Two Piers release the second in their Presents compilation series with Steve Mason Beta Band, King Biscuit Time stepping up to the curation table to deliver a stunning compilation of tracks entitled The Romance of Unknowing.Steve Mason presents The Romance of Unknowing takes in influences from Northern Soul, Punk, Folk, HipHop, Soul and PostPunk, spanning tracks from 1965 to 2005, across 2 Coloured VinylLPs amp 2 CDs.There was a club in Dunfermline Fife called The Kronk and the DJ there, called Lel Palfrey would play incredible sets going from House into Hip Hop into Reggae and back into House. Occasionally ending with Booker Ts Green Onions. As someone with wildly eclectic music taste who had been a Mod, Lel helped sure up my opinion that there should be no boundaries in music. Its just a line of Human expression that stretches back into our past and will continue. Forever. Open your arms and come with me.
