Technicolour Dreaming

The so-called “race that stops a nation” passed with barely a ripple here at 3D Radio, though we did begin with Welsh popsters Race Horses as an ironic wink, thus leaving the rest of the show to our regular perusal of new sounds, topped up with older favourites and obscurities. In the latter grouping, we saluted the late Paul Revere, who continued performing with a version of the Raiders until last year – definitely a lifetime dedicated to music – by playing, from 1965, one of their many great songs, “Just Like Me”. Amongst the newer contingent were tracks by Moth Effect, Melbourne’s Basement Spaceman, the latest release by Beaulieu Porch and the upcoming single by Sweden’s Haleiwa. Finally, for two weeks in a row, our “Artiste of the Week” was provided by Switzerland... last week it was Borderline Symphony, this time it is the prolific musician known as Balduin. He has just released “All In A Dream”, a new limited edition ‘vinyl-only’ LP on the UK’s Sunstone Records, following his sold-out “The Glamour Forest” EP from earlier in the year. Both have been garnished with well-deserved rave reviews in magazines such as “Shindig!” and various on-line psych blogs and this new LP has flown into Technicolour Dreaming’s “Top 5 releases of 2014” list! So, until next week....
