Far beyond the folk form I found the ultimate sound The golden chord The most merciless sound around They’re living on my lyrics like a damn insect Merciless At the counter Underneath the flyover It’s written all over my body This desire for the salty black plastic The slates pinned like fresh fish to the wall above the heads of the dub vendors of Ladbroke Grove who sold without speaking tilting their eyes and nodding their heads seeing right through me until the half hour of initiation had passed music at their pleasure and you never heard it better from another source ever after Then an ear to my mouth and my voice comes out pale and needy “Glen Browne, Assack Lawn No. 1 Dub” A tribute to the mighty sound makers of the king’s town Blow the words into my mouth The gutter of words A mine of shining coals Burning fire in the throat From the depths below Run come turn the wheel That spins the plate Are you living in my ear? A parasite eating on my blood Hearing drums in my tongue They’re living on my lyrics like a damn insect

about

The second ditchburn album.

These three were conceived, anachronistically it seems, as self-contained wholes, not as collections of tracks. If you find this stuff interesting, and can find the time in your busy schedule, try listening from beginning to end.
