Music for the Jilted Generation is one of the best electronic albums I've ever heard. Not sure how much Keith contributed to that particular album (at the time I think it was mainly Liam Howlett's project) but certainly Fat of the Land is a seminal electronic album as well, and Keith was a very visible part of that act.

spent my early days locked up in my room learning C to this album. it's light on lyrics which makes it (for me) perfect for development work. later his music helped me stay motivated and push my personal limits when running. "Breathe" [1] was on my ipod when I crossed the finish line of my first marathon.

some years later I was lucky to see them live on their Omen tour ... incredible on stage performance.

so much of their music helped me get over things and stay on track. I respect his choice which is as good as any way to exit this fucking world. Still I'm devastated.

Keith was a big part of the live shows for the Jilted Generation tour. he also appears on the music videos for "No Good" and "Poison" IIRC.
