"While I was recently traveling through Eastern Europe recently , I passed through an area of
industrial decline that reminded me strongly of the devastation of the Industrial heartlands
of the UK during the early Thatcher years.The broken windows and twisted metal of the abandoned
warehouses, the derelict pit-heads and the ruined factories all brought back memories of that
grim time when the divide between rich and poor was never so obvious. Yet amongst the derelict
factories and the red-brick estates of the North of England new music and art sprang forth as
if driven by the desolate conditions. Out of the darkness came forth beauty in many forms.
Wasteland raga is a remembrance of those times when art and politics held close and intertwined
out of a real sense of purpose and unity. Now we have the bland unoriginal days of New Labour
and the suits , bland self-satisfied music, and the crassness of yet another bad "art
installation" in a "city of culture". Passing through the derelict wastelands of Industrial
decline in Eastern Europe I was touched with nostalgia for a time when there was a sense
of "us and them"
Art has stuck it's fat lazy arse on the side of the suits and the money men.
Viva revolution!!!"
