This is sad beyond words. I didn't know him as well as some of you guys did but he always struck me as a very nice guy who was seeking consesus rather than confrontation. A lot of users didn't get along on this forum but I could hardly imagine anyone not getting along with him.
A few years ago I posted a disturbing drawing of mine, which I made when I was still a child (I think it was called "Post Yr Childhood Drawings" or something like that). I originally intended it to have a self-deprecating comedic effect but Adam seemed to be really into it and baffled me by wanting to use it as an album cover. I was both flattered and confused. I granted him my permission but for some reason I didn't take the offer all too seriously, why would anyone use this piece of shit drawing as an album cover?
So it came to be that only last year I noticed that he actually stuck with the idea. The album in question was "Psychic Existentialism". This baffled me even more but at the same time I was intrigued.
I just had to listen to some of his stuff. His music was unconventional to say the least. He just did his own thing and reached a new level of unique by doing so. Both his music and his presentation had an air of the surreal and I applauded him for that. Not many people dare to be weird. Adam did, wholeheartedly! And from the things I've read he was very modest about it. He seemed like a guy that did amazing things but wouldn't shy away from laying back and having a beer with you.
Rest In Peace Adam!
