Sadly, all that remains of him for me is "<i>Don't Worry, Be Happy</i>" which I'm guessing is not his usual style.

Just check these two performances (that differ hugely as far as his voice is concerned) with his band, Einstürzende Neubauten: [youtube rd-SpXJ3ops <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd-SpXJ3ops" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd-SpXJ3ops</a> youtube] [youtube pm_aut6RDAY <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm_aut6RDAY" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm_aut6RDAY</a> youtube] I'll definitely have to check out his stuff!
