I am deeply saddened to hear that my good friend Manuel Göttsching has passed away. I first met Manuel in 1977 when we became label-mates at Virgin Records, and Miquette and I met up with him several times at our concerts in Berlin. He came and stayed with us for a few days in the UK in 1980, and I remember having deep discussions with him about the future of music and technology. He was a truly innovative artist and a great guitarist. We discussed at some stage making an album together, but tragically this won’t happen now. I have great memories of various gigs we have done with Manuel in Japan, including performing “Innovations” with him in 2010. I should also mention that a shared appreciation for his work helped inspire our System 7 collaborations with Detroit artists like Derrick May. And it was through Manuel’s invitation that we first went to Berghain in Berlin, for his E2-E4 25th anniversary performance in 2006. Please rest in Cosmic Peace Manuel. ♥️♥️♥️
