Rob Deacon has died aged 42 in a canoeing accident. The Guardian has Rob's obituary today:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,,2187245,00.html "Who's he then?" you might ask. Abstract Magazine? Sweatbox Records? "Volume"? "Trance Europe Express"? "Trance Atlantic Express"? (You know - the one with all that Detroit Techno on it) I owned something from nearly every incarnation Rob had a hand in. While I never knew who he was, he had a huge influence on my musical taste for a good 10 years or more, without me even knowing it. His own musical taste evolution clearly followed my own - brothers in timeline, as it were. R.I.P. Rob. Thanks for all the music.. - Greg
