The late production genius’s chaotic reputation has always preceded him. But could two new books, a posthumous album and a flurry of classic reissues change all that – and put the focus back on his music?

Re #BrewDog I feel horribly, not triumphantly, vindicated, for myself & @camraofficial.bsky.social. Early as 2009 I described them as aggressive, arrogant, outrageous but recognised their impact. In 2016 they were still credible enough for me to have to justify my criticism on Radio 4 Food Programme

A big fan of this underrated producer. Top notch wines across their range. Similarly started with their 2011. We visit when in the Mosel - they are very hospitable. Moreover we buy direst, as they will ship within mainland Europe, though we missed out on '22s.
