Prog Chill Out

The only thing I have to watch for is to make sure they actually 'fit' into the set, that I can mix into them & back out again with no-one noticing... Good old favorites for this: Floyd: Shine On Crazy Diamond Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun Steve Hillage: Afterglid Black Sabbath (really!!): Planet Caravan Porcupine Tree: Voyage 34 (fantastic chillout album in its own right) It also helps having all The Orb's remixes of classic Floyd albums (Animals & Division Bell work particularly well) I like your style, Jim. You're basically 'progging' people through the back door; subliminally introducing them to a new way of feeling about music. Plus, you've caught them at their most vuneralble and suggestable, when most of them are probably off their mash on God knows what drugs.. Keep up the good work sir. We shall have our day!

The 'good work' continues - stand by for a little shameless self-promotion :





That's me, bottom right "DaRabbi"

So... if anyone is in the Bristol area on 11th February, fancies a bit of a froog to the best the 21st century has to offer in the way of Psy-Trance, check this night out - come to the chill room around 3am & who knows what I'll drop into the set.... , maybe 'Thraak' - that'll wake the buggers up!

I forgot to mention one track that has to be there - "Who knows where the time goes" by Fairport Convention.
