BBC interview

This morning, John was on the BBC 6music show with Phill Jupitus

Fascinating retrospective interview. John tells the story of the evolution of electronic music very well, and illustrates it with some lovely stories and anecdotes.
One particularly interesting aspect is the links that are becoming apparent between tracks like "Kurfurstendamn"('ker-dam') and "Hiroshima Mon AMour" which have a definite sonic similarity. I noticed at the weekend the same thing going on between "A Peripheral Character" from TCM and "Quiet Men" from the SOR album.
Great to hear John publicly talking about his plans to exhibit TCM and CO at the ICA early this year which means its no secret (phew...!) and he's genuinely excited to have 'done' SIX albums this year. This includes the Guthrie project, which is still far from finished.

Got a copy of the interview, so I can expand the Archive now.
Next stop, BBC 2, midnight.
