I learned of his untimely passing. With the Pop Group, I always found it a bit difficult to listen, finding their musical proposal a bit too random, despite being original. I prefer their solo works, the first with the Maffia featuring a sound that is still today truly astonishing, and the second "As The Veneer of..." being creatively "cabaretvoltairian."

A character that is nothing short of controversial and unsettling. Honestly, I haven't paid much attention to Psychic TV, but Throbbing Gristle were quite something, even if perhaps more from a conceptual standpoint than strictly musical; Genesis's contribution was certainly more in the former aspect. Anything that is considered transgressive in the rock scene becomes a mere pose compared to what this man (or woman) has done. Safe travels.

As far as I got to know him within the D.A.F. project, as a singer he was perhaps the best heir/student of Alan Vega: an artist capable of acting with his voice and giving expression to the piece, going beyond the literal meaning of the words. The fact that he achieved international fame by bravely choosing to sing in the challenging German language is further proof of his talent. Rest in peace, Andaluso della Ruhr. Für immer.

Eccentric and charming, for me they are definitely better than XTC, maybe because Bid as a singer outshines Partridge and Moulding.

An excellent contraceptive method that, however, can disrupt the menstrual cycle and reduce a woman's sexual desire, as well as diminish sensitivity for both partners during intercourse.

Four reasons: 1) They created the cultural and music scene that allowed essential bands to form and become known. 2) "Never Mind The Bollocks" isn't that bad after all. 3) Unlike the Clash, they had the good taste to get out of the way right away.

Overrated in Italy because they are Catholic.

Fortunately, we instead had Fanfani, Craxi, De Mita, and Andreotti.
