FIRST SOMETHING BLACK BETWEEN THE STARS:
Picking banjo in a bower of fairy lights. Thinking about delay-lines,
machines I experimented with as a kid. Early tape-echoes, 1960’s,
why did I stop? Last night, sat on the bonnet of the car, alone
between the fields, beneath a full sky of stars. Engine running,
flask of black stuff steaming , practising new tunes for the tour,
stopping cars that wound down windows to shout their names.
The stars & the car & the engine running, the black stuff & the music
playing turned negative positive – new stuff feels good.

Can’t wait for Camden. Got tickets for both nights. There will be ups and downs for all between now and then but 2016 is gonna be awesome. A real vintage… Let’s do it!
Happy New Tunes, Karl! 🙂
I’ll really try to be there to hear it live.
I like your nocturnal wanderings.
Discovering and exploring Underworld now. Wonderful. Your solo album was lovable as well.
Loved the sample teaser. Can’t wait for Roundhouse! Happy New Year Karl & Pals! Here’s to celebrating Barbara in 20 years time! Forever your friend – Cheers Liz!
