CHAPTER IV ENDS

AN ISSUE CAN ONLY BE SO LONG.

These projects are just threads in a larger, grander tale. There are many, many more to show ye.

BUT THE BRISTOL GERM CONCLUDES, in hopes you yourself will explore more ARTISTS, LABELS, and PROJECTS from this GREAT EPOCH.

THIS HISTORIC MOMENT IN AVANT-GARDE

MUSIC Will indeed, finally, be delivered to the masses, chiselled into the popular consciousness, and marked in the annals of history

THE STARS ALIGN; Eyes turn to the city as several Bristol projects (IDLES, Giant Swan etc ) break through on to the national stage, and new projects emerge at a startling pace. The Landfill can’t obscure it much longer The junkyard prepares to be re-shaped

AND WHAT OF YOU, DEAR READERS?

LISTEN to these artists, for this epoch must be heard to be understood. Writing, good as it can be, is always a compromise for the first-fact of musical/aesthetic beauty; only in encountering it firsthand will you know its dazzling brilliance

PROTEST the cultural treason of complacent music journalism, and hindrances to the promotion and experience of great art
