    I remember many late nights at LFO gigs, always something special. His work with Bjork was also top class.

    Great tunes and good times RIP mark.

    RIP Mark Bell, it was a pleasure to catch LFO live at Life festival this year and the subsequent Bjork tours at the Picnic in 2013 and 2007, will sadly be missed.

    A big loss to electronic music. RIP


    The strange thing is when my alarm went off yesterday morning and I tried to turn it off while half asleep I somehow ended up accidently turning on the LFO song Premacy, the first song off their Sheath album.

    I just got really confused and wondered how that happened and then decided it would be a gorgeous song to wake up to every morning so I changed my alarm song to that there and then and went back to sleep to snooze.

    It was only a few hours later that I heard he had died. Mad coincidence.

    This tune is a world away from the typical LFO / solo output, but it's the first tune I threw on when I read that he had died.

    Ethereal stuff:

    Yeah pretty shocked to hear this on Monday. Naturally I had to play LFO 'Frequencies' non-stop on Tuesday - such a classic album. One that always jumps to mind for me when I think of Mark Bell is his Speedjack project and in particular 'Storm'... it featured on a Justin Robertson mix I had around '95 and it took a while to finally get an ID. Anyway... we are obviously going to see more legends pass as the years push on!

    RIP Mark Bell - you certainly did make a massive contribution to electronic music.
