Technicolour Dreaming

We’ve been asked from time to time where we find the music we bring to you each week on Technicolour Dreaming. Well, it comes from a wide range of sources - some from our own home vinyl, CD, tape and digital collection, some from the huge 3D Radio Library [90,000 items and growing!], local demos and pre-releases we are given, mp3 downloads by musicians around the world from sites such as Bandcamp or compilations on blogs such as ‘The Active Listener’, plus promo releases from independent record companies such as the UK’s Fruits de Mer and State Records, or Australia’s Walking Bird and Smashed Records, not forgetting being given their latest releases by artists such as Death In June, the Byzantines, Subtract-S and the Dunes when they come in to join us on the show. So you can see that with such diverse resources, there never seems to be enough time each week to play everything we want to... which just adds to the fun – there’s always more fine music out there to discover and to share.....

..... so here is this week’s playlist, with some associated visuals.....
