on Love in order by MPOProduction
Ooh yeah I like me some low down dirty blues. Makes me want to go listen to some Howlin Wolf again. Beautiful thick sound on this and your smoky voice is perfect.

The unique visions of the best poet/musician/shaman on the loop. It's been too long.... We should colab one day. Sorry I couldn't come up with anything on that track you sent me a while back. Chris.

on Giving Me This Feeling by LNTL
Hi again, this isn't really the forum for this chat but never mind. It is pretty crazy man. Yeah Polly rings a bell for sure. Maybe she was the understudy of the older women tattooist. I bought that bike off Norvil for 20 quid.

Privatisation eh? Not a fan of the profit motive.

All the best, Chris.

Haha thats classic you bought it. So funny that a random meeting on a music site can lead to discussing Norvils bike.
Have a good New Year my friend!

on Giving Me This Feeling by LNTL
Early 90s to be exact but hey. I remember SAS, had a lot of respect for what they did, raising awareness and pushing change. It'was something I felt strongly about. I'm an ecologist/botanist now but was a nature child back then... Still am I guess. Never got to st Agnes tho. There's a few local characters I knew from Newquay tho,. Like Norvil No Sense (don't know his real name). Had a Mohawk and a little dog and rode around on an old BMX bike. He introduced me to the women who was tattooist there at the time. And then there was the guy from Manchester who was our go-to for scoring hash.....so chances are.... three degrees of separation and all that.

In the end we got the water here cleaned up by forcing change through the European Parliament. For 20 years it worked pretty well. Unfortunately since leaving the EU successive governments have turned a blind eye to our privatised water companies discharging raw sewage back into the sea every time it rains.
I used to see that guy with the mohawk cruising with his dog n bike combo all the time, and yes I think his name was/is Norvil. Im guessing the tatooist might be Polly? - she cruised around in a van a lot - I met her in Taghazoute in Morrocco around '92 but I know she lived around Newquay as my mates up there all knew her also - infact my ex has one of her inkings. Like you say degress of separation, the world can truly feel like a small place sometimes. It's not really, it's fkn huge which makes meeting you on here pretty unlikely and quite a pleasant surprise.

Now here's a happy sounding tune. Love it man. Good vibes all the way. It's kind of hypnotic too, which I also enjoy. Cheers Zoot.

LNTL replied 28th Dec 2025 - 3 months ago
Thanks brother :) It so funny you were in Newquay in the mid 90's. Im from St Agnes (Aggy) just down the coast and was working for Surfers Against Sewage at that time - maybe you came to one of the parties we organised..? I gotta admit tho my memory of it all is a bit blurry - crazy rave days but a great time to arrive in the UK.

on Epitaph - The Monzder Squadd by Pnnywze
Mate this fusion works really well. Guitar sounds great in the mix. It's not the same but it put me in mind of Rise Robot Rise from back in the day. Pretty obscure group from the 90s fusing rock, hip hop, a bit of funk and metal.
Pnnywze
Pnnywze replied 28th Dec 2025 - 3 months ago
Hey Chris - I appreciate you saying so dude. We kinda grew into this style group-wide, so it is our main Go-to sound, and I'm damn proud of it! Ive heard of Rise Robot Rise, surprisingly. I grew up in that era, and I had a friend in my teens (The Singer of my very 1st Band, actually) that always listened to more hip stuff than the rest of us did - The Flaming Lips, Butthole surfers, Clutch, Ministry, The Melvins, stuff like that - and the group u mentioned was something he introduced us to. Anyhoo - I wanna thank u for still being a friend and supporter 6 years after I uploaded my first song here. U were the second person I ever spoke to in the community. Time flies huh?

on How Many Times Have I Told You - Remix by ValveDriver
Killer track Aaron. Everything sounds amazing, mix included. Didn't listed to ministry back in the day but maybe I should. I think I'll play my 14 year old son this track, I think he'll dig it. Cheers Zoot.
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 26th Dec 2025 - 3 months ago
Zoot, how are ya, man? Well, I hope.
Thanks for the listen and the comment. I appreciate it.
Ministry has been on regular rotation in my playlists since about 1989. Even in my tracks where I'm not intentionally going for that vibe (like this one), they still show up in some way or another.
I'm flattered that you would think to show this to your son. I know you've said in the past that he's become quite the metal head. Let me know what he thought of it.
Take care, mister.
Aaron.

Zoot! It's good you stopped through. I cut my jazz teeth on Herbie. His sound is still way to cool after all these years. Thanks for the compliments. It's good you enjoyed your listen.
Peace,

on Give Peas A Chance by Kayos2
Personally I like peas lol. Eat them frozen even, but out of the pod is best! I've been trying to get a chance to listen to this track for a while cause I knew it would bring a smile to my dial. And it did of course. Thanks!

We'll I've heard this and commented before... Still sounds fantastic. So I'll just wish you a relaxing holiday break. Cheers Chris ps I've been listening to Micky on the astral plane quite a lot lately.

Micky replied 18th Dec 2025 - 3 months ago
Oh man, the astral plane... that's so far away and yet so close, sometimes. Did you know that Irmin Schmidt is the only one of Can still alive? I think he's 88 or so.

Thanks for your words, dear friend.
