What better way to start these transmissions than with this, erm, 1st transmission (geddit?.) A slice of surrealism from the criminally underrated Earthling. For me it's the musical and lyrical predecessor to Roots Manuva's surreal and funny flow – turning hip hop bluster on its head, as in
“I'm rock,I'm roll, I'm Nat King Cole
I'm Shostakovich standing in a fish bowl”.
Nice Rod Stewart sample, too...
