I think about the Cheers guy now and then. Who is he? Why so smug? What was his life like? I know he could have never imagined his mug would eventually be seen by millions repeatedly on a contraption that beamed images and sounds through the air into people’s homes.

Made at sites of ancient stones, upon hillforts and in the depths of a fogou. Megalithic Moog is an album crafted using a 1974 Moog Prodigy and the land itself. Melodies from leylines, beats from boulders, songs from stones.

The pylons marched the land and so did we. Each pylon passed giving its voice to The Hum we heard. Each transmission tower a temporary temple. The electric ley of the land charting itself in our heads with every walked mile. – Signal-catcher Rose, ex-Child of The Hum #VOH
