The leader and singer of british synth pop stars Talk Talk, Mark Hollis has died. Guardian published the nicest obituary: "He was an artist with a completely singular and uncompromising musical vision that would eventually spawn an entire musical sub-genre... The music mapped out a new territory somewhere between avant-garde rock, jazz, modern classical and ambient, an intersection that would subsequently be dubbed post-rock".
