(Album Review) Lee Negin - The Chronicles of Cheeze Volume V


The soundscape master dazzles once again, with more mind bending sounds and hard beats shaped into his latest, Techno Opera.
"Anyone want a line for review"
"Chronicle of Cheeze is the Rock Horror Picture Show,  on an acid trip"
Swan lake when you think of Opera, but this is a Techno Opera, so all the alien toys get thrown out of the window"

I played the album in full, on my radio show on June 20th. There are various, nicely crafted dance numbers.
The second song, after the alien introduction, is dance number, Just Staying. Reminded me of the, Time Warp, dance sequence, in Rocky Horror. The other reason, is where the track is placed, which is near the opening, like the song in the film.
I have heard many previous albums by Lee, although i still didn't know what to expect, with an Opera.
In many places, this adventure, sounds a little like a radio play. Voices, siutation comedy and of course,what i call,  " The Trainspotting Effect" with someone in the intermission going to the toilet. When i heard that, reminded me of the film sequence
Chill to a kaleidoscope of sounds and literally, when you want to go somewhere else,  like a fine wine, you get more and more from repeated tastings
Your first taste from Lee Negin? Take, The Orb, KLF, Talking Heads, Future Sound of London, all rolled into one and you are about there. He started before everyone mentioned
If you have heard Lee Negins before, then you know what to expect, but still, leave you concept of time at the front door.
There is never a dull moment, and the pace is nice and steady with a few techno numbers laced with prime sound cuts and you might forget that an alien is talking to you.

To preorder this nonconcept of time album, you can go to his website
To let him know you are pay attention his Facebook ;)

The History of Record Shops

Image
Since I have been helping to promote local record shops Strummer Room Records and new Mac’s Music Store here in Banbury  (One way of being involved), It occurred to me that not much attention historically is being paid towards record shops.  As a former owner of record shop Demand  Records ( still dabble with online vinyl album sales)(I miss it like crazy), I thought I would focus on this.  I realised recently that my shop is a part of. Over the decades there have been independent and chain stores. Depends where you live. The starting point is Banbury, who knows where this may lead?  I have decided to make this journey broader.  I thought to myself I am bound to get asked at some point. At the moment this is a few blogs and the start of an ongoing series on Youtube. This may lead to a documentary at some point. But not getting too far ahead of myself.                                                      Picture of Strummer Room Recorfs Strummer Room Records ( 4 years walk in and online

Finally, i can now play vinyl records again on radio

Before the headlines, an update.... Co Presenter The radio variety show has always been able to evolve or move in various directions. Reason for the difficult task of finding a good name for the show In April 2015, i found a co presenters, Educational publisher and graphic designer, Darren Coles. We began messing about on radio, and wanted to come up with a duo name. For some reason, animals come into conversation and we ended up with, Dog and Crow. I am Dog and Darren is Crow. Partly the reason, for this is because, Darren, can do a wicked, Crow sound and i can do a Dog one Show HQ has moved again A place i have been waiting for over a year finally landed. My father knew of a couple who were to rent a house. I was in the position to move in, but heard nothing for long time. Then the chess pieces fell into place, hired a van to move the gear and we landed into new HQ, beginnig of November 2015 Improvements Darren has a technical mind. He has gear, has been in bands and can se

The travel guide of Fun For Louis, aka Louis Cole

Back in the day, when TV and traveling around the world to different places was kind of everywhere, it was really entertaining, This has all but gone from the main British channels. One TV series that stood out was " The Rough Guide" taking you to the non tourist area's, well places where they allowed TV cameras That was the 1990s, now fast forward to 2014/2015 Youtube is now the place for many people to watch, essentially, TV. At the start, Youtube is not what it is now. However, more people are vlogging ( Short for video blog), comedy and documentaries. I am not a fan of collecting loads of people on Youtube and subscribing, as there is a lot of channels with the same stuff. You have, revewers, technology and gaming, which does get tedious after a while. It takes something good to grab my attention and one such person, from Surrey, England. is Louis Cole Although his, Youtube, life didn't start out daily vlogging or travelling, it is now the content he
