Clarity

Just over a month since wishing Richard Norris a happy birthday and hinting at a follow-up selection, here it is, all fifty seven and a half minutes of loveliness for a Sunday.

 

The forecast was for nothing but rain but instead the sun is streaming through the windows, with clear blue skies as far as I can see, a reminder that summer is still here.

 

Today's selection spans an incredible 35 years, from Richard's early sonic experiments with Genesis P-Orridge/Psychic TV resulting in the seminal Jack The Tab album, founding The Grid with Dave Ball and Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve with Erol Alkan, further experiments with The Time & Space Machine and currently, a prolific output in his own name, not least the Music For Healing longform series and Oracle Sound dub excursions. 

 

I am in awe.

 

It's been a year of tough choices and occasionally poor decisions, but one of my best was to take up a subscription to the Inner Mind members' club via Bandcamp. I enthused about it last time and I'd recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed this selection, particularly the opening and closing brace of tracks. It really is money well spent. Thanks, Richard!
