Technicolour Dreaming

We had some new compilations to share with you this week, dear 3D Radio listeners, including a double-CD of Syd Barrett/Pink Floyd covers, which was an end-of-the-year bonus from the lovely people at Fruits de Mer Records in the UK, as well as another fine Active Listener compilation, “Forever Changing – A Tribute to Love’s Forever Changes LP”, both of which we shall certainly be plundering over the months ahead. There were new tracks by artists from various parts of the globe including Tasmania’s Violet Swells, Spain’s My Expansive Awareness and Canada’s Elephant Stone plus some older ones from the likes of Cheval Sombre, Wire, Sons of Adam and Russia’s excellent Polska Radio One. Then there was our “Artiste of the Week”.... Scotland’s own Jim Noir, whose four albums and plethora of singles and EPs gave us lots to choose from, starting with a track from his brilliant new album “Finnish Line”. We realise we say this about our feature artists each week but that doesn’t make it less true.... you should investigate the Jim Noir back-catalogue – you won’t be sorry!! To finish the show, we dug out one of our all-time faves, the 2011 album by Dark Ocean Colors and with that, we’ll leave you until next week.....
