Unplanned journeys through an urban landscape, in which participants abandon any sense of purpose and "let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there".

The Skylark Of Space

I can't sing, I can't play the guitar all that well either, so I thought I'd do both.

First in a likely new strand of stuff involving actual songs. With 'singing'. Who expected that?

(nb: the first thing you hear is Theziz from Pulse Music Group on YouTube reviewing the drum sounds I used)

Some Of Us Are Dead

This is a mix of TCR label classics and other breakbeat gems

The Tripping Forecast by Longwave

It's 1989 and you've taken a pill in a club; it gets too much & you wander into the chill out room & the DJ is playing a super mellow set of Radio 4 classics.

Longwave is mostly Rob Manuel. With thanks to David Ault & Chris Barker. Sample list on Google docs: https://bit.ly/Longwavesamples

If you want to download it - Soundcloud have limited downloads to 100 - boo - but we've uploaded it to the Internet Archive - so use that to make CDs or fill up one side of a C90 for your Walkman.

The Tripping Forecast

Little minimalist experiment… first of a few, possibly.

Finding It …

When I was a young lad I made a few records, none of which you're likely to have heard. I've stopped making music now because there seems to be plenty of music around anyway, and a fair proportion of it's better than the stuff I'd do. I've posted a few sets of old demos that never saw the light of day here for fun really, and so I can throw the cassettes away and make some room.

Finding It …
