Thanks to our listener in Germany, Arkan Ok, for suggesting this week's theme of railways.  It's given us an excuse to dig out some steam-powered gems and no less than three train-themed tunes from Indian composers.  There's plenty of organ work, some German disco and we also get to hear Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin chuffing away to their hearts' content.

PMB105: Great Railway Journeys (Sohail Rana, Bernard Estardy, Les Baxter, Vernon Elliott, Ken Griffin, Henry Mancini, Ananda Shankar, R.D. Burman, I Am Robot And Proud, Veronika Fischer)

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!
