and when in Can, was asked to play it down and basic-clean (I forget the term he used in an interview) and that's what he did. Stunning stuff he did with them...

Now the news says Gordon Kaye (Allo-Allo) has passed - effin' brilliant :(

RIP all as above

Didn't Gordon Kaye come from Huddersfield? Almondbury or something like that.

John Wetton !!!!!! Oh, no.

I had a massive fixation on his music only a few short months ago and am/was an enormous admirer of both his vocal and bass-playing abilities.

It's going to be a sad evening of King Crimson and Asia.

Farewell.
