Mike Oldfield - Music of the Spheres

hhhmmm, perhaps, but I personally think it sits just nicely as released and with all the different collaborators and artists that took part on the recording - a much better reflection and take on what the album was trying to achieve with the millennium celebrations.

I've tried to get into this, but can't. It just doesn't 'do it' for me I'm afraid. Back to Amarok...

Rob

Amarok is one of his best. A work of sheer genius. Or madness

Definitely genius...

The madness is only apparent when you realise that there aren't any PQ points and the track is an hour long!

Rob

Still waiting for 'A New Kind of Man' (tick-tock-tick-tock...) so it's Geir Jenssen – ‘Cho Oyu 8201m: Field Recordings from Tibet’ this afternoon.

A real 'foot-tapper'...

Rob

Heh! Yeah! It's that cow-bell sound - gets me dancing every time

Or when you read the list of "instruments"!

Dirty Shinobi - Dub Terror x A-Miti

A lethal x-breed production by two of London's finest underground explorers. Crossing heavy Dubstep/Grime/Garage sound-scapes with exclusive visual production input between KARBORN and DUBTERROR. The video is a live VJ mashup mix, assembled and cut to the track by KARBORN. Audio production by DUBTERROR. The bass will make your 8-bit soul shake. Video game nostalgia distorted and bristling with grime. Smoothed through rolling basslines and contrasts leaving everything broken and spent. It's the artful dodger slamming through shinobi in broken pixels, praying to a degenerate saviour to lift you out of the bass-ments.

Quite brilliant mix exploring the deep roots of the relationship between reggae and electronica
