AMM. London Lighthouse, 1989
















This was the first time I saw AMM and it had a great effect on me. Some of that being a confirmation that sound didn't have to be music as such to convey emotion, and be an uplifting and enlightening experience.  The concert took place in the London Lighthouse, a centre for people affected by HIV and AIDS.  The whole thing was of great sensitivity, beauty and I suppose a touch of melancholy.

Take time to listen.  Let me know what you think.

For Sotise, a big AMM fan.
