LFO man and Björk collaborator Mark Bell dies
By Aly Barchi | Published on Tuesday 14 October 2014
Mark Bell of 1990s house vanguardists LFO died last week following “complications after an operation”, his long-time label Warp has confirmed.
Having, as part of LFO, released Warp’s fifth single in the shape of 1990s eponymous single ‘LFO’, Bell later shifted primarily into production, proving a pivotal collaborator on many of Björk’s LPs, from ‘1997’s ‘Homogenic’ onwards (and including 2011’s ‘Biophilia’), and also working side-by-side with Depeche Mode on ‘Exciter’ in 2001.
The Warp statement confirming his death reads: “It’s with great sadness that we announce the untimely passing of Mark Bell of LFO who died last week from complications after an operation. Mark’s family and friends request privacy at this difficult time”.
