Just read the very sad news, that Petr Muk (Oceán) has died on May 24th, 2010.
Muk founded Oceán back in the Mid-80es and they even supported Erasure in 1989/1990 + were well known in the Czech Repuplic among the synthpopfans with their sound obviously being influenced by Depeche Mode and the already mentioned Erasure. In the early 90es Oceán split, leaving him to form Shalom. After a couple of albums, Petr Muk went solo, although his songs went a bit more into the slow pop / musical direction, he never forgot his influences, releasing a tribute to Erasure album 'Oh L'Amour' in 2004. Just a couple of days ago, his brandnew album was released when the sad news of his death hit the airwaves/websites. Petr Muk was just 45 years old... (a report in German can be found here)
