The Future Sounds Of London Sound The Beginning Of Spring


Okay, so we’ve still got a little while until it’s official, but daylight saving time has put the fever in me early as usual. And since we’ve had a bit of a rave flashback day today, there are few dance tracks more spring-esque (to me) than Future Sounds Of London’s sublimely chill 1991 anthem “Papua New Guinea,” featuring some wordless ululatin’ by Dead Can Dance’s Lisa Gerrard that screams (well, kinda sigh-moans) “late-afternoon sun” to this UV-starved homebody. I hope to shortly be listening to it under that very late-afternoon sun, but if you’re stuck at your desk for a while longer, you can watch the trip-into-CGI-kitsch video and pretend your coffee/Red Bull/Coke Zero is a smart drink, maybe.

Braun pretty much perfected the design of the analog alarm clock back in the 1970s. Those classic Dietrich Lubs designs, like the travel-size AB1A, were everything a bedside gadget should be: dependable, discreet and crystal clear in its intentions.

    This song, Orbital’s “In Sides” album, and some Freestyle are all I need to get my spring going.

    FSOL and Meat Beat Manifesto were the two best things about the early 1990s IMO.

    Ah, hell. Let’s start a chill out room.

    This song reminds me of the nerdy time that I flipped out at the Academic Decathlon because the nerdy jackwads that ran it totally ripped off the cover of Accelerator for their promotional keychains.
