Zardoz is the name I've been using for my non-commercial DJ work over the last couple of decades. I recently decided to re-appropriate it for the purposes of my Blog & current Mix Project which I've affectionately dubbed USP (Ultra Sensitive Perceptions). You will find my latest USP Mixes on Mixcloud.

You choose an artist you create a mix around them. User name : The Gallery Password: gallery Suggested way to Listen/View: Use image as desktop picture. Then minimize all items and just enjoy the meditation and mediation of the Piece with Sound. This is ART!

“I had the misfortune to be nourished by the dreams and visions of great Americans—the poets and seers. Some other breed of man has won out. This world which is in the making fills me with dread. I have seen it germinate; I can read it like a blue-print. It is not a world I want to live in. It is a world suited for monomaniacs obsessed with the idea of progress—a false progress, a progress which stinks. It is a world cluttered with useless objects which men and women, in order to be exploited and degraded, are taught to regard as useful. The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. Whatever does not lend itself to being bought and sold, whether in the realm of things, ideas, principles, dreams or hopes, is debarred. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal.” Henry Miller Member of the Wasted Time Appreciation Circle: http://8tracks.com/w_t_a_c_

I center my relationship with music around KILLED in CARS. It is a "thank you" to the musicians who enrich my life, a way to reach people curious about expression through sound, and an attempt to creatively think about music. This site has thrived as a destination for discussion and listening thanks to its disregard for the canon and its dedication to making esoteric genres accessible. I appreciate your readership, and I hope that you choose to participate!

For the ♥ of music
