Sting
The Bridge

Crocodile or Real? A ghost dub broadcast shaped from a special K.Over-ripe bananas and quaaludes, looking across the concrete at screeching burn outs resonating into echo-streaked good morning sunshine. Beat a zig zag serpentine passage, and drift towards solid ground on the platform, are you coming down? Ported and stacked, slip into a stuttering seventh dub. Alarm bells and scattering footsteps in the carriage, that is ugly (what’s going on?) Space liquid danger waters, sink or swim, float forward inside out, Queens Park conga, last train (to Glasgow Central). Perfect storm clouds, take a beat dub cut-up bud, splash it out.

German singer, actress and model Nico worked between Berlin, Paris and Rome in her youth. She appeared in a number of films and after meeting Brian Jones recorded her first single, produced by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham. She also used to hang out with Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground, so was a key part of the art scene in those decades. Now, Modern Harmonic reissue her Drama Of Exlie album forty years after its initial release. It is a gloriously gloomy yet uplifting fusion of new wave, art rock and goth that pairs brilliant 80s production, guitars and her own vocals in perfect fashion.
