Technicolour Dreaming

This week’s show featured a journey around the current world of psychedelia, plus assorted oddities and a side-trip back in time to the first pop psych explosion. So much music to play, and only two hours each week to squeeze it all into! We recently acquired a copy of the brand new addition to Born Bad Records’ wonderful “Wizzz! Psychorama francais 1966 – 71” compilations, Volume 3, making this series a serendipitous choice for our Compilation of the Week, mais oui! Back in the present, we played new tracks from the Wands, Pretty Lightning, Jacco Gardner, the Noble Krell and the Barbarellatones latest demo (love the lyrics!), fitted in some surf from Chile and Denmark, and some 60’s faves such as Gary Walker and the Rain’s much covered classic, “Francis”. And we finished up with Vibravoid’s ode to the Fuzztones organ player Deb O’Nair, which can be found on the just-reissued and re-mastered edition of their classic “2001” LP, complete with extra tracks and quite stunning packaging – it certainly gets our seal of approval! So.....
