PMB260 Blossom (The Loch Ness Mouse, Baden/Brenk/Petri, Komeda, Turn On, Hintermass, Aristophanes, Milt Raskin, Korla Pandit, Hideo Osaka Ensemble, COSMIC CYCLER)

We're still full of the joys of spring here on the moon, dear listener as we bring you a show all about blossom and the trees which produce it.

The fruiting seed for this idea was the arrival of a lovely new album on Ghost Box by exciting new pop duo Hintermass (aka Jon Brooks and Tim Felton) which has the sound of folk music from the future.

In addition to that, we also have some Norwegians sounding Scottish, some TV advert music from Germany, some Greek philosophy by way of Taiwan and a couple of examples of DJ Bongoboy insists on calling 'exoticaploitation'. In an unusual move we also have some genuine traditional music from Japan.
