got no idea if it's applicable to everywhere in the southern england countryside but there's a particular soundworld in oxfordshire. it's so fucking quiet. you hear the noise of leaves blowing about in trees more than car noise. at night you hear individual cars rather than the omnipresent background noise of traffic. it's really distinct. you hear them moving one by one. once again notice round here that almost every time you hear tunes coming out a car or otherwise being played in a public place like that it's drum and bass or associated. i heard flowdan on what sounded like a garage tune coming off a new build under construction housing estate the other day.
