-si- The breakdown at 4 mins 30 seconds really hits you in the feels. Like something from a peak time ’98 sasha set…

The whole thing sounds like a breakdown - of the mental sort.

    Wow that is truely horrendous. I don’t know how long it takes to make a track, but just imagine after the many hours of coming up with this, you listen and think “yep I want to realise that to the public”. the bloke has lost the plot.

    Looking forward to hearing the whole album

    One of prog’s biggest disappointments is Holden.

    And now a purveyor of absolute racket.

      The last time I saw Holden he was playing a festival around 2007. I remember thinking “the kick drums are almost nonexistent.” We made our way up to the front and discovered that he was being yelled at by a bunch of the crowd. Holden was acting like it was the funniest thing EVA; laughing, clapping his hands, pointing at people ex ex… Like a year later I read an interview of his where he said something like “I love when people as me to play harder. I quickly turn the bass eq down and reach for my most annoying records. Thom York agrees with this approach” or something like this. It all instantly made sense. Completely binned him off at that time and am all the better for it.

      I think the difference between Holden and Thom Yorke is about 20 million quid.

        Holden made the mistake of turning his back on the progressive lifestyle, and then his brain prolapsed.

          He could have been the new DJ Tennis.

          What a looser.

          Holden I’m talking about, not Millsy.

          I’ll never forget how everyone and their mothers couldn’t stop raving about his At The Controls mix, only to come back a year later to say it was noisy rubbish.

          Smallman1 It’s basically Sasha’s Fundamental (or Bloodlock?) remade by someone battered on mushrooms.

            Did somebody say ‘blatant self promotion’?

            Don’t believe anyone did, no

            Smallman1 Incredibly he played at the Medicine Bar (remember that?) and waved half of his fee one night for my mate who’d booked him as he was into what they were doing. Good job too as he couldn’t mix a vodka and orange.

                Remember Holden playing the Soundshaft at Bedrock and me quite enjoying it. Was the start of the Border Community stuff so the tunes were good and I was absolutely spangle dangled which would have helped.

                  Dan Good job too as he couldn’t mix a vodka and orange.

                  Lol!

                    Do remember the Medicine Bar, saw Carl Craig there.

                    Not the best night I’ve ever had.

                    Millsy Yup. I was there also and it was good, but his set at slide at the zodiac in oxford was truly truly appalling

                      Got Holden down as an anti-vaxxer.

                      Cheers!

                      Going by his appearance seems the sort that covid would ravage.

                      Watched him live once, the mixing was dire, the track selection not so bad. But he was extremely approachable at the end of the night, and just seemed like a very sweet guy. Letting the punters come in and mess around with his gear and having a laugh.

                      He also ended with this, which is an absolute banger… always goes down hard on a club system:
