Spiral Tribe + Free Party History – Q & A with Mark Angelo Harrison at Datacide Conference 2013

Even though the recording is from 2013 the content is still relevant today. Mark Angelo Harrison is very well known for his involvement with Spiral Tribe as one of its founding members and graphic designer. The whole interview is extremely interesting, not only for Tekno heads. If you want to learn about the early beginnings of Spiral Tribe or about the post Thatcher era, you should definitely consider watching it.

It’s more than just a interview about music, since it touches upon so many different aspects of the 90s. It is striking how much of a public nuisance these noisemakers were considered to be. The enemy within who fought the law with a bunch of speakers and psychedelics. The interview gives you also some insight on the infamous Castlemorton court case as well as on the decline of free festivals as a whole. See here especially the pathetic legislation which later led to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act in 1994. As said before, the interview offers a pretty interesting insight into British countercultural history that still affects us today.

Last but not least, “A darker Electricity – the Origins of the Spiral Tribe Sound System” has been finally published. I somehow never thought I will be able to buy the book one day, but it actually made it to the printers. A review of the book will follow (soonish…).
