Steve Hillage: And Not Or
Ex-Gong guitarist Steve Hillage is the epitome of the tech-obsessed hippy — he even recorded under the name of System 7, the Macintosh OS of the time. This song is named after BASIC Boolean operators, and comes from an album — For To Next — named after BASIC keywords. It contains, as far as we're aware, no actual reference to technology beyond a hint that Hillage tried his hand at writing a game of noughts and crosses in AppleBASIC.
