  1. @alicefrieren Erm... Is it not clear that this is an actual photograph, and the technique used was a few million years of tectonic activity and erosion...? :)

    The title refers to a passage from the Bible. I'm not religious, but it sometimes helps to take a "god's eye view" of things/landscapes to appreciate them more... Also see here for an old beautiful Persian legend with a similar context/insight (avid fans of Coldcut/Ninjatune might recognize the sample this was taken from):

    "Now those people who fly have a different point of view of the world from the people who spend their whole life on the ground.

    Don Blanding wrote a poem once when he was flying, and he called his poem "The God's Eye View", and he said it was so different from the view he always had on the ground, which he called "The Bug's Eye View".

    Now I thought about that "Bug's Eye View" when I was over in Teheran in Persia. They told me an old Persian legend. It was about a bug who spent his entire life in the world's most beautifully designed Persian rug. All the bug ever saw in his lifetime was his problems. They stood up all around him. He couldn't see over the top of them, and he had to fight his way through these tufts of wool in the rug to find some crumbs somebody had spilled.

    And the tragedy of the story of the bug in the rug was this:
    He lived and he died in the world's most beautifully designed rug, but he never once knew that he spent his life in something which had a pattern.

    That's why I want you to get up in the air tonight, to see something the old bug couldn't see in the rug. Because even he, this bug, if he had once got above the rug so he could have seen all of it, he would have discovered something - that the very things he called his problems were a part of the pattern."

  6. Very specific question: People who have #Coldcut's "Let Us Replay" remix album, how long is the first track, "Atomic Moog 2000 (Cornelius Mix)"? 4:30 or 7:20? I'm pretty sure the current version on Apple music is not as originally released.

    I really don't like it when music streamers confuse musicians, tracks, versions, etc; just give it to me exactly as released please.

  7. G-Nitro’s Daily Music Wrap-Up – 11/27/25

    I check out a Coldcut album. For Throwback Thursday I check out Double's debut album, and 2 albums by Blümchen.

    Favorite Videos include siso's LCDC Live, Ayane live, and more!

  8. "People hold on" - Coldcut featuring Lisa Stansfield

    Lisa's the star of the show, with a dapper grey jacket and no hat; the camera finds her and doesn't want to let go. No surprise, when Mr. Coldcut next to her has a big bucket hat and silly shades.

    This remains a superlative soul vocal, exactly where we'd hope house music would end up.

    And if there are any snowmen in the studio: melt.

  9. So Matt Black from Coldcut has been working with us the last two days, pretty cool, I've used Coldcut records A LOT over the years, they were pioneers in providing tools for DJ/Musicians and obviously a big fan of the Ninja Delay here too.

  10. We're Breezeblockin' again tonight, but here's a track which caught my ear during a Coldcut mix from last week
    A message as important as ever

  15. This week it's time for a couple of remixes from ~2000, namely Coldcut & James Hardway:

    If you know or can recall when Future Music ran these competitions, please, leave a reply. Would make me super happy to have correct dates for these. I lost my original Amiga OctaMED projects for these ages ago :)

  16. Before she became a late 80s/early 90s dance/pop crossover hit machine, #LisaStansfield got her first major success guesting on an acid-house chart banger with #Coldcut (founders of the Ninja Tune label) on "People Hold On" which has aged remarkably well. - youtube.com/watch?v=4IoWjow6xD

  17. An old friend of mine has been releasing some sick wax as of late. This is the latest from Double Dee and Steinski pioneers of the “megamix”
    sample based collages. #Coldcut #DJShadow were influenced by these O.G.s
    Limited release don't sleep on this.

  18. "Crystallise" by Afro-beat collab Keleketla! with producers Coldcut is our #sotd. Featuring Tamar Osborn (sax) and Yugen Blakrok (vox) it's like a religious ritual from another planet.

    Even by #Coldcut standards, this LP is something special. A real treat for the ears. And still sounding as fresh as when it was first released.

  20. #NowPlaying️ #JukeboxFridayNight

    Can't recommend this LP enough - fantastic ensemble of beats, grooves and earthy vibes. Amazing listen #Coldcut #SoundMirrors #NinjaTune

    And was lucky enough to pick up a lovely #vinyl copy the other week...
