Another Synth Britannia feature and interview with Daniel Miller (Mute) on The Quietus :p

Cheers D! That's a nice interview - not too sure what Miller's involvement with Mute is these days though

Oh I thought he was still the boss. :rolleyes:

Sneaky Foxx preview: youtube

What music is he playing?

Is that a posable action figure in the background?

can't believe I forgot! and missed the programme earlier, and if I hadn't looked on here before going to bed I wouldn't have known - but fortunately it's repeated in a few minutes again at 12.20am

Is it John, or is it Ludwig Van Beethoven?
and is it a Townsend Exclusive, limited to 1000 pieces only

I like the music... more please

It's on iplayer already...

I missed the first two minutes.

glad you posted when you did Birdsong!

I'm Sky+ing it now, and off to bed, and hopefully watch it tomorrow

(and I've also just set the timer for the Krautrock programme, phew, sometimes TV is just too good )

I thought it was a fairly good programme. The chronology went awry a bit at times; it hinted that Metamatic came before 'Are Friends Electric?'. I am also fairly sure they said that 'Vienna' was a hit in 1982 which is wrong.

There was also far too much time spent on Depeche Mode. OK, they did, in terms of record sales, go on to be the most successful of the electro bands but at the time they were really nothing special.

But in all, it was a good history and more or less coincided with how I remembered that time.
