Sad to hear William Orbit has died. He played a part in so many hits of the 90s… from Madonna, All Saints, Blur, Beth Orton, Finlay Quaye to U2.
Always adored Bassomatic’s ‘Fascinating Rhythm’. Farewell to a producer extraordinaire.

“Come Undone” is the second single from Duran Duran’s 1993 album Duran Duran (commonly known as The Wedding Album). Written by Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor, and Warren Cuccurullo, the atmospheric pop-rock ballad became one of the band's biggest comeback hits, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #13 on the UK Singles Chart.
The track's distinct, layered sound emerged from experimental sessions in the band's mobile studio, with John Taylor's funky bassline and the haunting backing vocals of session singer Tessa Niles playing key roles in shaping its atmosphere. The album was nicknamed The Wedding Album because its artwork featured wedding photographs of the band members.
@bushontheradio Recently bought this on dvd, remember watching at school many moons ago and having nightmares about the tall thin man!, dark towers also around a similar time!
Henry Mancini plays the iconic Pink Panther Theme in 1983, with Plas Johnson, the original saxophone soloist who recorded the song, and the Terry Gibbs band.
It’s 34 years to the day since the greatest sideshow in football history took place:
The Rumbelows Sprint Challenge final.
Eight players in full kit, on a 100m Wembley grass track, with Alan Parry and Steve Cram on comms.
Absolutely magnificent stuff.
