Then I should think the last one (No More Technology) was right up your alley — it even has Neil (the hippy from The Young Ones) complaining about the music in it 😉.

All messing about aside, however, you’ll notice that, long before the end … right from the very start in fact … things had gone full circle and started turning decidedly psychedelic — Eat Static were at in the early/mid ’90s already … ‘Goa’ trance hit the scene in the late ’90s/early ‘00s … Psytrance was in full swing by the mid/late ’00s.

And although, as I’ve mentioned before, there were those whose approach to P.L.U.R. was a bit hippyish and laid on a bit thick (almost like they were cultural cargo cultists) … all you had to do was nod and smile, act like you were too far gone for coherent communication, and they mostly stopped bothering you unduly.

The Joplin, not a bad track at all — cut up, resampled, some beats and pads layered over it, and you’d have a pretty decent chillout mix ¹.

But it’s not something you could get a stomp on to in the main room, is it?

Not unless you were on the best drugs ever created and could pound away to absolutely anything

I think one thing we can agree on though is that your grandkids have absolutely no taste in music.

Justin Bieber!?

Jesus wept!

Anyway … hope you enjoyed the B.A. Robertson — no matter what it is, if we can’t laugh at a good joke about ourselves, we’re finished …

Fortunately for my generation, there was no way to take ourselves seriously in the first place anyway …


¹ Not altogether unakin to Vera Lynn, in fact:

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live and too rare to die.
