Simon, I hope you’ll forgive the complete change of subject, but, as I didn’t see you at Electric Spring back in February I’ll ask the question I was meaning to ask then: have you had a chance to listen to Mark Simpson’s The Immortal yet, and, if so, is it something that might feature on the blog in future (maybe as part of a series), or were you insufficiently taken with it?
Heading back a little more “on-topic”, at the aforementioned festival I caught a live performance of two movements from this, advance copies of which were on sale outside the venue – well worth investigating, given that I know you’ve enjoyed Adkins’s stuff in the past.
Chris, i was sorry not to be at Electric Spring – i got my diary a little mixed-up and in the end it really wasn’t a good time for me to get away (in general, finding time to write 5:4 isn’t easy at the moment), so that was a shame. i’m sure the festival was fascinating. Regarding Monty’s new album, Empreintes Digitales emailed a few days ago to say a copy was on its way to me, so i’ll be reviewing that in due course; really looking forward to hearing it.
i haven’t listened to The Immortal yet, but it’s very high on my To Do list.
