‘You’ll love this,’ said my father, handing over a CD of At The Foot Of The Mountain by Eighties comeback kids a-ha . I looked at the front cover and thought to myself how odd it was to be receiving music recommendations from my parents. ‘It’s like Depeche Mode,’ he added. Though sceptical I thought I’d listen to it, you know, be charitable, and write here...
On Sat saw Phil Hartnoll from Orbital at Matter, o2. He started straight off with Halcyon :) Also did Chime; 1989?! and Doctor Who. Glad the Big Chill coerced them out of retirement. Matter is one of the better clubs; the pastoral care's great like a lift back to the station or a pre club coffee with brandy heavy on the brandy.

Fairly crafty shit, and a good way to start the week. We're still bug-hunting in Eos, but making good progress. I'm putting...
Orbital feat. Grant Fulton: 'Belfast/Wasted' (1992) Yet another oldie music video to alleviate the January boredom... This is the magnificent vocal version of Orbital 's track 'Belfast', with Gregorian chant samples and Grant Fulton as the guest singer; one of the best things the Brothers Hartnoll ever did, in fact. This track was originally released in May 1992 on #3 of Volume (1991 - 1997), a British...
