Technicolour Dreaming

The focus this week was again the on-going vinyl revival with selections from a plethora of bands using that format, including Germany’s Vibravoid, Finland’s Octopus Syng and Spain’s Stay from the UK’s brilliant Fruits de Mer label catalogue, Jacco Gardner on the Trouble In Mind label, a rare split single by Kelley Stoltz and a 7”single re-issue by We The People, plus the new LP by the Asteroid #4 on 12” black 180gm vinyl... all very cool stuff! We also featured new albums by Chile’s the Holydrug Couple, Crystal Stilts, Cate Le Bon and ex-Coral drummer Ian Skelly plus a track from the fabulous Night Beats’ latest offering, as well as a Barbarellatones song which was featured in a recent episode of TV’s “Sons of Anarchy” series, plus lots more.....
