My Listening Of The Moment. I have to do a fair bit of writing right now, and one of the best bands for a soundtrack for that, in my opinion, is Underworld. Trance is excellent writing music, especially if you need a bit of drive and speed—160 beats-per-minute—to stimulate you! It also does not demand you listen too closely.       The band’s Karl Hyde and Rick Smith are also members of the art/design/film collective Tomato. Tomato’s Graham Wood used to come over from D’Arblay Street and do type design for us at Leagas Delaney—he was once an art director there.       Graham normally spends his time doing all sorts of slightly bent movies. I was prompted to get copies of After Effects and Final Cut Pro after watching what he was doing. Now I just need a decent little video camera and a computer with FireWire and USB input so I can suck video and digital stills in and out! Underworld’s King of Snake and Push Upstairs remix CDs, from their Singles Boxed Set. Art direction by Tomato, photographs by Adam Fuss, who worked in Australia for a time before returning to the UK and now USA. 1:03:13 PM    Add a comment.
