R.I.P. Nash the Slash

I don't know if Nash was on many PA radar screens, but the guy was amazing!  Check out his video in this story & please provide your own thoughts. 

Yes, quite sad, an electronic music pioneer. It is certainly odd he doesn't have an entry in prograrchives. I'll have to work on that if nobody else will. Most people know of his work with FM, but his four solo albums Bedside Companion, Dreams and Nightmares, Decomposing, and Children of the Night are reminiscent of Tangerine Dream/Klaus Schulze of the 1970s.

Sad that it was the record companies and file sharing that made him retire from music. Such a talent. I remember Black Noise fondly.

Nash the Slash was a pretty badass persona as well.

I always admired his style/persona. Never understood it, but I loved it. Black Noise is one of my favorite albums. That record has probably more play than any other. If I wanted a meditative soundtrack to do homework to, that was my choice. If I just felt like a remarkable, fun spacey prog album, there it was. 

ironically he left FM because felt their music was going into less progressive commercial direction, but his solo albums were far more commerical than FM's Surveillance and City of Fear with mandolinist/violence Ben Mink.
