Perhaps they should have played one of his experimental works to commemorate his passing but I wonder why The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" or "Firestarter" didn't feature when Keith Flint took his own life? Priorities at being the "coolest cat" perhaps?

Yes they should have played something from the later, experimental work, so as to make a connection with modern classical/orchestral music. Yes he was ‘cool’, but that was mostly because he foreswore his popster career for the experimental stuff, else he’d just be another 60s heritage act. And The Prodigy mean nothing to me, ah Vienna.

It's always reminded me of Siegfried. As one of Arthur Rakham's Ring illustrations is featured on the cover (of Scott 4), maybe that was in Scott's mind, too.
