The end of November marks the end of an era, as Edinburgh based station Tak Tent Radio sadly closes down. I have contributed many mixes to them over the years, on subjects as diverse as dreams, Afro-Funk, Rockabilly, natural disasters, etc and my final one is on INSECTS. The Garden of Earthly Delights mixes will carry on of course without subscription on my Mixcloud page. Meanwhile I hope you dig this Skylarking groove!

Never really got into 'There There' from Hail at the Thief until I saw them play it live.
The energy build up to the full drums and guitar crashing in (at about 3:50 in this live version) are an exercise in dynamics and restraint. Powerful arrangement.
