No Rest For The Listener

As Nina Kraviz and Aphex Twin generate sounds that mirror a politically bipolar World, Bill Drummond draws up a plan for a poll on an Irish border crossing. The times they are a-changin' and Stephen Clarke 1980 has more insomnia than Faithless. No Rest For The Listener explores the actions of artists and DJ's in the past and present in order to create a series of links that point towards a possible, brighter, future. With stories about George Best, Brian Eno and J Dilla, interspersed with tales of bombings, kidnapping and murder in Belfast, it's, perhaps, not surprising that Stephen can't sleep. If you'd like to know more about The K Foundation sailing off into the sunset on a raft, how Laurent Garnier once reacted to the rise of right wing politics, or what dance the poet Hollie McNish has mastered, this book is for you.
