Dirty Starlight

GLOK is the electronic alter ego of Andy Bell and is currently matching pace with Andy’s prodigious output under his own name, with two albums, a clutch of singles and multiple remixes to immerse yourself in.

 

I thought I'd posted a fair bit of GLOK here already; it turns out, not so much. So, to make amends, I've cherry picked 8 tracks either by or remixed by Andy Bell to create a clumsily stitched together GLOK selection, coming in at just under an hour. 

Transformative music for travelling, even if you have no particular place to go.

Today's photo was a delve back into my archives, prompted by recollections the other day of a trip to Japan. This photo was taken one evening in May 2005, coming out of the Tokyo Metro into the madness of Shibuya, the foreground actually a criss-crossed zebra crossing, completely obscured by the surge of crossing, passing people. The riot of neon lights and signage seemed even crazier than my memory of Times Square in New York. It was an almost overwhelming experience for Mrs. K and I, all senses going into overload...at least for us. Everyone else seemed completely unfazed and indifferent to it all. 

I've played around with filters and exposure a bit, but the photo seemed to perfectly complement the title of today's selection.
