Getting into the medieval groove

Greg Walker, a professor of medieval English at the University of Leicester, has got into the groove to assess the literary merits of the latest club mixes. He has reviewed the lyrics to some trance-music hits for a feature in this month's Mixmag.

He said: "It's not often that a professor of English finds himself in the pages of a dance-music magazine but, when I was invited by Mixmag to review the lyrics of some recent trance-music hits, I was happy to oblige. To be honest, I'm more of a Jethro Tull man myself - but a couple of the songs that they sent me for marking were really quite good."
