Fad Gadget于2002年4月3日因心脏衰竭在伦敦的家中去世。

Brief introduction

Fad Gadget was the pseudonym used by musician, synthesizer pioneer, and performance artist Frank Tovey. Almost all of his early songs create a dark, mystical atmosphere, with Gadget's voice hovering monotonously over then unheard of, groundbreaking and still brilliant synthesizer sound effects. He became Mute's first signing in 1979. He was at the forefront of the Electronic Movement of the late 1970s/early 1980s. Fad Gadget continued to experiment with many different styles, mixing Electronics with Rock, Punk, Folk and Dance Music with amazing results and is recognised as one of the most influential artist of the last twenty years.

Fad Gadget died on 3rd April 2002 at his home in London of heart failure.
