Technicolour Dreaming

A few notable new releases played on Technicolour Dreaming this week included The Honey Pot's latest, "Inside The Whale", which has a real West-Coast 60's psych feel to it, out now on MegaDodo Records; and The Murlocs new one "Young Blindness" - and if you were planning to buy the coloured vinyl, it's too late!! Melbourne bands were well represented on the show, making up 6 of the selections, plus the usual French oddities, some Canadian coolness, as well as tracks from Germany, Norway, Russia and The Ukraine - there's so much fantastic music out there, both old and new, the world over. Just 2 hours a week is never enough!

Technicolour Dreaming

We began this week’s edition with a tribute to the Doors’ keyboardist Ray Manzarek, who passed away last week, by playing ‘Crystal Ship’, a classic example of a brilliant single b-side, before moving off on an exploration of location, era and genre under the (often tenuous) shadow of ‘the psychedelic’, with artists as diverse as Psychic Ills, Jacques Dutronc, the Murlocs and the Koobas, plus a great new cover  of Tyrnaround’s classic ‘Colour Your Mind’ by Germany’s Vibravoid. Later in the programme the Cat & the Brat were joined in the studio by Mark from the Arch Menaces, to talk about their album launch this weekend at the Enigma Bar here in Adelaide... during the interview we also discussed all things ‘power-pop’ and a mutual admiration for ‘the Medway Sound’, as well as playing some selections he’d brought in by bands such as the Len Price 3, the Happy Hate Me Nots and an obscure 60’s Australian single by the Familiars extolling the virtues of ‘the hula hoop’... so go see them if you can, it should be a great show!
