... to master.) First activity was Canoeing, which I had never done before. We were floating down the Orb river, in the fine weather. I was sharing a canoe with the Smallest Space Cadet of Them All, which was a wonderful experience, but I have to say that my love affair with canoeing was short-lived, as I fell out going down a sluice gate and smashed my front tooth. Never mind, it was a nice day in...

Ricotta, Honey, Figs and Form (Ideas in Food)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:13:26 GMT

... is OK. Very much of its time – a sort of ambient-tribal-dub techno existing somewhere between the Orb, the Advent and Global Communication. Enjoyable, but not essential.

I was a sort of “didg for hire” from around 1996 (for psytrance,...

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 00:43:18 GMT
