RIP Martin Cooper / Asia 2001

This is a sad day for the Goa communictyl Gilbert Thevenet aka Martin Cooper, the pioneer behind the legendary band Asia 2001 passed away yesterday.

This is the first time an artist we've been working with goes to Goa heaven and we're deeply sad.

Last time I had him over the phone was about 5 years ago, around the time we reissued Psykadelia. He had serious health issues, but still manageable at the time.

We feel very sorry for his family and relatives. RIP.
