Awww, creator of some of the most beautiful music. Waaaaay too young.

Incredibly sad. Martin's playing sparkled over Felt's best records and added a lustre to every musical situation he was involved in. a true keyboard wizard.

Totally agree with that. The Felt albums he played on are the best. He was also one of the people responsible for bringing back keyboards as a "rock" instrument. There hadn't really been any fresh & distinctive keyboard players outside of synth-pop since maybe Una Baines.

How rare was it for that generation of musicians to use organ rather than synth in the mid-80s? I can only think of Talk Talk as an example.

It wasn’t super-common but also by no means unheard-of, most often involving acts who were more or less 60s / beat inspired - off the top of my head you can expect to hear organ on records by the likes of the Prisoners, Makin’ Time, TVPs, Jasmine Minks, bit later on the Sea Urchins, Inspiral Carpets.

Interesting, though if Duffy was using a Hammond, that's a lot more trouble to take on the road than a more compact "garage-rock" style organ.
