Hi everyone - what you all think of the new Mill's album? Just listening to it at the moment and it's going down very well indeed - reminds me of "From the 21st" (my favourite "home listening" Mills album) in places. Lot's of incredibly solid, menacing Bass Drums and hypnotic ticking Hi Hats (why is it when I do a straight 16's Closed 909 Hi Hat it sounds rubbish and when Mills does it, it sounds hypnotic????) and spaced out chords floating about all over the place.
I forgot to mention, in an attempt to out do Anya at Bleep 43, Rubadub have Jeff Mills playing here in at the Sub Club in Glasgow on my 40th (July 23rd if you want to send flowers, cards etc) - the venue holds about 300-400 people and he rarely gets a chance to play in such intimate surroundings here so we're looking forward to it. He's promised to do something pretty special (juggling, kniting??) and is playing for three hours . The only downside is that as it's a Significant Birthday for me it's unlikely I'll be able to remember a thing the next day so he could be playing a set of Euro Trance Bangers and I wouldn't know the difference. The first batch of tickets sold out in three days but there will be a second batch at the start of July and a small amount kept by on the door. As well as my birthday, it's Rubadub's 18th birthday too (Legal to drink at last!!) and the launch of our new website too so I'll keep ya'll informed as things develop. cheers Jason
