It Goes That Way

Actually, no, the Tube train you're on actually is going this way, despite what we told you, so could you please get off here and wait with the other 200 people on the crowded platform, while we get our act together. Sorry about that.

Idiots. My three-year-old could do better.

I finished the WtSiT that was broadcast last week, so can now concentrate on last night's broadcast, which I had to miss due to lack of sleep (but downloaded). Another superb show; the 10-minute rap piece was superb. Very interesting, musically, even if I couldn't really make out a lot of the gist of the story. I really hope 'Where's The Skill In That?' is reaching a wide audience, because it's very difficult to find music of this quality and eclecticism served up to you on a plate.

On the back of some 'Mixing It' memories, a re-visit to Laurie Anderson for the rest of the journey:

Excellent Birds, from Mister Heartbreak, with Peter Gabriel. A different version of which can be found on 'So',
Sharkey's Day - MH,
Walking & Falling, from Big Science,
Slip Away, from Life On a String. About the death of her father; just beautiful,
From The Air - BS. Very funny,
Here With You - LoaS,
Statue of Liberty - LoaS,
Dark Angel, LoaS,
Gravity's Angel - MH,
It Tango - BS

This final track reminded me of 'Epsilon Indi', an Italian band from the 90's/early 00's headed by Sergio De Vito, based in Rome. To my knowledge they no longer record under that name, although I think many of them still make music. I have four records: 'A Distant Return', 'The Stolen Silence', the very Limited Edition 'Tra Terra e Mare' and 'Crystal Soup'. I think there's at least one other, but I haven't found it yet. Excellent - Jazz/New Age/Prog/Fusion music, although 'Crystal Soup' is a bit too New Age for me...

Anyway, 'Urquhart/An Apparent Stillness-The Uman Disaster' from 'Stolen Silence' samples 'It Tango' to great effect, breaking down and re-building the 'She said it takes one to know one' line, and it always makes me smile.

She said
She said it takes
She said it takes one two
She said it takes one to know one
She said it
She said it to no-one
