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

Regular listeners to our shows will be aware that we are rather fond of boxsets and compilations of obscurities and this week we had a couple of new ones to plunder. We were excited to find a new addition to the wonderful ‘Electric Psychedelic Sitar Headswirlers’ series, now up to Volume Eleven, playing tracks from disparate locales such as Indonesia, the USA and Holland. We also got our hands on the new 5-CD boxset edition of the long-running ‘Electric Sound Show’ compilation LP series featuring obscure psychedelia found worldwide from the 1960’s (plus a few from the early 70’s) for our delectation! We only got it last week and have yet to hear it all, but played a few of the songs which have grabbed our attention so far, particularly tracks such as the very odd, lone single by Me Myself & Eye... very strange indeed! For our penultimate track, we played Adelaide’s own Fluffy as a ‘taster’ for 3D Radio’s annual TOP 101 which is being held on Monday 28^th January, with the Cat & the Brat hosting the 2-4pm slot... so tune in and hear the most played artists heard on 3D Radio in 2012, the bulk of whom are local Adelaide talent...
