handsoff 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2009 I watched part of the TV version of the First Night of the Proms on Friday and amongst a lot of inane chat from Clive Anderson there was a short piece about a new composition by someone called Goldie. The person talking to Goldie, the name of whom I forget, said that the only "thing" he had heard that was louder than Goldie's drum and bass* was the organ in the Royal Albert Hall. This comment was accompanied by a note or two from BWV 565. I do hope that Mr Mander is delighted with this comparison . *I believe that "drum and bass" is the sound usually heard coming from a Renault Clio dressed in a party frock driven by a nodding oaf dressed inter alia in a white baseball cap. Maybe I should buy a subwoofer for my car's hi-fi and drive around behind aforementioned Clio with a recording from the RAH organ blasting out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I should buy a subwoofer fro my car hi-fi and drive around behind aforementioned Clio with a recording from the RAH organ blasting out I have been known to do just this - though the recordings are usually from other organs!
