Everyone is going somewhere or coming back. Transportation has long been a theme in music. We sing about what we do. As good a place to hang a mix as any when you are trying to avoid work as I am! Do not expect good geography on this trip. We will be flung back and forwards between the four corners of the Earth. (Why do they still say that, I thought we had decided the thing was round a while back!) Doirect routes take a back seat as music takes the wheel!

Track Description:
"Train time" has always fascinated me. I find the rythym to be hypnotic, and it relaxes me, just like actually being on a long train ride does. Full of fun, AND ambient before it's time. As the journey begins, I doze off, and find myself in an electronic dreamworld...

We haven't been to sea much on this cockeyed journey of ours, so maybe a song about ships woukld suit as well at this stage. As for the music (oh yes, the music) I can recall the excitement with which I pu5rchased this album, one of the last vinyls I ever bought. I can never quite understand why many of my musical heroes are not embraced by that many people, but it is kind of fun as well.
