Sunken foal
This is the other show (with Electronic Explorations) which is always as good as the first bite of a Pink Lady apple when you are starving to death from thirst and hungry.
Every episode becomes better and better, but when you listen back, the old ones stay as good as the better ones.

taken from his space
All brand new recordings, some new tunes, some old,
going out Tues 28th October after 2am on the Mary
Anne Hobbs Experimental show BBC Radio1.
Plenty of dubbed out guitars, analogue synths
and splattered percussion.
Big thanks to Jurgen Simpson (piano) and Cozzy
Dermody (fiddle) for their help on this session.
There seems to be a slight Jamaican rhythmic flavour
in parts .... I'm not sure why as I've been listening to
lots of white boys with college degrees. Perhaps its
something in the bongwater...

Hah. I should send you the new dubstep / folk crossover stuff I've been doing. There's a hidden line from Sandy Denny to El B - it's still pure rollage, but with acoustic instruments over big subs.
See also Mount Kimbie.
