Metamatic Forums Links and Connections Louis Gordon Tell Your Mum I Saved Your Life

Got this CD as Christmas present and it is very good indeed, especially Water and Goodbye Johnny Ball.
GBJB is excellent electronic music that lasts for over 20 minutes.
Also the hidden track is very funny but it works too, as it is a ragtime cover version of Kraftwerk's Neon Lights.

Recommended!

Emilio,thank you for letting me hear the "Neon Lights" coverat new year,an absolute 'Classic!' superb version.
Will need to buy this myself now,loved it all

Louis has (at least) two songs now namechecking the great Johnny Ball.

What's that all about??

A childhood friend of his, so I've been told.

Liked the first track on the ep Those Arps.

I'm sure he has more tracks stored on his hard-drive so I'll be looking forward to his next release.

Come on Louie a full album next time round! :p

Giving this album a spin again right now
Loved Louis reaction when we asked him about Neon lights...
"Is that really on there??,shite,I must have been pissed when I put that together!!"

What, not the science'ish dad of Zoe, surely.

British thing Maryann,
Johhny Ball was a scientist typey person,great with Numbers and a very sharp thinker.
His daughter,Zoe, went on to present tv music shows and the like.

BTW Johnny Ball was rector at Glasgow Uni when I started working there,and a very nice man he was/is indeed

Oh, so she swam in a different gene pool, eh?

Lets put it this way....
Johhny Ball was a 'hero' to most of us growing up in the UK during the late '80's early'90's
his daughter is NOT an ugly girl, around the same age as most of us who grew up with her father on TV,so the lust factor kicks in ...men!! EH!??

Personaly JB is a really nice man,met him twice when I worked for Glasgow Uni,but Zoe comes acros to me as a prat!!

I fail to see the correlation and/or relevance of her physical appearance and her failure to follow in her father's footsteps regarding a career in science.

I may start a new campaign 'Johnny Ball as the next Dr Who'.

Sorry Maryann,that didn't come across as I ment.
Johhny Ball was your typical goofy guy,and he DID present TV shows,thats what I ment by we all grew up with him...he used to present programmes like "Think of a Number",math and science type progs.
His daughter was a nice looking girl(Thats superficial I know,thats why I said "Men!! Eh!"
But she went on to present kids "pop" shows ect.
Errm! ..am I digging myself an even bigger hole here??
