Hello, the F1 season starts this weekend with wide tired cars that corner faster but those techies fucked up again, they made it considerably more difficult to overtake, it's imbecilic! Looking at the grid for tomorrow Ferrari got closer to Mercedes but the rest are way back 2.3 sec for no 9 on the grid with Red Bull as 3rd team in no man's land 1.3 sec back on Hamilton's pole lap. Maybe Vettel can give him some fightback but it looks like a dire season ahead, Mercedes are killing the show they are still too powerful....

Ambient Soho was a record shop in London’s Berwick Street that was run by Rocket (who was also the artist Further previously here) that specialised in ambient music in the early 90s. They released a couple of limited edition EPs in 1996, from which today’s tracks are taken. The shop closed in the later 90s but the label set up to release the music – Worm Interface – is still operating today. Do go and visit and buy something.  The featured artist is Dunderhead. An odd name for an ambient act. But there you go. Turns out it was Nigel Smith. In this incarnation, he produced some dreamy jazz-influenced ambient – a genre now sadly overlooked.

2001 Ambient Soho was forced to close due to development and lived on for a few more months in side of Dragon Discs in Camden (also owned by Rocket) When Dragon Discs closed Both shops were combined and went on to be a Festival Pop up shop known as Records Rock Selling new and used vinyl at many of the uk festivals notably Green Man Big Chill Glastonbury and many more.This has been going on for the last 12 years in September 2013 a new premises was found and reopened as Vinyl at 4 Tanners Hill. SE84PJ in Deptford 10 mins walk from Greenwich and New Cross there is a Coffee Bar, Gallery and record shop. Vinyldeptford.co.uk

Everything is working now I think. I didn't know of Ambient Soho Record Store. It is surprising to me that a record store could survive just by selling ambient and albums with low BPMs. Thank you for the information Rho.
