I love reaching small milestones and heading onwards. Here's the latest...
A fascinating artistic adventure. A set of records that delve into the past and its attempts to anticipate the future. The Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan is a series of electronic instrumental records that unfold like an Original Soundtrack to a slightly creepy film set in the Seventies. In Warrington and Runcorn possibly.
They're absorbing, mesmeric albums. Somewhere between The Exorcist soundtrack, and a bunch of Northern geeks and their attempt to make a Kraftwerk record.
Gordon Chapman-Cox, the mastermind behind the project, is now four records into it and its shaping up to be a true labour of love. Anyone who grew up in the Seventies will recognise the vistas, contours and lineation he's mapping. The Nations' Most Central Location is just the latest installment.
Get yourself a set of headphones, sit back in a comfortable chair and close your eyes, to be carried backwards in time and into the future at one and the same time. This is blissful experience
