    JG Ballard "Cocaine Nights"

    Well, there's the aforementioned Crystal World (Woebot's silly one) and The Drought and some incredible short story collections which are now compiled as the Complete Short Stories and this contains some really fantastic work... Of the 70's stuff - Atrocity Exhibition has to be read (by far his...

    JG Ballard "Cocaine Nights"

    60's and 70's just incredible- they all read like surrealist paintings rather than novels and, like burroughs, i feel he has had more of an influence on music than anything else- i'm not blown away by the recent stuff as i dislike the hints of morality but agreed, still better than averything...

    George Melly dead

    what a very great shame- hedonistic without rock star silliness, witty, erudite and an enormous authority on surrealism to boot- a genuine british eccentric- peace out.

    Modern d'n'b is rubbish - tune ID and a moan from an old man

    yeah i liked it alot- it has the spark of something of a decade ago but with a sheen of now- parallel universe old skool. and kind of baffling that it should be Goldie to produce something so cool at this stage of the game but maybe his vanishing from the limelight has removed any pressure to...

    Modern d'n'b is rubbish - tune ID and a moan from an old man

    yeah- it went shit a long time ago and as far as i can see, the name change from jungle to d'n'b was the immediate sign that things were fucking up- after all, it was an engineer's music if you like and the move from a metaphorical title to an instrumental label (ie, drums and bass) signified...
