This week's show takes its title from a lovely new radiophonic EP from Tim Love Lee, Si Begg, Jack Dangers and Tara Busch which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the BBC's first FM broadcast.  So we have a couple of tracks from that, a selection from a huge archive of test card music, some 16-bit chiptune, new tracks from Tangier 57 and Akron and a curious vocal version of show favourite Caravan.

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!
