Sad and happy news reached the Moonbase this week as we learned on the one hand of the imminent demise of Ceefax (boo!) after 38 years of service but on the other, the joyous news that the ZX Spectrum has reached its 30th anniversary.  Good on you, Sir Clive!  We thought it therefore only fitting that we mark both of these auspicious moments in the history of technology by playing a selection of tunes which have a connection to one of these two hot topics.

PMB077: Ceefax v ZX Spectrum (Syd Dale, Ceephax, Nino Nardini, ZX Spectrum Orchestra, Bertrand Burgalat, The European Sound Stage Orchestra, Hazy Osterwald Sextett, Mind Body Alpha, John Cacavas, Paul Dupont)

Project Moonbase is filled with music to surprise, delight and occasionally horrify you. Made by someone who really cares (and his prisoner). We bring you music you’ve never heard before that will put a smile on your face, open your third eye and make you dance. We love space age bachelor pad music, library music, charity shop cheese, hauntology, ping pong stereo, moog music, sitar-driven psychedelia, lounge, the retro-futuristic, contemporary electronica, soundtrack music, radiophonics, euro-pop, orchestral-pop, industrial-opera, hyphens, 8bit, chip tune, skwee, uneasy listening and steel drums. We’ve been known to salute the theramin, sidle up to an ondes Martenot and smile beneficently on the ukelele. Every episode includes the unnecessary news: the strange, the weird, the futuristic and the fun. Join us now and in the future!
