Music trivia.

**White trash** · 24th September 2005, 13:46

I'm bored and relaxed at the same time, so I thought I'd throw on a CD I haven't listened to for ages.

It's a guy named Ed Alleyne-Johnson, very soothing and different style of music to what I traditionaly listen to.

So, why don't you give the google website a bit of a rev up and see particularly what Mr Alleyne-Johnson is famous (or not so) for. It's quite amazing, he's the John Britten of his field.

Rep points for first answer that relates to what I'm talking about.

Fuck. This is taking longer than I thought.

MSTRS or PaulNZ would be on the ball with this I'd imagine.

**froggyfrenchman** · 24th September 2005, 14:19

well? did i win?

Being truthfull now, did you know it or look it up? Fan-fucken-tastic piece of musical engineering. Everyone who tried, eventually gave up saying, "Nope. You can not build an elctric violin."

Amazing sound.

Ahhhhhh *nods in agreement*, now I se the mullet thing working.

I'm much the same, although there's no way in hell I would have even looked at this if my Dad hadn't told me about it.

Got any Sky in your music collection? That shit still knocks my socks off.

cant say i do, owe my taste in music and love of bikes to my strange stepfather. As best i can tell, the mullet is the only haircut that comes close to fitting my personaliality

Saw him live, supporting right-on hippie-punk group New Model Army. Must be 10 years ago now. He played violin on several of their records, as well.
