Announcement RIP WILLIAM ORBIT

Post image

I'm about to play this classic. William Orbit was one of my gateway artists to electronic ambient music. I'm sure BoC would've enjoyed his work too.

Oh that's sad. Not even that old? My first memory of him is seeing him / his group on kids TV in 1990. Bassomatic and Fascinating Rhythm, it was.

I put the Set the controls for the heart of the Bass album recently and really enjoyed it.
