Pleased with the mix of music on this show and the chance to slip in tracks from two of my all time favourite albums, Burning Blue Soul by Matt Johnson (It'll always be by Matt Johnson and not by The The as far as I'm concerned) and Leaves Me Blind by the Underground Lovers. Both albums share a strung out pyschadelic quality and both are very much of their time and place, with 10 years and 11,000 miles separating them. Apart from that theres the usual mix of old and new and a very rare gem from a certain Polly Harvey, bringing back memories of my seeing her at the Islington Powerhaus way back in 1992. It's too much, I'm gonna' have to go and lie down.

i found my cassette of 'soul mining' the other day with that great version of 'Orange Kisses from Kazzan' (sp) the other day...
darn well wish I had a easy way of getting things from analogue to digital.
Wow, my cassette player chewed its way through two copies of that album! I guess the 5 or 6 extra tracks were just too much, or maybe the chrome tape that Epic used was just wasn't of the same quality as the music. Why did they never release the extra tracks on the CD?? Maybe there will be another obscure track by The The coming soon.
