Technicolour Dreaming

“So much music, so little time” has been our mantra since day one and this week was no exception, so we squeezed in as many as possible of the diverse tunes on offer, including new releases from Morgan Delt, Diane Coffee, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and Thee Oh Sees. Naturally there was also a selection of 60’s goodies from Colours, Fleurs de Lys, the Executives and a few French ‘exotiques’ from the likes of Michel Polnareff and les Gypsys. Throw in some Luck of Eden Hall, White Fence, Sand Pebbles amongst others and it’s another sonic adventure with the Cat & the Brat on 3D Radio......

Technicolour Dreaming

There were plenty of recent, new and soon-to-be-released songs featured on this edition of the show from the likes of Temples, Fogbound, the Luck of Eden Hall and Vintage Cucumber, as well as local releases by Black Coral and  Bubonic Babe, plus the usual plethora of tracks from the past, this week ranging from the 60’s psychedelic beat of the Netherlands’ Mother’s Love, the Standells and C.A.Quintet, the ‘exploito’ sitar sounds of Rajput & the Sepoy Mutiny, on to local punk legends, the U-Bombs, and up to Italy’s Strange Flowers, Russia’s Mystic Brew and Canada’s Sheepman, amongst others. But the primary feature this week was the up-coming series of releases from UK vinyl record label Fruits de Mer which are due out in March. Especially grabbing our immediate attention [apart from inspirational mottoes such as “a smile, a song and a nice piece of cod”!] were the brilliant version of Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” by Welsh band the Honey Pot, Schizo Fun Addict’s intriguing take on the theme from 70’s Italian horror movie “Suspiria”, originally done by Goblin, and a new interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky” by Swedish duo, Us & Them... But fear not, dear listeners, for we shall be bringing you more cool sounds from these fine artyfacts over the coming weeks, so until next time....
