Mary Anne Hobbs recommends

Mary Anne Hobbs recommends
"It鈥檚 so moving to hear Goldie identify with music as 鈥榤other鈥� in his life. Goldie was put into care at the age of three, and in this programme he explains how art and music saved him from the brutality of the system and the alienation he felt as a child. Goldie is candid about the tantrums, the mistakes, the chaos of his life, and he鈥檚 generous about those who helped him channel his anger into music that would change the electronic landscape forever."
