“Deepening the River is in the first instance about Glasgow, its citizens, its diverse communities, its complex history, its collective consciousness, and its international reputation throughout history. The music is intended to invite an exploration of a multitude of themes based around Glasgow’s people, history, and culture…”

Both artists highly underrated I’d suggest & I have a large collection of them both.
I’d suggest posting that also over in soul/r&b/funk section or even the hip hop, (even though it’s not hip hop), where it may get some love. It’s just an album full of amazing sample worthy ‘beats’.
Did anybody get that far? When it first aired it was rather new idea I thought and sort of dragged me in. But then…it never stopped. I can’t recall how far I got through it, but I was a long lost viewer by the time it ended.
I’ll be fair though, I’m not a big tv watcher, so it’s far from unusual I’ll start something & not get far. I don’t have any form of paid tv…free to air has way too much choice (of not much) for me as it is.
I don’t watch much TV but Mrs. Dozer persuaded me to watch GOT. I enjoyed immensely at first, and actually reached the end of the thing. Writing quality fell away as they ran out of original source, and had to compress time relative to early series. By series seven folk just turned up wherever they wanted in a world that seemed vast at first.
I didn’t watch this but I get the impression that the series name came to reflect the state of the writers. TV kills hit series by spinning them out to milk the cash cow, forcing writers to make it up as they go along. Finally the shows appeal wanes, execs cancel at short notice and writers are forced to wrap up with unseemly haste. In fact it’s not just modern TV, here’s the archetypal take on commercial pressures dictating story pacing:
Twin Peaks is one that upset me on it’s original showing and put me off TV some.
If you like the Anchoress, her last album “In memory of my feelings” with Bernard Butler and released under her own name (Catherine An Davies) is also worth a listen.
Start the morning with Valerie June’s debut, this week’s release has prompted me to go back to these. More Appalachian on this one but still a varied mix but that’s no bad thing.
