Profile

REEL formed when three refugees from The Psychedelic Duelling Wars congealed in the psychic wreckage of a Somerset studio to record Wild Garlick electronics, eschatological ambience & brown acid techno on adapted bits of farm machinery & petrol cans

Currently playing the Fall's Peel Session version of Blindness, which is the best recorded version - but the definitive version is of course this: If it isn't the best Fall song ever (I concede it might just be top 5) then we can agree surely that it's by the far best song about David Blunkett ever

That “Keep this frequency clear” sample drop was thrilling in the way that people got excited by guitar solos or vocal trills, as was hearing the Terminator X sirens… I had Cabs / TG etc records by then but this stuff (+ the JAAMS) seemed somehow like the revolution was coming.

This is how we ended up with Terry Riley & Steve Reich. We need more of this.

Rage-baiting for Fun not Profit

Off to see Simon on his shoegaze book tour in Bristol next week…

Think of Trillions more than I should

Sometimes It Snows in April - i wouldn’t say I was ever a crazy Prince (“I think I’d have to say, The Best Of Prince”) but fir various reasons this hit hard at the time and still does m.youtube.com/watch?v=ikZg...

The extended mix of Beat Dis came on in the car & I was reminded of the visceral thrill of just hearing random TV & film shit emerge from these tracks when they came out. m.youtube.com/watch?v=6N7x...

England’s kit should have referenced Aubrey Beardsley or Austin Osman Spare. Leonora Carrington would have been cool. Even a Pre-Raphaelite would have done. Could see Bridget Reilly working. Or Turner! Do better, England.
