about

Genre-wise this is a bit of a curveball, but heigh-ho. I'm a big fan of the electropop duo Project Adorno and couldn't resist recording a version of their brilliant song in praise of the Central Line on the London tube (even though I never go anywhere near London myself if I can possibly avoid it). It also gave me a chance to play with some analogue synth simulators, which was great fun. Many thanks to Praveen for allowing me to record it.

lyrics

Central Line
Everybody loves the Central
We know why
It'll get you east to west
The quickest and the reddest

It's the Central Line
No potential deviation
It's flat and horizontal
The line of least resistance
A crime to call it crimson 'cause it isn't

It's the Central Line
Goes from Epping to West Ruislip
Hear it's nice there
It used to be much longer
It used to go to Ongar

It's the Central Line
London's very own equator
But it's not that straight
It's got the sharpest curve along it
Between Shepherd's Bush and White City

It's the Central Line
Forty-nine different stations
Stationed on it
And as for Oxford Circus
The busiest station on the network, maybe on earth
