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.....

Technicolour Dreaming

A mixture of the familiar and the new was Technicolour Dreaming’s guiding ethos again this week. For the former, we began with a psychedelic  fave from the Who and later in the show, a different version of a Jonathon Richman classic, as well as an Adam & the Ants punkoid killer. For the latter category, we moved into less charted waters, with new releases by Pond, the Laurels and the Frowning Clouds, debuts from Adelaide’s Plasticine Army and Weightless, a demo from Big Richard Insect, recent music from the Moles, Surf City and the Green Circles, plus a track from an all-time favourite, 2004’s ‘Spirit Stereo Frequency’ by All Night Radio, which was sadly their sole album... but what an album – psychedelic genius! We finished off with the penultimate appearance of Brian Eno as our “Artiste of the Month” with a brilliant live recording by his short-lived ensemble, 801... all brought to you by your hosts, the Cat & the Brat, on Adelaide’s eclectic 3D RADIO 93.7fm.....
