This was a good watch too on Channel 4. Struggling to fathom that this was 23 years ago! Where’s the time gone?

Shaun Ryders description of Voodoo Ray when he first remembers hearing it still has me in bits!

really want to see that, do you know what it’s ‘on’?

Not sure, sorry.

I saw it at the Barbican a while back.
I know they said they are planning a Part 2 with Carl Craig, Theo P, MM, OmarS etc!

Needs its own thread as their website alone was amazing :smiley:

Will they be available Dom? Seems to be conflicting info over on FB i.e. very limited run and not available generally. They’re great by the way, would love to get my hands on one

I think I spoke to you about this in lockdown?
I was tryna get it off the ground but the situation became too complicated

4 years later and Simon’s made this massive tome - 12” square… got to be 300 pages?

All on GF Smith paper too…

Yeah you mentioned it and that you were trying to do it. So nice…

It says it’s going to be £250 on Foyles website not sure how accurate that is or if at all this will be the case. They don’t even have a picture.

I doubt they will have that :joy:

Does it include anything additional to what is on the website, Dom.

No, sadly.

Could have done with some charts, fresh interviews etc, (but this is where it began to get complicated)

There were a fair few moving parts and issues in getting it off the ground in the first place

Thanks. Yes, fair play to all involved. A weighty tome indeed.

Literally 5 mins from where I now live

As is this (well, about 10 mins). Anyone recognise it?

This was the old office of Morgan Khan’s Street Sounds in West Acton
