As in ‘mixed bag of leftovers’ Welcome to edition eight of Bontempi Radio Köln. A relaxing hour in your own personal headphone space I hope. Apologies to fans for the delay; reading earlier posts you may have noticed I was gadabout recently and despite original plans to podcast from the train I was far happier with my nose jammed against the glass of a railway carriage window picking up inspiration than fannying about in Ableton annoying everyone with my endless tinny high-hat loops. This Bontempi’s a bit of a mixed bag - hence the name, but has some of my all time faves on it including the untouchably great Spooky mixes of 'Water from a vine leaf' from back-in-the-day. There's some nice soundtrack Bambient stuff, some Alvin Lucier (for those who've read 'Words and Music' by Paul Morley) and a healthy slab of silly samples. Let's face it - where else could you get to hear the theme music to ‘Rockliffe’s Babies’ as well as Tom Baker swearing like a fishwife? Where I ask you? ;) This is a special edition of sorts as it is the first podcast brought to you in Uncle-o-Ramic Sound. Yep - Yesterday morning Baby Ellen was born during a lightning storm and I am now an uncle. I’m *very excited* at the prospect of meeting her along with her fab mum and dad tomorrow. Congrats guys! And this one's for you Ellen! Listen here or subscribe via iTunes by clicking the post-title or the Podcast link in the right-hand column I've had some feed problems with Blogger so some existing listeners may need to unsubscribe and then resubscribe in iTunes for the new edition to come down the line properly Those of you without cloth ears may notice a small improvement in sound quality - I've switched to Garageband to do the final mastering and though it's CaptainSLOW at spitting out the final file, it now comes to you in a gloriously crispy 192Kbps AAC format. Which is nice when played loud. So pull up an office chair, sofa, cross trainer, car seat, train seat, bike saddle or whatever it is you sit on to listen to these, jack in your phones and enjoy! Please mail with requests or ideas for themes or even to lavish your undying love for my aural travails. I'd love to know who you are, what you like and where you listen to the show. I thrive on feedback! (Sorry Ben—I haven't found a suitable spot for your request yet - maybe in the next one yeah?)
