We used to think we were quite psychedelic, now it's all completely academic we got placebos and then we got got the full hit The best minds of the blank generation destroyed by apathy and anticipation caught between highgate and the bottomless pit We all breathed in when leary said 'now all breath in' and we all breathed out and we shook it all about We were the best minds of a bad generation destroyed by apathy and imagination we thought we knew it all when we really knew squat the children of mckenna sell spiralena and henna guarana and ginseng twenty a shot we had seen a fractal of the future old b-boys got their first home computer amiga, amego, the shaman, the orb and the grid in every dream home a float tank, bubble lamp brain clamp, a brain machine leech is leeching a quid smart drinks and ravers in bright shiny mittens waving their glowsticks and purring like kittens all back to dan's for a weekend of bliss there's roger the dodger, straight out of prison tripping his tits off, talking shit in the kitchen. "it's alright mate, he's only taking the piss." We stayed up all night watched dawn's blister burst over Baldyheed Needledick We opened our eyes to let the moon in and then the moon moved and then i lost it We're not dropping out we're dropping in we're not copping out we're copping in we're not dropping in we're taking over we're not copping out we're on the border Zen-inspired pagans, techno-powered-shamans lovers of the mushroom and bong See you at seven under the arches at Heaven raving, we're raving, we're gone

about

Part one of Belleville.

This Stately project is a two-pronged tribute to the Belleville Three and the peculiarly British response to that first wave of Detroit techno: the woods parties, the clubland befuddlement, the ache of the darkness that floods the room when the last strobe is switched off.

This first salvo tries to recreate that vibe through our shared distant memories of warehouse and squat parties, all-nighters at the Rocket and Robey, the lovelabs of evolution and all its cultural trimmings. It was the summer of the Orb playing space-chess on Top of the Pops, the Criminal Justice Bill and Zippies. It felt like the underground was taking the mainstream by stealth. It was great to be alive.

Part two features the original versions of the songs that sparked these diversions. They are steeped in the English way but informed by the genius of Derrick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. There won't be a cover of Strings Of Life – but there will be strings.
