If it's on myspace, it must be true.

Didn't someone here once say he/she would make one? Maybe it was a documentary...?
I would pick that up for sure. I wonder if you could pick out when he started turning to rubbish?

seems like a cool idea... i just REALLY hope it's equally weighted on all of the other eras in his life and not so much on just recent stuff (i.e. the release of A Lively Mind and how he wanted to work with an unknown singer... i'm much more interested in his earlier stuff... as i would imagine most people are).
i like the idea on the accompanied 2xCD! I think it would be very difficult to pinpoint 30 or so tracks, though, that would capture his life as a DJ...

there's got to be at least a couple bored people.

Picking the two CDs would not be hard for him. - Universal Nation - Butterfly - Viola - Just another Day ...the songs that he canned on almost all his mix CDs back in the day. What he really needs to do is a "Back to Mine" album. |

Dang, i might actually read a book in a while now..
Just got this and been reading it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Detailed coverage of his hip-hop and balearic days, including a much, much, much more detailed version of the "Four friends go to Ibiza in 1987 and bring back rave culture" story than has ever been told before anywhere, ever.
On the downside, the paper stock the book is printed on is so poor the ink practically rubs off in your hands, and it comes with a CD -- which is just a bloody sampler for A Lively Mind! 
It can be ordered from www.amazon.co.uk still isn't up yet on on amazon .com's main site, for you non-Brits out there (most of you 
)
Author: Richard Norris (should help if you go search for it to buy it)
does the book explain why he can't beatmatch for the life of him?
