Just gutted about Dave Ball. When I was working on my Soft Cell book he was unbelievably generous, a warm and mischievous and outrageously funny interviewee. My book would have a fraction of the quality were it not for his help.

Making music is a wonderful thing, sometimes you get to do things you never dreamed possible. Iin 2008 I remixed 'Youth' from Soft Cell's 'Non Stop Erotic Cabaret' an album I bought as a teenager. It's one of my productions I am proudest of. Dave Ball was a huge inspiration, he will be missed.

We are so sad to hear that Dave Ball, the keyboard genius of Soft Cell, has died. He was an electronic pop pioneer and with Marc Almond made a unique catalogue of songs, completely original in sound and content. Our love and condolences go to Marc and all those close to Dave. Neil and Chris xx

'The Top of the Wolds.' (c1900) Looking over a collection of works by Alfred East, there's a real sense of him being in the landscape, an adventurer making images, recording centuries of traditions. He wrote: 'if you know nature, you will be always be able to tell something new.'
