Technicolour Dreaming

Some tasty treats from the wonderful Fruits de Mer Records arrived in my letterbox, so of course I just had to play ALL of them on the show this week - how could I resist! The current crop of soon-to-be-released vinyl included the latest single from the sixties legends July (an exclusive extended version, and a demo mix of "Can I Go Back Again" a song that appeared in it's original form on their new album "Resurrection"); a coloured vinyl 4-track 7" 33rpm EP (phew!) from Crystal Jacqueline, titled "Morning Dew"; and finally Sendelica's latest spacerock epic, "The Cromlech Chronicles" LP, with which I closed the show by playing all 20 minutes worth of Side 2 - because I can!
Other new releases included Doug Tuttle's "It Calls on Me", and another track off The Luck of Eden Hall's wonderful "The Acceleration of Time" plus a swag of songs from 2015 which I've only just got around to playing.....
So here's the playlist, with not nearly as many clips as usual, cos I can't include what doesn't exist - a pitfall of playing relatively "unknown" bands, but at least the music's out there to enjoy.

Technicolour Dreaming

Amongst the new releases featured this week on the show was the Junipers “Euphonius Trolley EP”, their pop-psych side-project, and if the track we played, “My Budgerigar (is addicted to rasmalai)”, is any indication, we can only hope they pursue this direction further and put out a full album – we loved it!  Do check it out! Also featured were new tracks from the Horrors, the Roaring 420’s, Kikagaku Moyo and Octopus Syng, plus two French favourites, Sudden Death of Stars and Forever Pavot. Older music was not forgotten, of course, ranging from 60’s singles by Ola & the Janglers, the Dave Miller Set and Rhubarb Rhubarb, with a 70’s recording by the Left Banke, through to more recent tracks by the likes of Psychic Ills, Gold Paint and from 1990, the debut single by Cat & Brat faves, the Luck of Eden Hall. We also featured another track by Adelaide’s own Twilights and you’ll find Part 2 of the pilot of their ill-fated TV series attached for your viewing pleasure. So, until next week.....

Technicolour Dreaming

Regular listeners will be aware of our fondness for rarities, and this week we had a couple of brilliant examples. Firstly, we played from the new Orgone Box LP, a re-issue of Rick Corcoran’s classic 2001 album which includes remixes, re-recordings and an extra track from a 1996 Japanese-only EP, which was of course the song we played. We followed that with a lost Curt Boettcher-produced single from 1967, by our favourite ex-Byrd Gene Clark, which was unreleased at the time but finally issued by the fine people at Sundazed in 2008. Finally, towards the end of the show, we featured a track by Thomas Edisun’s Electric Light Bulb Band from their never-released 1967 pop-psych masterpiece, “The Red Day Album”, which was issued by Gear Fab records earlier this year. Then there were tracks by Eternal Tapestry, Holy Wave, the Left Banke, the Moles and many more, before finishing with UK outfit, the Sunchymes, as well as a song by Death In June, as a prelude to our forthcoming interview with Douglas P. next week.....
