Technicolour Dreaming

A real mixed bag of music this time round, with way more 1960's USA singles than in recent weeks - which can only be a good thing!! - and only a few new releases (The Warlocks' "Songs from the Pale Eclipse", Beaulieu Porch's "Sarum Sounds", Anton Barbeau's "Magic Act", Garden Gate's "Dark Harvest" and the latest single from The Embrooks, "Helen" pretty much covers it). The rest of the show was a melange of new acquisitions of older albums, plus the usual romp through the decades....hope you enjoyed it!

Technicolour Dreaming

This show leaned more towards garage than psych for a little while, compliments of lots of new goodies to play - Adelaide's The Systemaddicts kicked things off with their latest album, "Broken Hearted on the Nullarbor", followed by a couple of new releases from State Records, by The Embrooks (UK) and The Missing Souls (France), and squeezed in the middle was a track from Juliette Seizure and the Tremor Dolls debut long-player, "Chewing Out Your Rhythm on My Bubblegum." Somehow I managed to play THREE Tyrnaround tracks, twice from their classic 12" EP, as well as a cover of the title-track, "Colour Your Mind" by Vibravoid! And I musn't forget a selection from Sidewalk Society's new 4-track 7" EP, which is one of Fruits De Mer Records latest crop of releases - with more to be featured next week. Some "soon-to-be" releases from Heaters, Elkhorn and Drakkar Nowhere rounded out the show: luckily this entry didn't take as long to put together as the last one! Enjoy!
