Mystical Child

LEX LUTHER

Reflections on childhood from the adult perspective. 

The vocal was recorded on the iPhone microphone and headphones, while seated on the toilet. It was going to be a guide vocal, but I kept it as I prefer feel over quality sometimes.

It has all the imperfections of being recorded on an old iPhone headphone and mic, but that's ok, sometimes feel is more important.

This week we had more top drawer house music, techno and dnb/jungle delights. We also featured a fresh new mix from DJ RADZ with exclusive tracks included and a hot mix from DJ Jane. Following that awesomeness we had a recently converted techno mixtape from myself recorded back in 1994 (30 years ago apparently!) Thanks to the wicked guest DJ's this week and big up all listeners!!         =)

The Perfect Pitch Show With Vincent Vega - NCB Radio, 20.7.24

During the 1980s, I spent a lot of my time riding around the British Rail network, mainly chasing Class 40s and then Class 50s, but also seeing and riding behind a number of other classes.

I also made a few tape recordings at that time - many from the front window, some from the platform - using my trusty 'ghetto-blaster' or 'boom box' - and now these recordings can finally be heard 😍)

There were also many fine rail tours back in the 1980s, and it was often possible to get haulage behind your favourite class and travel over rare track at the same time, as with this tour, and all for a modest outlay of £15-20. Happy days 😍

This recording takes us back to November 1985, a few months after the demise of the class, with The Penzance Fryer which ran from Crewe to Penzance, with pioneer D200 / 40122 in charge - the only Class 40 remaining in service.

The railtour, which was run by Traintours, became rather infamous, with D200 suffering over the South Devon Banks and almost coming to a standstill on the Cornish hills! The tour started at the ungodly hour of 03.00 at Manchester Victoria, but with 45107 in charge. From memory, I joined the tour at Crewe where D200 took over 😎)

The recordings I made on the day were recorded onto a Maxell II metal tape and have lasted quite well over the last 40 years - some distortion with the loco at full power much of the time, but atmospheric all the same!

So come back in time with me to enjoy a noisy ride behind classic Class 40 D200 - hope you enjoy these sounds of the 80s. Happy Days 😎)

Track list: 
1) Start - 2m 00s we start with D200 as she struggles up Dainton Bank, between Newton Abbot and Totnes, with 10 Mk. 1s. The train can clearly be heard entering Dainton Tunnel. 
2) 2m 10s - 7m 50s D200 is now struggling even more up Rattery Bank on full throttle 😍) after leaving Totnes - the weather was foul all day and the rails were somewhat slippery! 
3) 7m 50s - 14m 05s continuing up Rattery Bank, with Wrangaton summit finally reached at 12m 15s! 
4) 14m 10s - 19m 45s now we’re on the return working, just passed Saltash and over Brunel’s finest bridge on the run into Plymouth (slightly garbled on this section) 
5) 19m 50s - 21m 15s after a short scheduled stop at Plymouth, the station staff attempt to get the train moving again 😍)
 6) 21m 20s - 26m 20s finally we depart Plymouth, and whistle through the suburbs before getting signal stopped. 
7) 26m 25s - 27m 35s after the signal stop, the train continues east heading for the infamous Hemerdon Bank!
8) 27m 35s - 30m 35s D200 with a standing start at the foot of Hemerdon Bank! 
9) 30m 40s - 35m 30s D200 continues on full power up Hemerdon Bank 😍) 
10) 35m 30s - 35m 50s a quick snatch of D200 giving a blast under the station roof at Bristol Temple Meads on the run-round 
11) 35m 55s - 38m 45s we now depart Bristol Temple Meads heading north for Birmingham. 
12) 38m 45s - 43m 40s and as a suitable finale, we hear D200 at Bromsgrove again performing a standing start on the attack of the famous Lickey Incline!

Railtour Memories - D200 on 1Z25 "The Penzance Fryer" - Crewe to Penzance (9th Nov 1985)

Been into rock and indie music since the 1970s. Went to many gigs in the 1980s when a student. Fewer in recent years - highlights include The Smiths at Kingston Poly in 1983 (for 50p!), Iggy Pop + Suicide at Hammersmith in 2010, Iggy Pop again at the Royal Albert Hall in 2016. Long-time fan of John Peel (some original recordings on SoundCloud 😎) Also interested in railways and aviation with some unique recordings from the 70s & 80s also up on SoundCloud 😃

Vincent became interested in mixing/DJing back in the 80s when he first heard a street sounds hip hop electro album and wondered how they managed to join the individual tracks up so seamlessly.

Having collected vinyl his whole life he bought a mixer in 1989 (no easy thing in Cornwall back then) and started trying to beat match on his father’s turntables.

Vincent got his own Technics 1210s mk2 in the early 90s and after some practice, he was soon playing house, hardcore and techno at parties across the Southwest under the name of DJ Cutting Edge.

Jungle and Drum and Bass seemed to be the next step. After listening to LTJ Bukem’s first essential mix in 1995 he really started to follow the Intelligent Drum and Bass sound.

Today, and now a DMC competitor and tutor, Vincent can be found playing Liquid and Liquid Funk tunes, delighting crowds across the Southwest with some nice a-men break business and sweet turntablism out of love for the old school. From time to time he can be found dropping a Jungle set somewhere in Cornwall as well performing at various House and Hip Hop events.
