Dr Wommm's Medicine Cabinet

15 November 2007

"I was lucky in those days to have a rich wife, and so we sold her tiara and swapped it for a computer"

is only one of many fantastic quotes from this most excellent documentary about EMS , electronic music pioneers extraordinaire, which I suggest you go and watch immediately, not just because it offers a rather eccentric and very British take on the early days of electronic music as opposed to the more usual US (Moog, Buchla et al) or European (Stockhausen, Darmstadt etc) perspectives, but because it highlights a major failing in the mentality of this country which tends to allow it's most original thinkers to sink into obscurity as prophets without honour in their own land and also because it's fucking excellent.

Because I was an actual NDE on the outskirts of the Great Beyond at 15 yet wasn’t allowed in GRRR lemme share with you what I actually know Seventh-Heaven’s Big-Bang’s gonna be like: meet this advanced, bombastic, ex-mortal Upstairs for the most extra-groovy-paradox, pleasure-beyond-measure, Yummy-Reality-Addiction in the Great Beyond for a BIG-ol, kick-ass, party-hardy, robust-N-risqué, eternal-warp-drive you DO NOT wanna miss the sink-your-teeth-in-the-rrrock’nNsmmmokin’-hot-deal.
