about

An iconic album, loved by John Peel and the hippy trippy Underground scene of the early 90's from Megatripolis to Megadog.
I met Nyge, Andy, Steve and Matt at the Wibbly Wobbly World of Music (better known as Zion Train) when i was recording my ambi-dub track "Orion" at their studio in Tottenham.
As I was obviously on some strange cosmic vibe, but with a good voice and piano skills, they suggested I add something lyrical and vocal into the mix of their mates currently laying down some tunes. I had many lyrics and stories and theories and visions floating round my head constantly, so weaving these into the electronic ideas of the lads was a match made in bonkers heaven.

What the songs are about:
Ever the optimist, but with a worry about the environment i could still Choose to be happy. Inspired by a fascination of Amoebas in both school Biology and their determination in the gut, I wondered about evolution - all those funny old diversions into wings, fur, scales, horns from ultimately that very ambitious one celled mud-living organism. I studied energy particularly using Sound & Colour vibrations, hence in awe of the Rainbows of Gaia. Also meditating with sound feeling the divine breath in Breathe. There will always be Angels watching over me, watching over you.

In this wonderous wacky universe, perhaps made from fairy cake crumbs inside the Total Perspective Vortex (thanks Douglas Adams), we are all beautifully interconnected. You really can't touch a flower without trembling a Star.
