Where there's cheesy 80's music, there's undoubtedly a synthesizer somewhere in the mix..

Introduction I recently joined a Facebook group, "The Canterbury Scene", and they are extremely engaging and have been very welcoming when I have posted there, so I thought I would make a playlist of some of my favourite songs by Canterbury-related artists. You can check the group out here:

Understanding Spotify Playlists:
Over the years of helping independent artists promote their music, I’ve gained a solid understanding of how Spotify works behind the scenes. It’s a complex system that can be confusing, especially if you’re expecting immediate results from playlist placements or promotions. That’s why I want to take a moment to explain how it all works — and how you can use it to your advantage as an artist.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 15. Top Story - June 2025.
Written and directed by Brian Grant, the video poltergeists around in the Gabriel headspace, beginning with him carrying super-secret MKUltra files into an office, before breaking down under the psychic weight of his examination. By what, exactly? He bends at the slatted boards of a wall, his hands placed in a pyramidal position, to ward out the increasing "light" of this inspection. We must be inside the Peter Gabriel subconscious, riding with him as he jumps the express train out on his trip through conscious awareness.

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 14
"I'm the last man talking to the first machine. And I don't know which one of us is real." — Unknown Everyone knows already that robots are superior, far superior to mankind: and damn if they don't smell better. Furthermore, robots are going to rise up, like in Karel Čapek's classic 1920 science fiction play R.U.R., and destroy Western civilization quicker than you can say "Great Satan." Furthermore, robot chicks do it better, baby, particularly if they're covered in breathable latex. Can you think of another partner to be with who can, quite literally, turn on "vibrate" mode at the drop of the proverbial switch?

London-based producer Andrew Dynamite is an artist who thrives on duality — the past and future, analog and digital, memory and imagination. His newly released album, Stardust (June 1, 2025), is a shimmering, synth-laden journey that channels the golden age of Japanese City Pop while pushing the boundaries of what electronic music can be in the modern era.

Isabel (You Are My Mother)
In 2024 I wrote about 30+ lyrics for songs I would create using AI and digital tools. Somewhere within those 30+ the thought came to me that my mom deserves to be memorialized in song. She is an amazing person. Yes, I am biased but the lady truly is wonderful. She has done a lot of things to help others but first and foremost she has been one great mom. She and I have always had a very close relationship.

Does Twelve Inches Satisfy You?
Introduction In the 1970s, the vinyl record industry faced a shortage due to the oil crisis of 1973, which led to increased costs for the raw materials used to produce vinyl records. This resulted in thinner, less durable records being produced and, in some cases, delays or cutbacks in new releases. The shortage also impacted the quality of records, with some labels opting for cheaper pressing materials to reduce costs.

Rainbow Dome Musick
Introduction I have always loved Steve Hillage, first hearing him as guitarist with Gong, and his first solo album "Fish Rising" is an absolute favourite of mine, but "Rainbow Dome Music" was a low-priced transparent vinyl release which I bought but couldn't remember too much about it.
