RIP William Orbit.
I first heard him through Bassomatic and Fascinating Rhythm.
Then Pieces In a Modern Style, made famous by the Ferry Corsten remix of the track Barber's Adagio For Strings.
Also Water From A Vineleaf which I have somewhere on a 90s 12" or chill out compilation cd.
plus worked with Madonna, All Saints, Blur, and many others.
Just a few weeks ago his FB page was talking about him releasing stems to an old album so people could mikx how they like (not sure what this means(

Is this the thread for podcast recommendations as well? Anyway, I enjoyed this. A tenuous OUFC connection as Denis Smith appears in episode 5. It’s an Audible production but available for free on any platform.

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Ed is the grandson of footballing legend Gordon Banks. He was a national icon, the only goalkeeper ever to win the soccer World Cup for England. But Ed’s heard a rumour: that in 1970, while defending the title, his granddad, his hero, was poisoned&...

I went to see Royal Blood at G-Live in Guildford last night. I think it was a short warm-up tour getting ready for a bigger venue capacity Autumn tour.

Very nice to see a decent band on my door step, finish at 10:20 pm and back at my local five minutes later for last orders.

Beluga Lagoon , river tunes

 

[Sarge]

Paul Heaton- Jenius (lp) .. packed full of well crafted, observational 'real life' , nothern pop ( in the real sense of the word pop) tunes.
put a smile on my face with more than a few of the clever lyrics

Anyone else go to Feastival yesterday. Basement Jaxx way exceeded my expectations. Mics were crap though. I only saw them plus White Lies. Spent the rest of the day in The Cheese Hub, some decent DJ's in there. Mrs now wants to go to Ibiza.

This may appeal to some of you https://polygon-productions.live/portal/whats-on/ Also forgot to mention i went to David Bowie You're not alone at the beginning of august, which was very enjoyable, if you have not been but are considering going my toptip would be either stand on the balcony before the stairs that go down into the Lightroom or stand or sit near the rear of the room as you will get neckache constantly looking around to see everything.

I loved the Bowie show at Lightroom, you are right about neck ache though, there is so much going on. It takes a while to take it all in, think we were in there for a couple of rotations of the show.
