Technicolour Dreaming

Sometimes the direction an edition of Technicolour Dreaming takes is as much of a surprise for the announcers as for the listeners! One song suggests another, and before we know it, we’re on a rollercoaster ride of sound! This was such a week, with some of our favourites – Plasticland, Go-Go Sapien, Jacques Dutronc and the Bee Gees for instance - interspersed with oddities – such as a bizarre version Big Star’s Holocaust by Los Bichos – and brand, spanking new releases (from Buried Feather and the Love Parade). A couple of 1980 Adelaide vinyl treasures from Nuvo Bloc and the Noise rounded out a particularly satisfying show! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did bringing it to you!
