I has a feeling Mrs T would put me right, as this is a genre that slipped through my cracks. Full eulogy in Tackle Towers, with maximum respect etc., from Mrs T. I thought you should know, @Herr Tubthumper

Rough Trade’s post perfectly sums him up

“Musician, studio engineer and the mastermind behind some of rock's greatest albums. A hero to us all.”

John Robb has written an appreciation in Louder Than War.
I tried to 'share' it, but I'm a techno Moron.

Rest in peace

Shellac were great and I was due to see them in Porto this summer.

He worked on one of my favorite Manic Street Preachers albums, Journal for Plague Lovers where the band used the lyrics Richie left behind, which turned out brilliantly.
