30 Years On The Train: An interview with Neil Perch.

As the bass rattled my physical body, vibrating eyeballs and my soul, I could see someone leaning over a large piece of equipment, working it like a space ship control panel. Twisting knobs, throwing faders and moving to the heavy rhythms. This person was Neil Perch, original founder of Zion Train and the gig was in Narbeth Queens Hall ( I dont remember the exact date).

Repurposing old technology to tell the story of a new technology not yet realised.

AI is a big topic at the moment and many are afraid of the po…
