On this edition of TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #425) the program begins with a track from the latest album by ALTIN GUN (Amsterdam’s Turkish/Psychedelic folk specialist’s) and over the course of the next thirty minutes, covers styles ranging from ethereal (BRIAN ENO, BLACK DUB, and MILOS) to much edgier (DUKES OF STRATOSPHEAR, QUILT, THEE OH SEES, and JORMA KAUKONEN). The show evolves for the remaining two and a half hours in the same fashion your used to coming from my programming, by taking twists and unexpected turns over the course of each set that follows.
During the second set, there’s three pieces from film soundtracks (by ALEXANDRE DESPLAT, ENNIO MORRICONE, and MARCO BELTRAMI) mixed in with quirky musical tidbits from LAURIE ANDERSON, NEGATIVLAND, THE RESIDENTS, and Pere Ubu’s DAVID THOMAS, a vintage PINK FLOYD cut, and a deliciously strange tale weaved sonically by JIM WHITE.
I’ve gathered some great picks out of the ‘vault’ by THE DOORS, STOMU YAMASH’TA, LOU REED, PHILLIP GLASS, and the MOTHERS OF INVENTION, more new songs from LOGAN RICHARDSON, RHIANNON GIDDENS, and MOGWAI, world music from ANANSY CISSE and DJIVAN GASPARYAN (with Michael Brook), and ‘covers’ from JERRY GARCIA, THE BOBS, COLIN JOHN, and SALLY TIMMS & JON LANGFORD all to keep your ears perked, and a ROBERT WYATT song to make this show a ‘not to be missed.’
