  Views on the posthumous album then? It's a little silky in places and overly so, nevertheless it's a fitting end to the great man.

  I have so many happy memories of sitting crossed legged and mesmorized while you did the warm up at Sheffield Uni gigs in the e1970s. Later your music rocked Brighton. You are sadly missed, but remembered with every song.

  Hello, you are warmly invited to glue and expand the 'pataphysics group. The seams suggest that the group rates you very highly as I'm sure you do too.
