First memory of him for me was off the Trainspotting movie/soundtrack. "Perfect Day" and perfect song for that movie and opened the door to his music. Through him I really submerged myself into the mid 70's Bowie and Iggy Pop work. Just a huge influence on my musical tastes. Cheers Lou and RIP.

He may not have been, but we regularly listened to Transformer on away trips in the 70s.

More upset by this news than by the match result. Transformer and Berlin were two of the defining albums of my student days. I first heard the Velvets early stuff thanks to a fellow Mancunian student and was knocked out by it. He got lots of things wrong (Metal Machine Music anyone?) but when he got it right it was some of the most awesome music ever recorded. RIP Louis and thanks for everything.
