Technicolour Dreaming

It was one of those weeks when our P.O. box was inundated with new releases and a few older goodies so we had lots to choose from to play for you. From amongst this pile of CDs and vinyl we selected new tracks from the UK’s Wicked Whispers, Three Minute Tease [featuring Anton Barbeau], Eternal Tapestry and the brilliant triple-CD from New Orleans’ Chef Menteur, plus songs from the Wands, Surf School Dropouts and Japan’s Sundays & Cybele amongst others. Our featured compilation series this edition was Northern Star Records’ excellent double-CD “Psychedelica” series, beginning with Volume One in 2006 and ending with volume 5 in 2013, and featuring a plethora of both known and obscure modern bands throughout, with many of the tracks unavailable elsewhere. Most of the issues are ‘sold-out’ but can be found on sites such as Discogs and eBay et al. if you search them out. We’ll be playing more of our new ‘incomings’ next week, so until then.....
