Filmed over six months, controversial filmmaker Martin Durkin meets controversial UKIP leader and political whirlwind Nigel Farage, in the run-up to the European elections, at which some commentators predict Farage will lead UKIP to victory. They also believe he may stop the Conservatives from winning the general election.A few years ago, no one had heard of Nigel Farage; now he's a major force in British politics. But who is Nigel Farage? Durkin finds out on a journey full of incident: drink in hand, Nigel guides viewers through his favourite watering holes in the City, and he sneaks the film crew into the Euro Parliament, only to be swiftly ejected.
Feelings run high about Nigel Kennedy, the bad boy of the violin (he's started using his first name again, if you hadn't heard). On the cover of this collection, he's pictured with red and blue paint on his unshaven face, biting the side of his violin for one reason or another. But Nigel Kennedy's Greatest Hits points to what has really always been the ironic thing about Kennedy – when it comes to the music, he's quite un-outrageous.
Deep Space is a set of "compelling trance rhythms (and) expansive themes" from John Stanford. He juxtaposes acoustics and electronics throughout the set. They play off each other and sequenced rhythms run around and inside the atmospheres. The pace evolves into a techno beat. While the atmospheres and samples are definitely sci-fi, the rhythms ground the set and take it to a new ambient groove. In that style, this is a great disc. Overall, however, it is good. This CD will appeal to fans of the Orb, Banco de Gaia, Eat Static, and System 7.
