The segment runs from 0:32:40 to 1:12:40. Good to see a bass player getting such good coverage.

Youth isn't "ex Killing Joke" anymore, he's been playing & recording with them since 1994's "Democracy" album.

I caught some of that. Very interesting although I hadn't been into the Orb much hitherto.  I was impressed that he's collaborated withJah Wobble - one of my bass heroes! I'll have to look into Youth and his output a bit more.

(p.s. I love some of the stuff on radio 6. As long as they aren't going on about band t-shirts all the time!! Could give a toss about t-shirts - most of them aren't cut for women anyway.)

Yup. Band T-shirts come in three sizes - skeleton, footy fan beer gut and tent 😊

Thanks for this, excellent.

Not heard the clip yet but Youth  also founded the first psy trance label, Dragonfly,  As a fan of the genre I thought I'd point this out even if no one else is interested 😊
