Another Green World – My Dreams In Your Hands – A Real Kavoom Tapes 1984

Side One

Side Two

No tracklisting on this tape.

Another Green World (named after the Eno LP), members Paul Chousmer and Dan Carpenter were also members of Webcore at the same time. Based in Cornwall, these bands were at the start of a new generation of younger individuals who were interesting in free festivals, spiritalism, magic mushrooms, piercings, wearing dreadlocks and travelling around on converted buses. This movement eventually got tagged as New Age Travellers in the press, or the Peace Convoy by the actual participants themselves.

Another Green World and Webcore were regulars at the early Club Dog nights in Wood Green and Finsbury Park in London. I also saw them a fair bit in various squats around the city, Mankind above Hackney Central station, Old Jungle Records building Islington and 121 Club / bookshop in Brixton being three of the better ones. The cassette above is their first release, and is mainly ambient and quite soothing.

After Webcore et al faded out towards the end of the 1980’s, the travelling scene had branched out towards a more techno vibe at squats and free festivals (normally squatted industrial estates) courtesy of Spiral Tribe and Bedlam Sound Systems.

    They headlined the opening night at Molly’s cafe, the squatted City Limits building on Upper Street, Islington.

    If memory serves they played in an outside courtyard, all candle lit with the audience sitting down.

    Club Dog opened in Wood Green a few days later.

    I remember playing this tape on a really delayed cross channel ferry coming back from France. The boat was full of irate holiday-makers, but after hearing this for a bit, everyone chilled out & some old guy even wrote down the name of the cassette. Thanks for posting this. My tape got lost / knicked some time back.
