A snapshot of "entertainment" on a Saturday night in an English "new town"; in this case Harlow. Crap beer, crap nightclub music, crap atmosphere but so bad that it was good ... and, sad to say, the highlight of the evening was a post-club doner kebab and a melancholy stagger to kip on someone's sofa.... happy days since sick avoided!

2000s - finally onto DAWs & xmachines & budget soft/hard synthesis & quirkiness in the Hikari Monos......Cakewalk>Sonar>Logic
