Anybody who’s still reading this blog will know that this year has been a bad one for musical death, and that it’s affected me quite badly. The most shocking news this year is the death of Eddie Bo, whose track “Hook and Sling” is the equivalent of a Force-10 hurricane in your feeble musical climate.1 Unfortunately he never recorded anything else higher than Force-8, but that’s still pretty badass, right? He had a good run and his life in music is celebrated at the ineffable 16 Corners blog, with a run of great tracks and mixes to download, and complete background on the man.
UPDATE: Actually, “Check your Bucket” was also Force-10. If Kieran Wyatt is reading this, it’s Not Jazz.
- Where Force-12 is Dyke and the Blazers remixed by the Prodigy IN MY DREAMS and Force-1 is the solo career of any member of Boyzone. [↩]
