"Nobody can underestimate the world changing impact that The Beatles had on my generation. It was so powerful and revolutionary. It enabled us all to see the possibility of picking up a guitar and expressing ourselves in any way you wanted. And they were the pioneers of change and innovation. They were symbolic in the sense that we were all looking for something new and they provided it. When I heard Please Please Me, it was like it was from another world. This album represents the beginning, when they had been playing clubs and were first capturing that creative energy and raw vocals. This was the bare naked, early origin of many of these artists in this piece of music and I loved it. Of course, they went on to do many things after that, but this was the kernel, the seed of what they were to do later."

"It's how I found out about Delia Derbyshire, and then through this I got into Unit Delta Plus. I've always been amazed to find out how much music from that time period I haven't heard. When I first heard this I couldn't believe that something that creative and ground breaking would be so under the radar, but I guess there was a lot of competition in 1969... I think this is one of my favourite albums now, once I'd heard it once I listened to it back to back about 50 times. It's one of the most experimental albums I've heard, even to this day. It took about five years to make, and they had some kind of sponsorship from EMS synthesisers and they use the EMS Synthi VCS3. It's the most collectible synth, the one I don't have. I know Mike Diamond from the Beastie Boys has one…"

Movie Rating Watch

A 17-year-old girl suffers from a condition that prevents her from being out in the sunlight.

I was left a wreck after watching this. It's totally unbelievable and sickly sweet, but who care about that? As with everything, I would guess that some creative license was taken with XP and how it affects those that have it. But I'd also imagine that the emotions expressed in the film are nearer the mark.

The first half of the movie passed by as another teen romance with a twist, but it wasn't until the sunrise scene that I really felt this movie.

Up until that point in the movie it was funny and uplifting. It's a wonderful romance, even though as I mentioned, completely far fetched. But that's why we go to these sorts of movies isn't it? Why would we want the every day?
