    Adamski was from Lymington in the New Forest. I actually Dj'd at a local house party with him back in day when his "Live & Direct" album came out in 1988.

     

    Blimey, I’ve actually always wondered if “Adamski” was Adam Freeland under a different name. But I’ve never found out this to be true.

     

     

     

    Ok here's a few more, kicking off with the tune that started it all for the prodigy.

     

    I'll concur, but only to a point and I’ll be surprised if you've not got this one in the box.

    Dont know if you remember, but the sampled commentary in "19" was based on a documentary about the Vietnam war that was screened some months before 19 was released. The documentary was chilling and very powerful and portrayed the full horrors of war. It was a tribute to the documentary and way ahead of its time

     

    I've never seen it.

     

    Should track it down at some point.

    i'm 15, and my dad who's 40 still plays this full blast in his car, and so will i, prodigy for driving, for raving, for school, for life.

     

    Isn't that the truth :)

     

     

     

    SR - I forgot to congratulate you on Plastic Dreams, cool tune... Here's another one you probably know.

    Got to admit m8, that's a new one on me, but you can definitely hear that early 90's sound.

     

    Band of the holy joy, please guys. Don't know if you do requests.. But I'd love to hear the track that goes" the moon mustve sighed when it looked down ... Was there one track of sheer brillance.

     

    Another thought would be a GEI album of all the great stuff put here by you guys. Where too is Riders On the Storm...

     

    Just to prove how good the early 90's actually were ;)

    You've brought some old memories back of 'yoot' with that post. Used to play the original endlessly though preferred 'Numbers' ................

    (prior to 19 I believe)

    I'm 40 years old now and I STILL get the urge to go out and paint when something or someone p1sses me off. I tend to paint best at those times.

     

     

    I loved this as a small boy, but now on reflection it feels even more powerful, an historical record, literally.

    But I'm surprised there was no Bambaataa in your post, so I hope you don't mind me adding one........... but I'll not be opting for "plant rock" that would be just to predictable ;)

    WOW! So impressed.

     

    Never planted winter cabbage before, am i too late or when do people try this out? Any guidance?

     

    Thanks :)

     

    I think it's a little late for the winter cabbage, but please appreciate that I'm far from an expert on Cabbages. (I lost a fair few this year)

     

    I'd go for some "Spring" cabbages, but I'd get them in quick before the weather turns, really they needed to be sown last month and transplanted now, but we've had a late winter this year so I'm hoping for a late summer. The soil will still be warm at least for a short while so germination should occur. They'll be ready for harvest around March / April.

     

    Currently thinking about sticking in some Japanese onion sets to "over winter" for next spring, and as soon as the greenhouse is cleared (Tomatoes, Chillies and Cucumbers) I'll be sticking in the lettuce etc.

     

    Also tempted to try out a greenhouse heater as well, but it'll mean that I’ll have to repair a broken bit of glass that I found useful for letting in bees etc for pollination to keep the heat in.

    Interesting. I noticed that during the performance there where not many people smiling either in the audience or performing. During my recent Unkle night out I was grinning like a Cheshire cat, and I was stone cold sober.

    Are we seeing the birth of a new genre of "orchestral breaks" ?

     

    I am able to see how the "breaks side" would want to employ an orchestra within their music, but I’m wondering if the view from the "other side of the fence" could be mutual? Would someone who has devoted their life to an instrument appreciate and want to embrace the break beat side?

     

    For a marriage to work, obviously both parties have to be happy and in love with each other.

     

    I have a liking for some classical music, some of it just gives me a headache to be honest, but when I get a piece that suits my ears and performed well, it is with out doubt the most powerful of all music genres.

     

    For instance the effect it has on films............

    Planting list for 2010

     

    Runner Bean - Polestar - Good crop, ended up having about 9 plants in total

    Pea - Hurst Green Shaft - Total failure, next year I'll try starting them off in some guttering in the grean house instead of sowing them directly in the ground.

    Sweet Corn - Passion - Good crop, far better then last years fiasco, I'll end up with around 20 - 30 cobs off around 36 plants. Bad location due to sunlight but I'm happy with the result

    Potato - Mais Bard (First Early)

    Potato - King Edward (Main Crop) - Both sets of potatoes did better this year, bad location really (next to the corn) and had one or two "sunlight issues" will try using "bags" next year.

    Beetroot - Bolthardy - Lots of it........ still got loads in the ground as well.

    Tomato - Gardeners Delight (Small Tomatoes) - out door ones are only just starting to ripen. looks like it'll be a good yield.

    Tomato - Tigerella (Fancied a change this year) - Much better then moneymaker, split a few of them as I overwatered on the odd occasion but no sign of disease. happy with the result.

     

    Cucumber - Socrates - only 4 plants this year....... and still cropping - good yield

    Courgette - Soleil

    Courgette - Romanesco - both courgettes producing well, not as vigerous as last year nor as many, but still going.

    Aubergine - Black Beauty - hmmmmmm.......... position in the greenhouse probably isn't the best. not picked one yet.

    Squash - Butternut - still growing, looks like I'll get some nice ones, some are even interplanted in the corn ;)

    Chillies/Peppers - Antohi Romanian (Sweet), Golden Bell (Sweet), Friggitello (Sweet), Jalapeno (Hot), Hungarian Hot Wax (Hot) Red Cherry (Hot) - good crop from the Hot ones, the sweet ones however .... well I got a few.

     

    Broccoli - (Spouting) Early Purple - Established, still growing

    Brussels Sprout - Evesham Special - Established, still growing

    Cabbage - Hispi - had some problems with catterpilers, i'll end up with about half a dozen good ones.

    Carrot - Amsterdam 3 (Sprint) - didn't bother planting these..... run out of space.

    Parsnip - Gladiator - Established, still growing

     

    Spinach - Perpetual Spinach - all good, still got some in the ground*

    Rocket - Wild Grazia - all good, still got some in the ground*

    Lettuce - Little Gem - all good, still got some in the ground*

     

    * as a note, first time I've done multiple sowings. next year I hope to establish a constant flow through the summer.

     

    Leek - Mussleburgh - Established, still growing

    Onion - Stuttgarter Giant - didn't get many "big ones" bad growing location really, looking forward to doing these again next year, but still got some good ones. harvested early as everyone ended up nearly walking on them

     

    Spring onion - ended up sowing some of these as well, should hopefully "overwinter"

     

     

    Also have about 25no Strawberry plants from the runners of last years 3 or 4 strawberry plants. - I've now got approx 80 plants :)

     

    Had some hasstle in the chicken coup with introducing some new hens, lost a few but currently getting around 3 -4 eggs off 5 birds.

     

    Also started a herb garden as well, Sage, Chives, Parsley and mint. The parsley is going like the clappers.

    As a matter of fact, I'm going to dedicate the above tunes to anyone who has decided to "stay put" in their home towns if/when a "long emergency" takes hold. Maybe it will, maybe it wont, however, Detroit as far as I am aware has and is still currently facing this.
