Just got hold of “Rifts”, I’m late to this stuff as ever – particularly love the Juno-60 arpeggiated loveliness of “Russian Mind”.

Just want to tell everyone about this, it makes me hysterical with joy. (via Russell Davies).

Also been meaning to mention his prescient quote, also from “Connections” (made in 1978) sampled in Robert Rental’s grimy minimal-synth cassette demo “Mental Detentions” (from 1979):

See, we’re on the edge of a revolution in communications technology that is going to make that [access to information] more possible than ever before. Or, if that’s not done, to cause an explosion of knowledge that will leave those of us who don’t have access to it, as powerless as if we were deaf, dumb and blind.

Via Astro Unicorn Radio on IFM, footworking brutality from RP Boo. Can’t say I’m keen on “Ice Cream” or “Come on Baby”, but “Eraser” is also really fucking odd. Also worth checking the interview on It’s After The End Of The World.
