Sad news. If I decide to investigate his stuff, is any of his material a little more "accessible" than other, or is it mostly drone/ambient noodlings?

He didn't do noodlng or drones, just beautiful piano pieces, that are distilled to the very essence... the best point of entry is probably his masterpiece collaboration with Brian Eno, "The Pearl"

"The Pearl" is an absolute classic.

Jon, check also "The White Arcades" and "Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror", also with Brian Eno.
