SubVersion Stop 275: SV Recommends Ambientblog Headphone Commute Endorsed Mix
Bit of a mouthful, that title, isn't it? But it's all relevant. SubVersion Ambientblog and Headphone Commute are all ambient publicising blogs. I'm recommending this new "DreamScenes" series mix from Ambientblog, published also on Headphone Commute, and it's a cracker. A real stayer mentally

SubVersion Stop 260: Xmas Charts from Muttley Statto & MetaLX...
SubVersion End Of Year Chart from Muttley (http://www.focisleft.bandcamp.com / http://www.twitter.com/MuttleySV, http://www.kapsil.net/muttley, http://www.facebook.com/muttley.subversion.3, http://www.subvertcentral.blogspot.co.uk, http://www.mixcloud.com, www.souncloud.com/subversion-2, http://www.nightshiftmag.co.uk writing, http://www.fluid-radio.co.uk writing).
A lot can happen in a year...I found love within myself. I released albums with good reviews. I bought lots of mind-scultping records. I delightedly changed my accommodation with help of the local mental health services. And I realised, all along the way, that I didn't have to go anywhere - the party moves with the indivisual.
01. Favourite track: Run close by Tamaryn - Sugar Fix, Little Red - The Huntsman, Kid Moxie - Mysteries Of Love (feat. Angelo Badalementi), and Marina & The Diamonds - Gold, and finally, Markus Guetner - Magnetar (A Strangely Isolated Place vinyl, like our space station, frankly)...
02. My album of the year is Bjork - Vulnicura, followed by Bat For Lashes - Sexwitch, then Kid Moxie - 1888, then Tamaryn - Cranekiss. David Borden - Music For Amplified Keyboard Instruments, Marina Diamandis - Froot. Of my own solo LPs, it's Nothing, Early Riser (released at Rapture, Witney, Oxon UK today), What I Think - Right Bus Of The Psyche, or LUV. All my releases are available at www.focisleft.bandcamp.com.
03. Favourite label: Low Point. Bought their entire discography (32 + digital releases, subscribe to their newsletter, they have 2 new tapes from Kogumaza today - it's Hardwick's label) on Bandcamp this Autumn. Kyle Bobby Dunn, Gareth Hardwick, Lviv, P Jorgesen, Ex-Easter Island Head, Apalusa. So many more. Absolute goldmine catalog if you love minimalist ambient and drone.
04. Favourite mixtape: Foci's Left - Any And All Things - Live @ GTI, Sep 26th 2015 (Live improvised mixset, first electronics gig conscious). Fixated for 15 years in 34 minutes.
05. Favourite book: Emotioanal Intelligence And Understanding Emotional Intelligence: Daniel Goleman, pbk 1995.
06. Favourite gig: Gig of zee year I went to Friday 18th December, 10 months on:
After the Thought begins our evening with a warm and enveloping techno cheer that doesn't prepare the audience for what's to come. In the best way of course, because Gappy Tooth never disappoint in terms of stylistic diversity and act quality control. Matt Chapman-Jones, who is After The Thought, uses a Launch software technique that he's honed to a fine ambiental art since Midwinter Dronefest this time last year.
Utilising sparing guitar in reverb clusters with a different way with a Sigur Ros sample, cryptically it sets the tone for The August List, a husband and wife team I've never seen live before. Their demo of the month in Nightshiftmag.com 2012 impressed me, but now there are extra, gentile layers to the multi-tracked sound, taking the Lawrence vibe Matt had earlier and injecting auto harp, steely guitar chops spanning decades of folk arrangements and an intergender icy vocal call and response. Go see them - they're glad and very good.
Zurich could be a loose cannon in print, a glorious take on New Order speech styling s and Blue Monday catapulted into oblivion. Borne from the smoke of local Oxford band The Scholars, they're like the best combination of two of my fave post punk groups: The Horrors and lesser known rockers Glint from the United States. Much of their themes are loosely piloted - driven by raucous noise, and makes their and headline act Balloon Ascents appearance well worth the wait.
There's a lot of punches pulled by a 4-strong bunch of youths equally to the previous guitar storm, but Balloon Ascents tone down the heat inside the candle and hold the Radiohead, not dick head light strongly, with a clutch of new songs, most from 'Dont Look Down', making Nightshiftmag.com Top 25 in 2015. Their set is the perfect send off to Gappy Tooth's year in gigging, and mature lyrics tread the band to places where the instruments tell them that they're wrong. Gig of the year? For me personally, by a mile.
- besides my first live audience piano consciously at the James Street Tavern alongside Megan Josephy, Tom, Hugh McManners, Kosmosis , Cowley and first live audience keyboard and electronics consciously at The Wheatsheaf, High St, Oxford, experiences. Bjork at Wilderness Festival, of course, Braziers Park.
08. Favourite food (or Snax): I'll break this up into 3: meal, curry meal and Dastardly Exposure drink. Meal was the one I had today at Hackett's Bar, Witney. High Street, who had a saxophonist akin to Mikael Tariverdiev seemingly using a program to play along to like Music Maker Jam for iPhone. It was Chicken & Ham Hock Pie w peppered creamy mash, steamed veg (broccoli, carrots). Close runner up on the meal to the cruise Lobster w butter Sauce, asparagus and wild mushroom soup.
Curry meal was on the cruise, gotta say, despite wonderful Mutton Kodai, Chicken Balti and Korma curries from my favourite land restaurant, The First Floor Cowley, and Spiced Monkfish at La Cucina Cowley. Sindhu restaurant, Ventura ship. Soft shell crab (all edible) from the head chef with sauces and appetisers. But the real win came in the 3 course main meal after that: a sequence of rich korma, Lamb Rogan Josh and Tandoori Salmon Tofu, w a choice of high standard Marshmellow Cake or Chocolate Mega Profiterole. Included rice, sundries and Tarka Dhal. The main course was Atil Kochar's Big Plate.
DE drink would be Bavaria Lager, or Lager Shandy, from Holland. You can buy it in stores like Morrisons, ASDA (we have these in Carterton, Oxon - ASDA just opened).
09. Favourite guilty pleasure: Blogging
10. Favourite random moment: finding love (in a hopeful place week 22nd Feb ending) randomly, for the first time. The real kind of love, not the digital maelstrom I am sludgily used to. Hats off to a lovely lady for helping me heal from the time I was without feeling. Now I feel so loved and so alive.

SubVersion Stop 236: SV Recommends Muttley - Take Me Where The Giver Grows Mix (December 2014)

SubVersion Xmas Drip Feed Pt 3.
If you're interested, don't listen with a look at the tracklist to start with. It sinks in deeper this way. When you look at the tracklist after, it makes more sense. ;)
A birthday present for my 2014 linkworker Jo this is. But it's universal enough to warrant publishing. All Muttley / Foci's Left sets have concepts.
For the tracklist, see the ID3 tag.
Enjoy :)

SubVersion Stop 203: Algiversal Mix 2: Muttley - Busdriver And The Bustling Lyrics Of Mr. ShaoDow
Music is all about expression, creating, emphasising and/or improving a vibe is all part of the job description.
In my opinion the whole money, clubs, girls angle is all well and good as subject matter for a song but people often forget that there are a lot of other things that you can rap about.
Now I'm too busy to stand around and tell other rappers that they are not allowed to rap about money, possessions etc because if your life revolves around those aspects then it natural to want to rap about them. The issue that I have is that the subject have become so clichéd and played out that an outsider could be forgiven for believing that this is what rap is about.
More often than not rapping about those subjects is the easy way out, a tried and tested method almost certainly guaranteed to resonate with the masses and thus sell and make money.
With my music I'm also about expressing myself but I think that the life that I lead and the way I think gives me the opportunity to look at things in a different way and draw on different experiences.
I rap about whatever inspires me so you may or may not hear a tune from me about money, cars, girls etc but one thing you can guarantee is it'll be unique to me and not made as another soulless pop offering.
Honesty, satire, comedy, sarcasm, intelligence, some of the tools I like to use when crafting my music. In answer to your question I don't see my music as fitting easily into the existing system. I'm not looking to be "the next" anything. My long term goal is to create a niche based on my sound and style and hopefully provide something different for the people looking for something different.
Algiversal Mix 002 - Muttley - Busdriver And The Bustling Lyrics Of Mr. ShaoDow
Busdriver and Mr. ShaoDow speak to my narcissistic, egotistical side, their lyrics pumping me with adrenalin rushes. But they are also two of the most ambidextrously poisonous mental focuses of mine in the past 5 years. Busdriver's lyrics, as I've spoken of before, run around my head very fast at times and cause me a mini meltdown when I'm in a very anxious state. They also accelerate the time that I have to myself, by placing me in an uncomfortable state, where I have to lay down and regroup.
It's like I'm so impressed and enamoured by Busdriver's flow originally that I want to flow just like him, so I focus my attention on his lyrics even more. But because they are mostly incomprehensible to my ear, it frustrates me, causing screaming sensations as the word play is so fast and unfathomably dense. This seems a natural extension of a garbled, stream-of-consciousness situation, where everything speeds up, resulting in a natural expulsion.
Lyrics like "I'm a political pundit, I'm cynical and unfit, for day to day life" became self-degrading refractions in the past five years, whereas more angular, double-time rapping generally causes me a fragile state of mind. Critically, the lyrics are inventive and thought-provoking, from both rappers. However my negative reflections on Hip Hop and Rap forsake much of the emotional resonance of any connectedness I have to the music. It becomes a point of "too loud" / "too noisy" /"too fast" / "too contentious", whereby these qualities are some of the main reasons I don't listen to Hip Hop more than I do.
This mixtape is from the year 2009, a year where at the end of it I had mostly got over my schizophrenia breakdown and moved forward. This mix was created before Lil B did Ambient and Hip Hop combined. The backing track is called "Wilful" and was created for Cole Pierce's blog Presto Samo. On Subvert Central you can find the download link for the backing track, which is purely Ambient and quasi-Ambient. I hope you enjoy this mix from two wildly talented rappers - for me I'm trying to reintegrate it into my life, creating more reality from the lyrics - one step at a time.

SubVersion Stop 199: Silence Is Golden
Download
It's a 345 sample collage with a 3 hour duration. I made it from December 15th - May 13th 2011, and besides it being incredibly personal to me, is the best thing I've ever heard. Tracklist upon request. More info:
"The art of remaining mute is one of the keys to personal creative evolution. By speaking out and expressing our plans we often diffuse our need to do. It's as if some of the energy required to produce the creative product is already used up by the words themselves.
Some thoughts:
Never explain to others what you intend to do.
Never submit half-baked concepts to anyone.
If you make written notes beforehand, don't leak them.
Sanctify your working space by limiting interlopers.
Cover up serious projects until they are well along.
Learn to be your own best counsel and private advocate.
Do not be concerned when you talk to yourself."
Robert Genn, Canadian landscape painter, 2010.
Muttley - Silence Is Golden
Creator compiled, written, arranged, mixed.
320kbps Mp3, accompanying footnotes, 3 hour 44 second duration.
345 processed samples, over 200 individual tracks, 413MB.
Select musicians, promoters and journalists worldwide included.
Some underexposed entities in my area: South, UK.
Legal Mp3 stockists, select vinyl, CDs, DVDs, demos, artist, label and publishers' downloads, a capella's, a handful of sharity portals for anything long out of print.
Produced: December 15th 2010 - May 13th 2011.
Ruse: "Honestly Muttley, I have a lot of respect for your enthusiasm and vitality... and maybe if my post was a bit off it's because I'm actually a bit frustrated that you're kind of hiding your flame under a bushel with your verbosity. You don't need to validate yourself - let the work stand alone and it will speak for you. And it's fine to be a bit arrogant. If you believe in what you're doing it's only natural to defend it."
Droid (Blogariddims, weareie.com, Woofah, The Fear) publically, re: my second initiation in 2007.
I've come back better, harder, faster, stronger, and am ready for any critique on the project.
Prologue: Bliss, Void, Tired, Hidden
00:06 / 04:43 Paul Ferrini - The Hidden Jewel (Readings from The Hidden Jewel and Dancing with the Beloved, Heartways, 2007)
"Paul Ferrini wrote The Hidden Jewel to express in a simple and clear way the core concepts of his Roadmap to Healing and Transformation. The CD also features two flute improvisations, as well as Paul Ferrini reading wonderful love poems from his books Dancing with the Beloved and Crossing the Water. Paul’s poetry has been compared to that of Rumi and Gibran. If you have not experienced it yet, you are in for a treat."
00:06 Grouper - Improvisation 2 (free download, All Tomorrow's Parties, 2009)
Liz Harris headlined Cafe Oto, London, in November 2010. Everyone was spellbound. Her book of drawings, "Divide", sold out within three weeks. "Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping" remains a watermark, being used in Skins' melodrama. Supported Animal Collective across the States. There's criticism Grouper lyrics are too muffled, specifically in the "Way Their Crept" period, whereby "Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill" bleached that veil, adopting shorter track durations.
00:06 Woob - Repurpose (Repurpose, Bigamoebasounds, 2010)
First 2010 LP from a Subvert Central recommendation. Air-pocket choral ambience in the vein of Ryuichi Sakamoto. The SC forum is a goldmine for alt developments, despite small member quota. Ben Ufo (Hessle), Chris Inperspective (Technicality), Ben Subvert (Pepa, Kyza's debut home) and Naphta (The Fear, my 2006 ATM article ed) used to post frequently. The 2010 Winter forum upgrade saw Ben take on a huge interactive streamlining.
00:06 Oathless - Der Flug (Hawk Moon Vol.1, Hawk Moon Records, 2010)
The Wire did a nice feature on 'Sharity' concepts for 2009. HM Vol.1 was uploaded to free album blog Deleted Scenes, Forgotten Dreams, where you'll find bundles of niche drone, abstract, electro-acoustic, noise and modern classical. Links to buy are spurious. They're necessary, unless you know Google like Kim Kardishian's capacity for artery abuse.
00:20 Foci's Left - Regurgitated Impulses [David Tagg remix] (Audio Gourmet 005, 2010)
My first rendering, sent to a suitable label. Signed as soon as Audio Gourmet owner Spheruleus (Under The Spire, Hibernate) listened. Approval lead to its companion in 90 minutes. Darrer Harper and Spheruleus submitted remixes of the 'A', then Install's David Tagg, who put out The Caretaker's lauded "Persistent Repetition Of Phrases", got back to me. It's my favourite miniature on the EP. "Spillage" was released within three weeks, and blogged by Dave Michuda (Low Light Mixes, an ambient mixtape podcast with 100+ unique followers) and Fluid Radio (a hotspot for Experimedia and Wire's advertising).
"The Audio Gourmet netlabel, run by Harry Towell - a.k.a. Spheruleus- quickly became one of the major netlabels on the ambient music scene. At time of writing, their impressive catalogue presents about 30 releases, most of them EPs, around 15 minutes long, and thus created to fit your daily coffee/tea break perfectly."
"Hidden Landscapes Vol.1" CD review intro by Peter Van Cooten, ambientblog.net, January 2011.
All purchases fund Bandcamp credits, and further CDs.
00:20 Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra And Tra-La-La Band - Sisters! Brothers! Small Boats Of Fire Are Falling From The Sky! (Born Into Trouble As The Sparks Fly Upward, Constellation, 2001)
Godspeed manhandled catharsis, ASMZ prolonging subtlety and songwriting. This opens a 2001 foray on the Constellation imprint. I've modified specfic chords to give headroom to the overdubbed atmospheres and instruments. Collaborator Vic Chesnutt, sadly deceased, features later. Efrim Menuck and co have visited Oxford twice to date.
00:22 Gloria Coates & Kreutszer Quartet - String Quartet No.6: Meditation, (S. Quartets 1, 5 & 6, Naxos, 2000)
Born in 1938, Coates' pitching is "characterized by extremely strict, rigid technical procedures (canonic structures), which are often worked out with unusual musical materials (glissandi). Her music is postminimalist, marked by the tension 'not only between material and technique (an attempt to give structure to chaos), but even more so between what would have to be termed 'sober-technical' compositional principles and the genuine direct expressive power and emotionality of the music." In layman's terms, disorientating modern compositon.
00:58 Leyland Kirby - We All Won That Day, Sunshine (Sadly, The Future Is No Longer What It Was, History Always Favours The Winners, 2009)
James Kirby reinvented himself with "Sadly..." in December 2009, rocketing to boomkat.com's top album of that year. Previous key support was from the late John Peel (Radio 1) and John Balance (Coil). His mashup of Wham's "Last Christmas" as V/Vm embraced parody, whereas "A Stairway To The Stars", in Fact Mag's 'Top Ten Ambient Records', contains some of the bleakest ballroom transfusions I've witnessed. As you'd expect from the title, "Sadly" was drenched with melancholy, but avoided sugar rushes. "Tomorrow's world never came".
01:10 Macc & 0=0 - Bridge Over Broken Water (So Far EP, Subtle Audio, 2006)
Subtle Audio blossomed in January 2011, the Vol.II 3CD compilation receiving 4/5 ratings through Resident Advisor and I-DJ. Mixmag upped the ante with a 9/10. "Bridge..." was Bob Macchiochi's sole collaboration with 0=0, also off the first Subtle Audio EP, "So Far", released in tandem alongside Polska, Fanu, Equinox and Alpha Omega 12's since 2005. "Original, exciting, inventive" praise from Simon Reynolds (Energy Flash / Rip It Up And Start Again) via Blissblog, plays from Mary Anne Hobbs on her now defunct Radio 1 Experimental slot, and purchases from Barry Lynn (Boxcutter) and various underground DJs. Aphex Twin licensed Macc & dgoHn's "Some Shit Saaink" to Rephlex in 2009; the muso-intellectuals might start wiping the jizz off their Rusko records yet. Macc works with Ben Subvert at SC Mastering now, full time, and has over 15 years experience getting stuff shinier than Justin Bieber's visage. "Punctuality" by 0=0 was scheduled by Planet Mu for 2009.
01:44 Johnann Johannson - City Building [Alternative Version] (And In The Endless Pause There Came The Sound Of Bees, Type, 2009)
Modern classical grew out of love for electronics, contemporary composition, and a distaste for highbrow snobbishness. On talkclassical.com in October 2010, a user declared, "Classical music lovers stumble upon a classical forum, they see the Eno's (Roger), and leave, hoping to find a forum that offers discussion of classical music", in response to SubVersion's second planned show. He'd probably discard Johannson for some pseudo-caveat too.
Hauschka: "From my rather distanced point of view, it seems that the classical music scene has tried to prevent the 'watering down' of its genre, closing itself off to modernisation and new influences. I have sometimes had the impression that too little has been invested in young rebellious composers, while what has been amassed over 400 years is being continuously rehashed up to the point where these young composers go somewhere else. This doesn't have to be, as there's a lot going on in classical music."
"City Building", in both versions, is very fine. String quartets usurp revolution, but through the richness of Johann's type instalment, you can't help but be moved.
02:33 Jan Linton - Track 6 (CD-R, unreleased, 2010)
Last work on a demo I was sent. Linton is primarily based in Japan, however UK raised. He's had an illustrious, if underexposed career, producing alongside Duran Duran's John Taylor and "Pavillons" creator Bill Nelson. There is a double CD of re-interpreted sounds from the Buddha Machine out through Entropy Records, including the four-stringed Chinese Zhongruan.
02:52 Brian Eno - Copyright (The Dick Flash interview, video to audio conversion, 2010)
03:18 Marcus Noble - I'm On The Phone (A Day In The Life Of Some London Chicks, Noble Television cartoon, 2010)
03:23 / 04:19 Busdriver - Stylin' Under Pressure (Temporary Forever, Temporary Whatever, 2002)
Brian's logic here mocks The Sun's intellect: it's alright for Wayne Rooney to pick a fight with the milkman because 'he stole my last teabag'. Impromptu pantomime - artists have to make a living, but infringement has been hospitable for longer than the blank cassette. I feel a bit annoyed I didn't illegally download "Small Craft On A Milk Sea", as my desired christmas present was a sausage dog BMX. We're jesting, surely.
Cutups throughout are light-hearted satire. Noble's cartoon 'Chicks' bookend Eno's excerpt. As soon as a disagreement is projected, that figure: "He's dumped me (tears ensue)" is reality. It's directed at primitive industry bosses (majors, publishers) as well as those in the relationships of youth, yore, for expressing offence to a suggestion. Prevalent beyond teens, and a reason to not have a lot of male/female contacts: "I love how they can switch off their feelings like a lightswitch (meaning they never really had any in the first place)" said one user on dogsonacid.com regarding females in 2009.
Typecasts dissimilar with populism in all forms: 'selling out', 'lowest-common denominator', though, ignore that the world isn't black and white. It's comparable to calling something 'gay' when sexuality and happiness aren't involved. Degrading language invites degradation of social structure. And we don't need any more milkmen who steal celebrities' tea bags, do we?
03:26 Olafur Arnalds - Ert Jrin (...And They Have Escaped The Weight Of Darkness, Erased Tapes, 2010)
03:50 Library Tapes - Enslig (Like Green Grass Against A Blue Sky, Auetic, 2010)
Two excellent young instrumentalists, Arnalds building strings around piano, David Wennigren overlaying field recordings. For polarised playing style, gander at Conlon Nancarrow's haphazard's key stampede. Library Tapes will be touring Europe in Winter 2011 with Wild Dogs In Winter, who achieved best demo accolades from Fat Cat (Sigur Ros, Max Richter, V/Vm, Hauschka) with their inaugural EP. I bought six of David's CDs after he performed at St. Michael's Church. Auetic is pure DIY.
03:52 / 07:45 Naomi Klein - Doing My Best To Blend In / Treat Me As An Old Friend (The Shock Doctrine: The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism, read by Jennifer Wiltzie, 2008)
What gives 'The Shock Doctrine' early charm, is easily readable prose. I rarely study paperbacks, so that's where audiobooks are great. Naomi excluded, antiquated 'education' should be left to patronising academics.
03:53 Steve Roach - Something In Tears (Quiet Music, Fortuna, 1988)
03:54 Greg Haines vs. Grouper - Where It's Tired (Slumber Tides, Miasmah, 2006 / Way Their Crept, Type, 2007)
04:05 Godflesh - Flowers (Merciless, Earache, 1994)
04:16 / 07:37 / 07:50 PJ Harvey - Too Close To Home / My Biggest Fear / Purposefully (interview, BBC, 1995)
04:24 Stephen Fry - Self-Pity (The Secret Life Of The Manic Depressive, BBC 2 Documentary, 2007)
"I almost wanted, once, to publish a self-help book saying 'How to be happy' by Stephen Fry. 'Guaranteed success'. And people buy this huge book and it´s all blank pages and the first page would just say 'Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy. Use the rest of the book to write down your interesting thoughts and drawings'. That´s what the book would be and it would be true."
Regularly tormenting yourself with insecurity, paranoia and untrustworthiness via the internet is disingenous, moreover if you resign. A good female friend I met through the web restored balance in late 2010: "Whether you are male or female, if you are manipulative, opportunistic and selfish, you're a wanker and you don't deserve friends until you can earn them, end of. When I was younger I used to be impressed by successful or just plain confident people. Now I'm older, and thoughtfulness and humility are the only traits I look for in people I want to spend my time with."
Cognitive self-help is useful, and if several didn't cry out, we'd lose them. A heavily publicised death in the Drum & Bass scene after 2000 was Graham March, who produced as Desimal. He suffered intolerable schizophrenia, and tragically committed suicide at 26. Such situations are increasingly common, and serve as a reminder that if loss doesn't happen today, harsh truth arises - it could happen at any other time.
04:41 Bvdub - Descent To The End (The Art Of Dying Alone, Glacial Movements, 2010)
TDD's interview with Alessandro Tedeschi (Netherworld, GM owner) was pending in 2007, but he had his hands full. Rameses III's Spencer Grady did a good job in December 2010 for Dust magazine, Rock'a'Rolla before him. Exceeding four articles online previously, mainly in Italian. Discovered thanks to Jim Haynes' review of Mick Harris' "Like A Slow River" as Lull. Here I'll focus on dropping Brock Van Wey's "The Art Of Dying Alone", an accessible, characteristically glacial record that ditches completely isolationist approaches in favour of sweeter, changeable melody.
04:59 / 06:54 Chef, Kyle & Cartman - Come With Us (Timmy 2000, South Park Episode 51, 2000)
05:01 Genesis - Silent Sorrow In Empty Boats (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Charisma, 1974)
05:04 Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmonson - How Interesting! (Bottom Series Two Episode One, BBC 2, 1992)
If you've actually read this far, here's the catch. "I am the magnificent Tarzan; I don't address my faults". Nope. Seems lots are happy to do that. Later like breeds like, and we end up with more Tarzans, less steadfastness. Critically, everything smells. It could just be that we're sitting next to Chris Moyles - something's got to give with all those organic lettuce leafs. I've found five minutes signal for alienation, needed to set up the best YouTube misogynist I saw in 2010, and you get to hear a great Genesis tune, far removed from the prog later castigated into pub rock.
05:19 The Residents - Act Of Being Polite (The Commercial Album, Pre Records, 1980)
05:23 Marble Still - Defying The Purpose (Marble Talks About Girls, Noble Television, 2010)
05:34 Burial - Etched Headplate (Untrue, Hyperdub, 2007)
Jonathan Tait wrote for his Subvert Podcast (Episode 15): "drum and bass follows the trajectory of post punk to a large degree." Dubstep is a temporary future of what d&b arranged, and what post punk collectively influenced. For sonic invention, see Loefah. Unique voices in a crumbling infrastructure - Hessle Audio, Naked Lunch. Mount Kimbie and James Blake are your 'post' suffix. Unlike a lot of punk, and post-drum & bass - labelled clownstep, drumstep ("what more amazing genres can we make?"), the trend is producing original sounds. Until it fellates itself within an inch. So, here's Residents merged with dubstep's biggest breakthrough, album of 2007 on countless lists.
Gracing "Etched Headplate", 'crepped' youth Marble has a lot of angst. But contrasting your average bedroom MC, there's wisdom. Expect caustic wit only a pisstaking evangelist can offer, underpinned with those lusty autotuned vocals.
Tait also sent SC Vol.1 to Philip Sherburne six years ago, with the possibility of a review in Wire's Critical Beats section. "I got a friendly response, and then no response at all. Posting about it on Dissensus probably didn't help there" he told me in our 2008 interview. To be fair to Philip, Wire and Jon, you can't discern everything. But when the sole recognisable riposte is another staffer's mention of Photek's "Form" sequel, far past Rupert's groundbreaking period, sacred Picasso impressionism becomes additive for ASDA ready meals: undernourishing, unhealthy, and vain. Still, at least Naphta's "Long Time Burning" was featured. Even if it was misappropriated to the dub column.
"I think he wants a serious relationship rather than a one-night stand."
"Act Of Being Polite", The Genie, Songmeanings.com
07:26 / 07:55 / 08:15 / 09:35 L-R & Radiomentale - I Could Never Make That Music Again: Instrumental / Through Accident Or Disease / Outsiders / Attachment (I Could Never Make That Music Again, Sub Rosa, 2007)
Try listening to this LP from start to end. Throughout "Silence", I've adapted its multiple spoken nuances.
07:41 Paradigm X - We Both Are Lost (We Both Are Lost EP, UK Trends, 2010)
08:03 Mary Anne Hobbs - Forge A Path Of Your Own Making (Feeder.ro interview, video to audio conversion, 2008))
08:12 ASC - The Touch [Vaccine remix feat. Riya] (Auxilliary 001, Auxilliary, 2010)
09:44 Kanye West - Yo Taylor (video to audio conversion, MTV, 2010)
09:51 Gavan Navan's Fusion Futurz - You Sound Slightly Drunk (Beckett, SC Podcast 022, 2006)
Paradigm X assembled SC's 60x60 project with Jason oS, which was highest voted by Starfrosch.de aggregator when released. It comprised sixty one-minute tunes of any style. Paradigm mastered Exegene's "Noise Corrosion" CD in 2006, another non-profit exercise spawned from Subvert Central.
Mary Anne was a marmite broadcaster, and used to write for NME when it wasn't ostrich. After Radio 1 Experimental ceasing, 1Xtra's DJ Flight was proposed to take her role. Hobbs currently works as a lecturer.
James and Christine Clements operate on dubstep's fringe, but make fairly conventional tracks that nail the headphones/dancefloor tagline. ASC ran drum & bass label Covert Operations, on a subscription basis, for over two years, putting out plenty of highlights: Cryo's "Girls And Their Demons", Vector Burn's remix of Mav's "Atomic Collision" via a CD split with Warm Communications (see lower tempo offshoot Pushing Red), and ASC's own "Forcefield".
His appearances on dBridge & Instra:Mental's NonPlus+, the Autonomic podcasts, and Vaccine's minimix for Mary Anne in 2007, garnered greatest reaction. Intex Systems, James' defunct alias, crossed from American leftfield d&b stable Offshore, to Covert as a Future Sound Of London-inspired Electronica CD - "Research And Development" - which many regard as his best album. Mindspan, an excellent minimal Techno project with a Covert LP, disappeared up until 2012 with "The Second Cycle", however "Conversations", from an unreleased Mindspan collection "Headspace", made a cameo under the ASC moniker on "Nothing Is Certain".
You'll subsequently find an ASC vignette in 60x60, Vaccine doing live PA's around San Diego and beyond, and a multitude of guest mixes, such as "The Morning After: A Techmospherics Retrospective" for TDD's second zine. James' 'Deep Space' mix series is up to 19, and today he writes music for soundtracks, too: "Liquid Cinema: Music For Pictures" is hitherto featured.
As for Kanye West: a redeeming moment. He should write a book with the byline "How to be geenious and still make a million dollars", ghostwritten by Cognac activists. He's joined by Irish 'discotheque engineer' Ignatius Merangue (formerly Gavan Navan).

William Penn - Union Of Friends (Poems And Prose For The Departed)
It's a 345 sample collage with a 3 hour duration. I made it from December 15th - May 13th 2011, and besides it being incredibly personal to me, is the best thing I've ever heard. Tracklist upon request. More info:
"The art of remaining mute is one of the keys to personal creative evolution. By speaking out and expressing our plans we often diffuse our need to do. It's as if some of the energy required to produce the creative product is already used up by the words themselves.
Some thoughts:
Never explain to others what you intend to do.
Never submit half-baked concepts to anyone.
If you make written notes beforehand, don't leak them.
Sanctify your working space by limiting interlopers.
Cover up serious projects until they are well along.
Learn to be your own best counsel and private advocate.
Do not be concerned when you talk to yourself."
Robert Genn, Canadian landscape painter, 2010.
Muttley - Silence Is Golden
Creator compiled, written, arranged, mixed.
320kbps Mp3, accompanying footnotes, 3 hour 44 second duration.
345 processed samples, over 200 individual tracks, 413MB.
Select musicians, promoters and journalists worldwide included.
Some underexposed entities in my area: South, UK.
Legal Mp3 stockists, select vinyl, CDs, DVDs, demos, artist, label and publishers' downloads, a capella's, a handful of sharity portals for anything long out of print.
Produced: December 15th 2010 - May 13th 2011.
Ruse: "Honestly Muttley, I have a lot of respect for your enthusiasm and vitality... and maybe if my post was a bit off it's because I'm actually a bit frustrated that you're kind of hiding your flame under a bushel with your verbosity. You don't need to validate yourself - let the work stand alone and it will speak for you. And it's fine to be a bit arrogant. If you believe in what you're doing it's only natural to defend it."
Droid (Blogariddims, weareie.com, Woofah, The Fear) publically, re: my second initiation in 2007.
I've come back better, harder, faster, stronger, and am ready for any critique on the project.
Prologue: Bliss, Void, Tired, Hidden
00:06 / 04:43 Paul Ferrini - The Hidden Jewel (Readings from The Hidden Jewel and Dancing with the Beloved, Heartways, 2007)
"Paul Ferrini wrote The Hidden Jewel to express in a simple and clear way the core concepts of his Roadmap to Healing and Transformation. The CD also features two flute improvisations, as well as Paul Ferrini reading wonderful love poems from his books Dancing with the Beloved and Crossing the Water. Paul’s poetry has been compared to that of Rumi and Gibran. If you have not experienced it yet, you are in for a treat."
00:06 Grouper - Improvisation 2 (free download, All Tomorrow's Parties, 2009)
Liz Harris headlined Cafe Oto, London, in November 2010. Everyone was spellbound. Her book of drawings, "Divide", sold out within three weeks. "Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping" remains a watermark, being used in Skins' melodrama. Supported Animal Collective across the States. There's criticism Grouper lyrics are too muffled, specifically in the "Way Their Crept" period, whereby "Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill" bleached that veil, adopting shorter track durations.
00:06 Woob - Repurpose (Repurpose, Bigamoebasounds, 2010)
First 2010 LP from a Subvert Central recommendation. Air-pocket choral ambience in the vein of Ryuichi Sakamoto. The SC forum is a goldmine for alt developments, despite small member quota. Ben Ufo (Hessle), Chris Inperspective (Technicality), Ben Subvert (Pepa, Kyza's debut home) and Naphta (The Fear, my 2006 ATM article ed) used to post frequently. The 2010 Winter forum upgrade saw Ben take on a huge interactive streamlining.
00:06 Oathless - Der Flug (Hawk Moon Vol.1, Hawk Moon Records, 2010)
The Wire did a nice feature on 'Sharity' concepts for 2009. HM Vol.1 was uploaded to free album blog Deleted Scenes, Forgotten Dreams, where you'll find bundles of niche drone, abstract, electro-acoustic, noise and modern classical. Links to buy are spurious. They're necessary, unless you know Google like Kim Kardishian's capacity for artery abuse.
00:20 Foci's Left - Regurgitated Impulses [David Tagg remix] (Audio Gourmet 005, 2010)
My first rendering, sent to a suitable label. Signed as soon as Audio Gourmet owner Spheruleus (Under The Spire, Hibernate) listened. Approval lead to its companion in 90 minutes. Darrer Harper and Spheruleus submitted remixes of the 'A', then Install's David Tagg, who put out The Caretaker's lauded "Persistent Repetition Of Phrases", got back to me. It's my favourite miniature on the EP. "Spillage" was released within three weeks, and blogged by Dave Michuda (Low Light Mixes, an ambient mixtape podcast with 100+ unique followers) and Fluid Radio (a hotspot for Experimedia and Wire's advertising).
"The Audio Gourmet netlabel, run by Harry Towell - a.k.a. Spheruleus- quickly became one of the major netlabels on the ambient music scene. At time of writing, their impressive catalogue presents about 30 releases, most of them EPs, around 15 minutes long, and thus created to fit your daily coffee/tea break perfectly."
"Hidden Landscapes Vol.1" CD review intro by Peter Van Cooten, ambientblog.net, January 2011.

Godspeed manhandled catharsis, ASMZ prolonging subtlety and songwriting. This opens a 2001 foray on the Constellation imprint. I've modified specfic chords to give headroom to the overdubbed atmospheres and instruments. Collaborator Vic Chesnutt, sadly deceased, features later. Efrim Menuck and co have visited Oxford twice to date.
00:22 Gloria Coates & Kreutszer Quartet - String Quartet No.6: Meditation, (S. Quartets 1, 5 & 6, Naxos, 2000)
Born in 1938, Coates' pitching is "characterized by extremely strict, rigid technical procedures (canonic structures), which are often worked out with unusual musical materials (glissandi). Her music is postminimalist, marked by the tension 'not only between material and technique (an attempt to give structure to chaos), but even more so between what would have to be termed 'sober-technical' compositional principles and the genuine direct expressive power and emotionality of the music." In layman's terms, disorientating modern compositon.
00:58 Leyland Kirby - We All Won That Day, Sunshine (Sadly, The Future Is No Longer What It Was, History Always Favours The Winners, 2009)
James Kirby reinvented himself with "Sadly..." in December 2009, rocketing to boomkat.com's top album of that year. Previous key support was from the late John Peel (Radio 1) and John Balance (Coil). His mashup of Wham's "Last Christmas" as V/Vm embraced parody, whereas "A Stairway To The Stars", in Fact Mag's 'Top Ten Ambient Records', contains some of the bleakest ballroom transfusions I've witnessed. As you'd expect from the title, "Sadly" was drenched with melancholy, but avoided sugar rushes. "Tomorrow's world never came".
01:10 Macc & 0=0 - Bridge Over Broken Water (So Far EP, Subtle Audio, 2006)
Subtle Audio blossomed in January 2011, the Vol.II 3CD compilation receiving 4/5 ratings through Resident Advisor and I-DJ. Mixmag upped the ante with a 9/10. "Bridge..." was Bob Macchiochi's sole collaboration with 0=0, also off the first Subtle Audio EP, "So Far", released in tandem alongside Polska, Fanu, Equinox and Alpha Omega 12's since 2005. "Original, exciting, inventive" praise from Simon Reynolds (Energy Flash / Rip It Up And Start Again) via Blissblog, plays from Mary Anne Hobbs on her now defunct Radio 1 Experimental slot, and purchases from Barry Lynn (Boxcutter) and various underground DJs. Aphex Twin licensed Macc & dgoHn's "Some Shit Saaink" to Rephlex in 2009; the muso-intellectuals might start wiping the jizz off their Rusko records yet. Macc works with Ben Subvert at SC Mastering now, full time, and has over 15 years experience getting stuff shinier than Justin Bieber's visage. "Punctuality" by 0=0 was scheduled by Planet Mu for 2009.
01:44 Johnann Johannson - City Building [Alternative Version] (And In The Endless Pause There Came The Sound Of Bees, Type, 2009)
Modern classical grew out of love for electronics, contemporary composition, and a distaste for highbrow snobbishness. On talkclassical.com in October 2010, a user declared, "Classical music lovers stumble upon a classical forum, they see the Eno's (Roger), and leave, hoping to find a forum that offers discussion of classical music", in response to SubVersion's second planned show. He'd probably discard Johannson for some pseudo-caveat too.
Hauschka: "From my rather distanced point of view, it seems that the classical music scene has tried to prevent the 'watering down' of its genre, closing itself off to modernisation and new influences. I have sometimes had the impression that too little has been invested in young rebellious composers, while what has been amassed over 400 years is being continuously rehashed up to the point where these young composers go somewhere else. This doesn't have to be, as there's a lot going on in classical music."
"City Building", in both versions, is very fine. String quartets usurp revolution, but through the richness of Johann's type instalment, you can't help but be moved.
02:33 Jan Linton - Track 6 (CD-R, unreleased, 2010)
Last work on a demo I was sent. Linton is primarily based in Japan, however UK raised. He's had an illustrious, if underexposed career, producing alongside Duran Duran's John Taylor and "Pavillons" creator Bill Nelson. There is a double CD of re-interpreted sounds from the Buddha Machine out through Entropy Records, including the four-stringed Chinese Zhongruan.
02:52 Brian Eno - Copyright (The Dick Flash interview, video to audio conversion, 2010)
03:18 Marcus Noble - I'm On The Phone (A Day In The Life Of Some London Chicks, Noble Television cartoon, 2010)
03:23 / 04:19 Busdriver - Stylin' Under Pressure (Temporary Forever, Temporary Whatever, 2002)
Brian's logic here mocks The Sun's intellect: it's alright for Wayne Rooney to pick a fight with the milkman because 'he stole my last teabag'. Impromptu pantomime - artists have to make a living, but infringement has been hospitable for longer than the blank cassette. I feel a bit annoyed I didn't illegally download "Small Craft On A Milk Sea", as my desired christmas present was a sausage dog BMX. We're jesting, surely.
Cutups throughout are light-hearted satire. Noble's cartoon 'Chicks' bookend Eno's excerpt. As soon as a disagreement is projected, that figure: "He's dumped me (tears ensue)" is reality. It's directed at primitive industry bosses (majors, publishers) as well as those in the relationships of youth, yore, for expressing offence to a suggestion. Prevalent beyond teens, and a reason to not have a lot of male/female contacts: "I love how they can switch off their feelings like a lightswitch (meaning they never really had any in the first place)" said one user on dogsonacid.com regarding females in 2009.
Typecasts dissimilar with populism in all forms: 'selling out', 'lowest-common denominator', though, ignore that the world isn't black and white. It's comparable to calling something 'gay' when sexuality and happiness aren't involved. Degrading language invites degradation of social structure. And we don't need any more milkmen who steal celebrities' tea bags, do we?
03:26 Olafur Arnalds - Ert Jrin (...And They Have Escaped The Weight Of Darkness, Erased Tapes, 2010)
03:50 Library Tapes - Enslig (Like Green Grass Against A Blue Sky, Auetic, 2010)
Two excellent young instrumentalists, Arnalds building strings around piano, David Wennigren overlaying field recordings. For polarised playing style, gander at Conlon Nancarrow's haphazard's key stampede. Library Tapes will be touring Europe in Winter 2011 with Wild Dogs In Winter, who achieved best demo accolades from Fat Cat (Sigur Ros, Max Richter, V/Vm, Hauschka) with their inaugural EP. I bought six of David's CDs after he performed at St. Michael's Church. Auetic is pure DIY.
03:52 / 07:45 Naomi Klein - Doing My Best To Blend In / Treat Me As An Old Friend (The Shock Doctrine: The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism, read by Jennifer Wiltzie, 2008)
What gives 'The Shock Doctrine' early charm, is easily readable prose. I rarely study paperbacks, so that's where audiobooks are great. Naomi excluded, antiquated 'education' should be left to patronising academics.
03:53 Steve Roach - Something In Tears (Quiet Music, Fortuna, 1988)
03:54 Greg Haines vs. Grouper - Where It's Tired (Slumber Tides, Miasmah, 2006 / Way Their Crept, Type, 2007)
04:05 Godflesh - Flowers (Merciless, Earache, 1994)
04:16 / 07:37 / 07:50 PJ Harvey - Too Close To Home / My Biggest Fear / Purposefully (interview, BBC, 1995)
04:24 Stephen Fry - Self-Pity (The Secret Life Of The Manic Depressive, BBC 2 Documentary, 2007)
"I almost wanted, once, to publish a self-help book saying 'How to be happy' by Stephen Fry. 'Guaranteed success'. And people buy this huge book and it´s all blank pages and the first page would just say 'Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy. Use the rest of the book to write down your interesting thoughts and drawings'. That´s what the book would be and it would be true."
Regularly tormenting yourself with insecurity, paranoia and untrustworthiness via the internet is disingenous, moreover if you resign. A good female friend I met through the web restored balance in late 2010: "Whether you are male or female, if you are manipulative, opportunistic and selfish, you're a wanker and you don't deserve friends until you can earn them, end of. When I was younger I used to be impressed by successful or just plain confident people. Now I'm older, and thoughtfulness and humility are the only traits I look for in people I want to spend my time with."
Cognitive self-help is useful, and if several didn't cry out, we'd lose them. A heavily publicised death in the Drum & Bass scene after 2000 was Graham March, who produced as Desimal. He suffered intolerable schizophrenia, and tragically committed suicide at 26. Such situations are increasingly common, and serve as a reminder that if loss doesn't happen today, harsh truth arises - it could happen at any other time.
04:41 Bvdub - Descent To The End (The Art Of Dying Alone, Glacial Movements, 2010)
TDD's interview with Alessandro Tedeschi (Netherworld, GM owner) was pending in 2007, but he had his hands full. Rameses III's Spencer Grady did a good job in December 2010 for Dust magazine, Rock'a'Rolla before him. Exceeding four articles online previously, mainly in Italian. Discovered thanks to Jim Haynes' review of Mick Harris' "Like A Slow River" as Lull. Here I'll focus on dropping Brock Van Wey's "The Art Of Dying Alone", an accessible, characteristically glacial record that ditches completely isolationist approaches in favour of sweeter, changeable melody.
04:59 / 06:54 Chef, Kyle & Cartman - Come With Us (Timmy 2000, South Park Episode 51, 2000)
05:01 Genesis - Silent Sorrow In Empty Boats (The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Charisma, 1974)
05:04 Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmonson - How Interesting! (Bottom Series Two Episode One, BBC 2, 1992)
If you've actually read this far, here's the catch. "I am the magnificent Tarzan; I don't address my faults". Nope. Seems lots are happy to do that. Later like breeds like, and we end up with more Tarzans, less steadfastness. Critically, everything smells. It could just be that we're sitting next to Chris Moyles - something's got to give with all those organic lettuce leafs. I've found five minutes signal for alienation, needed to set up the best YouTube misogynist I saw in 2010, and you get to hear a great Genesis tune, far removed from the prog later castigated into pub rock.
05:19 The Residents - Act Of Being Polite (The Commercial Album, Pre Records, 1980)
05:23 Marble Still - Defying The Purpose (Marble Talks About Girls, Noble Television, 2010)
05:34 Burial - Etched Headplate (Untrue, Hyperdub, 2007)
Jonathan Tait wrote for his Subvert Podcast (Episode 15): "drum and bass follows the trajectory of post punk to a large degree." Dubstep is a temporary future of what d&b arranged, and what post punk collectively influenced. For sonic invention, see Loefah. Unique voices in a crumbling infrastructure - Hessle Audio, Naked Lunch. Mount Kimbie and James Blake are your 'post' suffix. Unlike a lot of punk, and post-drum & bass - labelled clownstep, drumstep ("what more amazing genres can we make?"), the trend is producing original sounds. Until it fellates itself within an inch. So, here's Residents merged with dubstep's biggest breakthrough, album of 2007 on countless lists.
Gracing "Etched Headplate", 'crepped' youth Marble has a lot of angst. But contrasting your average bedroom MC, there's wisdom. Expect caustic wit only a pisstaking evangelist can offer, underpinned with those lusty autotuned vocals.
Tait also sent SC Vol.1 to Philip Sherburne six years ago, with the possibility of a review in Wire's Critical Beats section. "I got a friendly response, and then no response at all. Posting about it on Dissensus probably didn't help there" he told me in our 2008 interview. To be fair to Philip, Wire and Jon, you can't discern everything. But when the sole recognisable riposte is another staffer's mention of Photek's "Form" sequel, far past Rupert's groundbreaking period, sacred Picasso impressionism becomes additive for ASDA ready meals: undernourishing, unhealthy, and vain. Still, at least Naphta's "Long Time Burning" was featured. Even if it was misappropriated to the dub column.
"I think he wants a serious relationship rather than a one-night stand."

07:26 / 07:55 / 08:15 / 09:35 L-R & Radiomentale - I Could Never Make That Music Again: Instrumental / Through Accident Or Disease / Outsiders / Attachment (I Could Never Make That Music Again, Sub Rosa, 2007)
Try listening to this LP from start to end. Throughout "Silence", I've adapted its multiple spoken nuances.
07:41 Paradigm X - We Both Are Lost (We Both Are Lost EP, UK Trends, 2010)
08:03 Mary Anne Hobbs - Forge A Path Of Your Own Making (Feeder.ro interview, video to audio conversion, 2008))
08:12 ASC - The Touch [Vaccine remix feat. Riya] (Auxilliary 001, Auxilliary, 2010)
09:44 Kanye West - Yo Taylor (video to audio conversion, MTV, 2010)
09:51 Gavan Navan's Fusion Futurz - You Sound Slightly Drunk (Beckett, SC Podcast 022, 2006)
Paradigm X assembled SC's 60x60 project with Jason oS, which was highest voted by Starfrosch.de aggregator when released. It comprised sixty one-minute tunes of any style. Paradigm mastered Exegene's "Noise Corrosion" CD in 2006, another non-profit exercise spawned from Subvert Central.
Mary Anne was a marmite broadcaster, and used to write for NME when it wasn't ostrich. After Radio 1 Experimental ceasing, 1Xtra's DJ Flight was proposed to take her role. Hobbs currently works as a lecturer.
James and Christine Clements operate on dubstep's fringe, but make fairly conventional tracks that nail the headphones/dancefloor tagline. ASC ran drum & bass label Covert Operations, on a subscription basis, for over two years, putting out plenty of highlights: Cryo's "Girls And Their Demons", Vector Burn's remix of Mav's "Atomic Collision" via a CD split with Warm Communications (see lower tempo offshoot Pushing Red), and ASC's own "Forcefield".
His appearances on dBridge & Instra:Mental's NonPlus+, the Autonomic podcasts, and Vaccine's minimix for Mary Anne in 2007, garnered greatest reaction. Intex Systems, James' defunct alias, crossed from American leftfield d&b stable Offshore, to Covert as a Future Sound Of London-inspired Electronica CD - "Research And Development" - which many regard as his best album. Mindspan, an excellent minimal Techno project with a Covert LP, disappeared up until 2012 with "The Second Cycle", however "Conversations", from an unreleased Mindspan collection "Headspace", made a cameo under the ASC moniker on "Nothing Is Certain".
You'll subsequently find an ASC vignette in 60x60, Vaccine doing live PA's around San Diego and beyond, and a multitude of guest mixes, such as "The Morning After: A Techmospherics Retrospective" for TDD's second zine. James' 'Deep Space' mix series is up to 19, and today he writes music for soundtracks, too: "Liquid Cinema: Music For Pictures" is hitherto featured.
As for Kanye West: a redeeming moment. He should write a book with the byline "How to be geenious and still make a million dollars", ghostwritten by Cognac activists. He's joined by Irish 'discotheque engineer' Ignatius Merangue (formerly Gavan Navan).
