I don't do many gigs but when I saw Kraftwerk it was the first time I had that sense of witnessing true iconic legends ... not just mere mortals.

― calzino, Wednesday, 6 May 2020 15:51 (six years ago)

Florian always seemed to be the one who was enjoying himself most ;_;

― Angry Question Time Man's Flute Club Band (Tom D.), Wednesday, 6 May 2020 15:53 (six years ago)

I think Florian did a very amusing parody of a guitar solo on his Pocket Calculator keyboard when I saw them, but it was 30 years ago and I don't trust my memory that much.

― calzino, Wednesday, 6 May 2020 16:23 (six years ago)

Yes, that was his little bit of stagecraft!

― Angry Question Time Man's Flute Club Band (Tom D.), Wednesday, 6 May 2020 16:23 (six years ago)

Fuck. RIP.

Oh shit, that's awful about Ty. He was a lovely guy, made some fabulous records, and really was an important part of the UK hip hop movement.
