Sad news that another retro legend has passed away - Ben Daglish

More sad news I'm afraid. The music legend that was Ben Daglish has passed away.

The music on Auf Wiedersehen Monty was just superb.

Another hero of our youth leaves to eternity... And 52 years is much too early. :(

Yes, I was stunned when I read this. Very sad news and way too young.

Read about his passing last night. Upsetting news, another legend. His music is there for all of us to enjoy.

After reading this news, I loaded o bunch of his games to listen to the music again while working. I can say that listening to them one after another, you can quickly appreciate how different they sound, even on the AY (and don't let me start about Dark Fusion's 48k marvel), how perfect they fit into the game.

Really sad news. He will be sorely missed by us all, his composition record was exceptional in both quality and quantity. RIP Ben.
