Encyclopedia > The Backs

The Backs, or the Backs of the Colleges refers to an area of Cambridge at the rear of several colleges by the River Cam. Specifically, the region in question consists of the rear grounds of the following colleges: Map of the Cambridgeshire area (1904) The city of Cambridge is an old English university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire. ... The River Cam is a tributary of the River Great Ouse in the east of England. ...

  • Though Trinity Hall looks onto the river Cam, between Clare College and Trinity College, it has no rear grounds on the other side of the river.

The area is notably pleasant, not least because of the river running through it and the way in which the college grounds are maintained, including expansive lawns and gardens. Historically, much of the land was used by the colleges for more down-to-earth purposes such as grazing livestock, or growing fruit. The river was also an important commercial thoroughfare, and a towpath was maintained beside it into the nineteenth century.

Ming & FS: Back to One - PopMatters Music Review (1415 words)
Back to One means back to square one, back to the straight hip-hop and jungle sounds that made their name, back with a New York-based label (the nascent Spun Records) and back in charge of their own careers.
Back to One is a more focused effort than Subway Series, and it stands as much of a chance of making them household names in the electronic community as anything they've ever recorded.
"Back to One" is another of many tracks to shuffle between hip-hop and jungle tempos -- which might seem odd unless you know that most hip-hop is exactly half the speed of most drum and bass.
