[@Mysterywhiteboy78]

R.I.P Tim. Your music was not of this earth.

[@bobotlaw118]

The best version of the best cardiacs tune....I'm almost moved to tears watching this......get well soon Timmy, all your fishes miss you!

[@darrenstokes3283]

I cry every time I watch this

[@michaelreid6944]

Imagine Elizabethan piano, prog, punk, new wave saxophone, brilliant lyrics, fantastic live abilities to meld all these influences and loads more. And then throw them all off a cliff, and listen as they forever collide and never reach an end, kaleidoscoping forever.

There are no words.....simply the greatest songwriter this country has ever produced.....hell, make that world.....God bless 'em Cardiacs. NO ONE comes close :)

What does it feel like to be a musician as great as each one here, playing this magnificent music that just gets into your soul and moves you? Each band member is locked in and they create magic. RIP Tim

You never get these tunes out of your head. Highly addictive music. I hear something new nearly every time I listen.

[@darrenstokes3283]

RIP Tim. You absolute genius

I saw this band in the 80s - what a show, they disturbed then...and still do, in a good way. What a talent it is to create art like this - that reaches into my soul and messes about with it. Musically so ingenious, flawlessly crafted, combined with the poetry, the theatrics - a gift.
