Electronic Sound (plus a few extra gems) by George Harrison!

Hi everyone,

This time around I let my secret Beatles fanatic flag fly with some music from the Quiet One, otherwise known as brilliant lead guitarist George Harrison. He recorded some solo work during the late Beatles years that not many know about. The 1969 album Electronic Sound features two long pieces played on the Moog synthesizer, still pretty new at the time. 

These two are most of this show, but there are also a few pieces from Harrison's first solo album, 1968's Wonderwall Music soundtrack album. His love of Indian music and Western rock both mix into this lovely deep album. Obscure Beatle music worth hearing!!

FaltyDL!

Hi everyone,

So I'm continuing to explore recent electronic releases, and found this one by FaltyDL, album called In the Wild, from last year. His name is Andrew Lustman, based in New York, and I think his music is spacey and beautiful, sometimes dark, sometimes blissed out. Definitely special, check it out!

Machinedrum's Vapor City!

Hi everyone,

Machinedrum is the performer name for Travis Stewart, who has been around a few years. Vapor City and Vapor City Archives are an exciting pair of albums, especially running through one to next. I added a live performance to finish off the set. Lay back, set on your headphones, go!

Moondog's Later Years . . .

Hi everyone,

Moondog was Louis Thomas Hardin, a strange, long-lived composer who lived on the streets of New York City for many years from the late 1940s to the early '70s, before moving to Germany in his later years. 

The music on this show is from those later years, a variety of pieces that concludes with Moondog's last live concert on August 1, 1999, a few weeks before he died. Moondog is one of a kind, and it's a pleasure to share his music, especially with those who have not heard it before.

On My 6th Anniversary Show: Flying Lotus Says . . . You're Dead!

Hi everyone,

Flying Lotus is Steven Ellison from LA, and has released 5 albums. They are a wondrous melange of electronic, hip hop, jazz, R&B. He lost some loved ones recently, including Aunt Alice Coltrane (!), and so had mortality on his mind but, wow! what beautiful affirming music!

Six years of my show! Long live SPRadio! :)

FSOL: Environment Five!

Hi everyone,

It's been about four years since FSOL released some new music, and this time it comes with a new addition to their Environments series, all-new music this time (some of the early entries were odds'n'sods). Music about passing from this world to somewhere else. Music to catch a hold of, just a little corner in your fist, and ride, ride, ride . . .

I Care Because You Do . . .

Hi everyone,

One of my favorite electronic music artists, Richard D. James, has recorded a lot of albums under the name Aphex Twin. But it's been over a decade since he's put out new music. That music is coming soon. Like with Olivia Tremor Control a few shows back, I'm celebrating this return by playing some older music that I really like. Long ago, your favorite DJ sat with her favorite bong in a dark college room, many nights, grooving deep with RDJ. Here's I Care Because You Do from 1995. Still makes me happy to listen to . . .
