What's music like out there? (Or should I say out here, since I'm currently at home with my parents in a village.)
Probably totally different to when I grew up, when you were at the mercy of what was on the radio/what CDs were stocked in the local record shop (with occasional bus trips to Oxford to visit HMV and Virgin). Probably now kids out here are into exactly the same music as everywhere else.
Aphex is a shining example of a musician that probably couldn't have come from a big city. Mind you, he's from Cornwall, which is reputedly like another country of its own.
