So the other night I went to see Dan Tucceri performing at the piano in the Carringbush Hotel again and one of the bonuses is that sometimes Dan tells a tale about the performer or the piece that he is playing. 
Now my knowledge of classical music is not so hot and so I only learnt the other night (when Dan was performing Dubussy's Pegodes and it kept reminding me of Merry Christmas Mr lawrence / Forbidden Colours) of the influence of Asian music on Debussy and his influence on Ryuichi Sakamoto. As Sakamoto said:

Speeding Lights Mix

Been feeling sluggish so needed a get up and go selection of motorik beats

Gareth Sager & The Hungry Ghosts - St. Jock / Disco Sofa

If like me you think Gareth really is a bit of a genius (even if Steve Beresford DID hit the mark when he said anonymously in an NME article that sometimes you just wanted to give him a good spanking) then check out these great mixes by Jonder over at Nothin' Sez Somethin' of his work that isn't quite so well known as The Pop Group and Rip Rig and Panic

Pressure Drop 1 & 2 (The world's first reggae fanzine)

Published in 1975 and 1976
Edited by Nick Kimberley and Penny Reel with assistance from Chris Lane. I used to have these a l o n g time ago, the only two issues that were published, although Chris Lane says here

We were going to do a third one because we all agreed at the time that 1972 had been such a classic year for reggae. We were going to do a 1972 edition of Pressure Drop and write it as though it was actually 1972: “Look at this great record from Glen Brown, Merry Up. It’s like nothing you’ve ever heard before”. Of course we never got round to it but Nick knew someone at Pluto Press and we actually signed a contract and got paid a very small advance to write this book about reggae. It was going to be the history of reggae and I remember at the time that I even did a thing about dub and how dubs are mixed, the track layouts, why the Studio One dubs on the albums sound the way they do because they come from 2-track tape, how the Tubby’s dubs sound the way they do because they’re using 4-track tape, and the Channel One’s…
My BIG thanks to Nigel for passing them along
