THE IRMA VEP ENSEMBLE PLAYS THE WHOLE OF THE THIRD TESTAMENT WHICH IS AN ALBUM BY THE GODZ: Way back in the Plague Years me & Edwin & Pete & Andrew were asked to do a thing by Father Yod. We all went insane but it crawled away for a long time and just now crept back out quivering into the sunlight:

In the late 90s I was a regular attendee at Manasseh's Thursday night sessions at The Loughborough Junction SE5. Amazing selector.
