Andrew Read & Anthony Child - Guitar Treatment Pt. 7

Feels like a long time ago, listening to this, and thinking about the time when this record was sent to me, as I was sharing vinyl and had my music on one side. Always a strong release, a timeless cracker, time keeps on moving, as we always knew, my time don't stick, but the music we made and shared back then, was sometimes sticky!

Aardvarck - 1990

Sounding incredibly retro, lush pads not distant (in melody) to Octave One - I believe. Loving the full sythn and percussoin, reminding me of how good they were back in 1990, almost an R&S classic.  Great work. 

James Leyland Kirby on Apollo Records - Soon

Nice to start the new year in a new space. My sparing partner James Leyland Kirby is doing just so, by spreading audio light, onto the Apollo Record Label, the quieter sister label of R & S Records. It´s impossible to say, how important both these labels were to us at V/Vm Test Records back in the day, the influence of those advanced Belgium classics, and our man Acid Alan drove, drives and has driven, deep into our Mancunian souls. Wonderful news, at the start of the year, completing a voyage that started a long time ago. Keep an eye out for the release and follow the link for more!! http://www.junodownload.com/plus/2014/01/07/leyland-kirby-surfaces-on-apollo/
Summer is here, hot in the City. Eating very well, thinking about dance in Montreal and SFrisco. Last year of the 30, birthday most days. Loving it!!!

Friends of Dean Martinez - Wichita Lineman - Summer is here!!!

Amazingly we have snow on the Sierra, it really has been quite the longest Spring I recall, a glorious Spring lacking in work, but full of flower. So much dance too, and now it really is Summer Time, and it feels like my time to ride off into the Sunset as ever. First Alcazaba for 4 weeks, its just the highest mountain village in Spain, very little signal that side, but plenty of entertainment. Later Vitoria-Gasteiz, for a feed and monster descanso, 3 weeks of Fishing, camping frolic. Afterwards, a short skip and hop to England, old London Town, Manchester, topped off with a postre of Canada and San Francisco, ARRRRGh, dancing and Swinging for sure. More than a mouthful that lot, so to settle it all down, I am getting on well with this super chill version of Wichita Lineman. The Friends of Dean Martinez, are a friend of mine...See you on top of a mountain or just Swinging under the Golden Gate Bridge, on the Summer Breeze, yes please. ARRRRGH!!! .
