Utility Fog

Sunday, 6th of February, 2005

You know it's a new year when it's actually FEBRUARY already. Feck!
Not much new in (relative to last week) tonight, but plenty of awesome stuff that's still fresh as a very fresh thing... Bunch of tracks to start with from The The, incredible project of Matt Johnson since 1980, from post-punk through to the current day. I'll play a few tracks from his first few albums, just for a picture of an amazingly creative artist working with samples and loops and weird effects yet creating some great pop music (in the most generalised interpretation of the word)...

   This sounds like it would either have been one of the Amon Tobin tracks, or otherwise End's track "Go", from a CD called Percussions, no less... Do you remember what I was talking about when I pre- or backannounced it?

   Glad you enjoyed the show :)
