I know I'm a little late, but I had taken a more extensive dive into Gang of Four around the middle of last year after a long time of having only really heard the first couple of albums & Return the Gift. There are a couple of hidden gems in the rest of their catalog, one of which being the song "Second Life" they did in '08 with the original lineup, which was apparently supposed to evolve into a full album and god I wish it did because that song fucking slaps.

in any case, RIP Andy
