Gang Gang Dance make avant-garde dance-pop with tribal beats, synths, and highly varied textures - sounds cool, right? Hear their latest album, Saint Dymphna, at 9pm on Monday's Inside Track (where a new album is played in it's entirety). On Friday (also 9pm), it's jazz pianist Lowell Davidson's lone album, Trio - recorded in 1965.
The members of the Feedback Farm have been trying desperately to quench their thirst for knowledge about the Kingdoms of Life. One was spotted holding a tape-recorder up to a pool of superheated salt-water containing exotic bacteria, and while the story hasn't been confirmed yet, several others were reported injured in an attempt to attach contact mics to a fairly tall Chestnut Oak. Tune in at 9pm on Wednesday to hear the full report.
Emily S will provide the world with Scandinavian sounds on this week's Thursday Night Feature. Do extreme cold and jagged coastlines make for a fertile musical environment? No one knows for sure, but listening in at 9pm might give you a pretty good idea.
