Bull in THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH 1999

I first met Goldie, born Clifford Joseph Price, at an event in Milton Keynes in May 2007. A nice man in real life.

About Goldie:
Known throughout the music industry as the "king of jungle", Goldie is an artist whose ferocious creativity knows no bounds. Born and bred on the break dancing and hip-hop culture he absorbed during trips to the States in his youth, Goldie were a graffiti artist and an album cover artist before receiving the backing to record his first track, "Terminator", in 1993.

His debut album, "Timeless", followed two years later, and was hailed by critics as a masterpiece. The album fused the hyper syncopated break beats and reggae chic common in jungle music with a provocative bass line and soulful diva vocals. That album's title track, a 21-minute symphonic piece, was a masterstroke, and the lively "Inner City Life" was a smash.

With his reputation firmly established, he released his sophomore album in 1998, Saturnzreturn. The album's opening track, "Mother" a 60-minute orchestral/drum-n-bass piece, is a haunting track and serves as the companion piece to "Timeless." The remainder of the album, featuring cameos by David Bowie, Noel Gallagher of Oasis, and rapper KRS-One, is a mishmash of Goldie's signature sound.

No one can deny that Goldie is an artist who will continue to amaze fans and the industry with his epic scope and syncopated vision.
