I did do a 20 min Music piece to go with Kevins initial presentation of this project at last years In The City. There was talk of it being included in a ltd special edition of the book ,but thats been scrapped.
How ever theres a further presentation of it at http://www.crossingborder.nl/
in november which Im also DJ ing at Paul Morley is involved as well.

Excellent news, keep me posted about the Dutch visit, looking at the website it looks like Cummins is in The Hague on the 21st November and Antwerp on the 22nd?

Hope to hear that 20 minute music piece one day! Shame it won't be in the book.

Got the book this morning - very nice, but couldn't see any 808 pics in there whilst browsing (very briefly) through the book.

When I get back from Manchester this Sunday (going up to see Orbital on the Friday and Saturday nights), I'll have another look... I might just be able to look through a book of pictures on the Sunday evening, but anything that will require more brainpower will be out of the question!

[markus]

That would be very disappointing.

[markus]

Seems strange then that he asked Massey to be involved?

[nickking]

Yup, definitely no 808-related photos in the book - some good ones of Joy Division, The Buzzcocks, The Fall, Oasis, New Order, The Smiths, etc...

[newbuild]

What mention is there of 808 in the book?

Had similar Pinnochio-feeling after seeing 24 Hour Party People, which dissapointed me on a couple of other matters.

Yes double dis for the punks!
His editor has probably never heard of us.
Well we were in the slide show he presented at last years In the City.
Im sure he d sell it you for £800

Fab news, and considering it's a Monday, I should be around in London to go to it!
