In 2016 Tim Burgess (Charlatan) put out an album he'd recorded with Peter Gordon (Love Of Life Orchestra and Arthur Russell collaborator). It was a funny record, full of hidden treasure- synths, drum machines, saxophone and Tim's sweetly sung vocals. This remix of the opening song by Carter Tutti (formerly Chris and Cosey and of Throbbing Gristle) is lovely, gliding by, leaving you better than it found you.
It was on free download on Soundcloud for a while but isn't any more (but you might find it here).

When all is said and done, I think I enjoyed 'Same Language Different Worlds' more than the most recent Charlatans effort.
I think I need to read that book...
John Clellon Holmes wrote 'Go', an account of his friendship with Jack Kerouac which is well worth reading. And he's credited with first use of the phrase Beat generation. I think Beat Boys was a cash-in novel.
I hope that wasn't mansplaining....
I've read Go and the Horn which I preferred but didn't venture any further.
Same Language Different Worlds is a brilliant album and this remix is just wonderful.
Can't offer any thoughts on the book....but liking the song a lot.
Really liked that. Although it's very different from his previous solo stuff, and not immediately my bag, I found myself really drawn in. No disrespect to his day job, but I'm starting to think Tim does more interesting stuff now by himself.
