In the current climate of violence, bombings, anti-American protest 
marches and deaths brought about by our local Muslim 
population*, who are vowing to make our country ungovernable, it 
seems incongruous to mourn the death of so pronounced a 
supporter.  But I appreciated him for his innovative and certainly 
copious output as well as his dedication.    

The first M/Gz related release I purchased was Occupied 
Territories : the double CD of remixes (because I had moral 
hiccups buying his records and thus putting money toward his 
cause) but I soon relented and got a few more of his works.  I hope 
my collection may grow.  He surely has left behind a huge legacy.
