Goldie (Not Simon Groom's furry mate)

Always been a fan, Timeless is fucking briliant, Saturnz Return was patchy but underated.

He lived the pillars of hip hop, came up the hard way, I admire him a lot.

Used to spray stuff on walls and wears Stussy so legend in my book

Yeh he was in Bombin' and his work also featured in Spraycan Art, and thats just for starters from wen he was a teenager, the guys got the best CV ever

his autobiography is well worth a read... altho i didnt bother reading the last chapter whe he is going on about spirituality and all that bollox (altho its very important to him likes)

LOVED Timeless, although not a huge fan of the style in general so didn't pay much attention to his other stuff.

Bit like Roni Size, one seminal record, then on to summat else for me.

Totally enjoyed the programme, partly because you see a bit of his art and he talks about it a bit.

But the added bonus for me was seeing the culture clash of an electronic musician and classically trained composers. I was really pleased to see the lack of snobbery, couldn't tell if its because he's a scary intimidating looking bastard, or there was genuine respect for each other. The guy who is acting as him mentor clearly has massive respect from him.

I wish I'd seen the Maestro programme now about him conducting, I bet that was really interesting too.

Never got into the Roni Size album, didn't do it for me at all btw.

Rufige Cru: Beachdrifta is class dnb track from few years back

Don't suppose anyone recorded this did they? Would love a copy on DVD.

I thought it was a top program and the tune he wrote was obviously him in the end 'producing' as opposed to actually writing it. Like his electronic work, he used engineers & musicians to assemble it into a coherent form.
His graffiti sketch of the peice looked amazing as a form of art itself.
i think his influence in producing and arranging can be heard in the finished piece they played at the end.
Which was clearly 'goldie' by sound.
He puts so much creative energy into it and has that effect on the people involved with his projects, passing on his enthusiasm, it can't go wrong for the guy.

One of the better reality shows... . Better than the Ratcatchers stepping on rats or dickheads at airports..
