Yes, of course there was a Nik Fiend/Hans Zimmer collab in this timeline (moderated by Billy Currie, at the behest of Duffo) www.discogs.com/release/3608... #aliensexfiend #ultravox #excessivemoviesampling #unlikely #oddity #eighties

#bandcampfriday First up, "OF DUB" by LEGION OF ONE. This is NOT a dub album! Rather inspired by my love of dub and particularly the punk and post punk influence. This was release by my friends at the awesome @frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com/album/of-dub

#bandcampfriday Next is the doomy child e.p. for OF DUB called "OF TOWERS AND BRITTLE THINGS". In truth, LEGION OF ONE is heading down this gothy laneway for a while and there's a load of new tracks like this to come. @frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com/album/of-tow...

#bandcampfriday Lastly, this slice of weirdo psychedelic gothic noise from myself and my excellent friends @thelastsound.com @whok.bsky.social and Bryan O'Connell. Lots more of this to come. We're sifting through hours of recordings atm. cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/scrawled

Wrote a lengthy essay about Clannad and how they deserve to be critically reevaluated in the same way Enya (former member, and Moya's sister) rightly has over the past decade or so. So much special music in their discography, carried in huge part by Moya's voice. You can read it here.
