Off Topic RIP Keith Flint

[Red Hadron Collider]

Shame he died, but not really a loss to music, seeing as they'd been split up since 1991.

That and the fact they were forgettable generic 80s synth pop.

I'd suggest you look at the critical acclaim they received, particularly for later albums like Spirit of Eden. About as far away from 'forgettable generic 80s synth pop' as you could get. Hollis retired after a couple of solo albums to concentrate on his family. He influenced a wide spectrum of musicians.

A ****ing unholy din. Shame about his death, but Mark Hollis of Talk Talk died last week and that's a greater loss to music.

Yeah that was...such a shame

Remember "Charly" - "Charly says always tell your mother before you go out somewhere"

I liked the way their albums always had a certain feel to them. Charly Outer Space were just pure old school rave. Their Law, No Good, One Love, Voodoo People all belonged together with an almost tribalistic feel. I remember endlessly listening to Voodoo People. Then you moved to Fat of the Land with Firestarter, Breathe, Smack My Bitch Up were so in sync. They just had a way of hooking you in to what was big for them at the time.

Let all your E's be Rolls Royces people (Mitsubishi's and Pink Elephants are acceptable though)

Yep gilted generation was my fav also loved fat of the land. I was less into the later more rocky sounding stuff but appreciated that they were continuing to innovate.

Harsh I must admit I really liked a couple of their tunes like Life is What You Make It and Its My Life. I don't think we can really say who is a bigger loss. Like most things in life, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One mans unholy din, is another mans symphony.
