RIP Werner Voran aka The Lolly Pope

All readers! a few days ago I  knew a very sad news. The Lolly Pope, creator of Prae Kraut Pandaemonium, and Tommyknockers, there is no more the a few days ago I learned from a dear friend this sad news, and told me that he had suffered an attack of heart two weeks ago, even at 60! really a blow.  
He knew the beat scene like no other German and English. We will miss him, as we will miss his compilations.
