Need a recommendation for TV-viewing over the holidays? British filmmaker, Steve McQueen's anthology series "Small Axe", set from 1969 to 1980 is based on the real-life experiences of the UK West Indian community is well worth your time.

One of the stand out episodes, "Lover's Rock" takes place during a house party in 1980s West London, and inspired this set of the Lovers Rock style of reggae.

Enjoying the show - this Trans- mission for Jehn: Gnossienne No 1 by Tierney Malone & Geoffrey Muller reminds me of Gil Scott Heron's 'Im new here' specifically 'where did the night go' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbZVdj_d62M

I wondered about that too, - Gill Scott Heron’s voice is so distinctive. It’s likely him.
