in which horsemouth makes claims to fame

yesterday was the anniversary of the release of the brown album by orbital in 1993. there's a certain  track (lush 3-1) featuring  a certain guitarist (entering at 2.58 under cover of some double time hi-hats).  paul and phil make horsemouth's guitar sound amazing (like a berimbau in fact) - horsemouth was majorly inspired by the headhunters 'you got it, you get it' at the time, he recorded them his classic ascending soukous solo (but they mustn't have been in to it). 

horsemouth gets a credit on the next track lush 3-2  as well, apparently his guitar part was used to gate or filter another part and there seem to be guitars on some of the remixes of lush - these may be horsemouth, he can't remember. the DAT of horsemouth's playing went off to the remixers (so who knows). 

there we have it ladies and gentlemen - horsemouth's claim to fame. 

horsemouth would also include for your attention his playing on crow road by mickey mann (aka. pressure of speech and orbital's sound engineer at that time). horsemouth does a bluesy slide riff on a guitar in standard tuning (again it's another great effects treatment of his part).  later in the song he does some scrapping of his guitar slide on the guitar strings to impersonate the sound of crows (inspired by adrian belew). 

horsemouth at the time was less appreciative of this music and the scene than he should have been. he had his own fish to fry (or so he thought). 

somewhat later but on the same day in 2015 (on our curatorial timeline) and horsemouth and howard are recording noah round at howard's. horsemouth finally gets to use his ascending soukous solo. 

horsemouth also got to use an ascending soukous solo on his recording with enza and suke but suke doesn't have time to push that forward right now (so it's on the backburner). horsemouth is proud of his part (and will have to work out how to move the song forward so that he will get to hear it). 

horsemouth spent some time in the day singing amarach. it would be good to have a set for midsummer that represented musicians of bremen  more accurately than horsemouth's heavily biased towards volume 3  solo live set. 

last night a meeting of the communal endeavour which horsemouth thought went well. doubtless he is storing up problems for himself later by not dealing with the game of thrones now. 

back on this day in 1871 the paris commune has fallen. goncourt is out and about;

'all day long, the guns and rifles have gone on firing. I spent the day walking round the ruins of auteil, where the damage and destruction is sucha as might have been caused by a whirlwind...

paris is decidedly under a curse! after a drought lasting a whole month, there is now a wind of hurricane force blowing across the burning city.'
