- Kirchin's life from leading jazz drummer, to innovative soundtrack composer, following his pioneering work on the Worlds Within Worlds albums, his rediscovery by a new generation and ultimately his death from cancer in 2005.
- What connects the first British rock'n'roll discs of the 1950s, mondo documentary Primitive London, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, the Nagra tape recorder and the industrial sounds of northern England? The answer is Basil Kirchin. Kirchin is the forgotten genius of post-war British music and a pioneer of musique concrète - described by Brian Eno as "a founding father of ambient". Kirchin's intriguing history represents a collision of popular and experimental musical cultures that predate and define much of the music we hear today. Through interviews with many of Kirchin's friends, fans and collaborators - including music journalists Bob Stanley and Richard Willams, Trunk records founder Jonny Trunk, musicians Evan Parker, Alan Barnes and Sean O'Hagan - together with previously unseen archive footage, photos and never-before-heard music and personal interviews from Kirchin's own archive - Mind On The Run pieces together the amazing story of a remarkable life.—Matt Stephenson
