Item Type: Article
Abstract: Future Worlds is a cut-up of official and unofficial words recorded from inside a 1960's brutalist concrete shopping centre, The Tricorn Centre in Portsmouth, UK, which was slated to be demolished having been voted "the ugliest building in all of Britain." There was a small but vocal minority of people who had enjoyed the Tricorn during the 1980's Punk/New Wave days, who wanted to save it, as it had provided the only alternative venue in Portsmouth. The movement failed and the Tricorn was demolished soon after to be replaced by something slick and soulless.
