Rob Deacon, probably best known as the man behind the Volume and Trance Europe Express CD's in the 90's died in a canoeing accident..

Rob also worked for Third Mind records in the early 80's before starting his own label Sweatbox releasing early records by In The Nursery, Meat Beat Manifesto and Ultramarine...

Goddamn that's a shame. I loved the Volume series, still have most of the early issues around; at the time it was the handiest way to actually *hear* what all the press hypes were in MM and the like. Also where I first heard Pulp.

he put together the legendary abstract magazine comp from 1985. okay, maybe it isn't legendary, but it SHOULD be:

A1 Test Dept. Fuel Foundation Of The Nation
A2 Wolfgang Press, The Fire Eater
A3 400 Blows Fire And Water
A4 Swans Sealed In Skin
A5 Cindytalk Playtime
B1 Colourbox Manic
B2 Gene Loves Jezebel Flame
B3 And Also The Trees Maps In Her Wrists And Arms
B4 Nyam Nyam This Is The Place
B5 Jazz Butcher, The Leaving It Up To You
