On a sad day when Scotland voted NO for independence,and YES to the New World Order; I couldn't think of a Scottish band to post;but you can recheck The Prats and He's Dead Jim, 'cus they're good.
So here's another Chris Cutler group on
Recommended Records instead( with Fred Frith, and Dagmar Krause).
I was first drawn to them because they were on
Ralph Records. Don't really have anything to say about this, except
that it is the ambient reflection of the minds of the chin stroking
types in 'Art' galleries; elitist, soul-less, cold, humourless, and
intellectually intimidating. Pop this on when you want to appear
'Intellectual' to stupid people. Yes, a tad pretentious, but a
cracking piece of work that wouldn't be out of place given an airing
in some damp fusty crypt, or as a soundtrack to a funeral full of
people the departed participant didn't like.
Tracklist:
| A1 | The Bath Of Stars | |
| A2 | First Things First | |
| A3 | Gold | |
| A4 | The Summer Wheel | |
| A5 | The Slave | |

A sad day indeed. As an ex-pat Scotsman denied a vote I consider it a national disgrace. Thanks for the gloomy music JZ, most appropriate right now.
Yep,Scotland missed an opportunity to create a new direction, with a new credit based currency,accountable government, and to put people first before money. They also let down every other absorbed peoples who saw this as a chance for independence, like Corsica etc....now they have zero chance. Instead its a vote for Globalisation and the NWO!?....don't understand it...it was fear that won the day. Sorry mate,especially at being disenfranchised because you live outside of Scotland.
I think you nailed it JZ, fear. I know with the next post you'll be veering away from RIO-land, but before you do, might you have an ep called The Last Nightingale? It was released in support of a minor's strike in 1984-85. Your comment here reminds me of a line from one of the songs - something along the lines of 'the more it takes, the more the mass moves back.' Can't wait to see the promised greater power and autonomy is coming Scotland's way. Doubt any of us will live to see it.
