Years of Rice & Salt's Service Bell & Live too!

Hi everyone,

Played this English band's full-length LP, 2011's Nothing of Cities, a few shows ago; now digging back to 2009 for their EP. Just as wonderful, pretty & haunting. And a 30 min live set from around the same time! Enjoy! :)

Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement's Green Graves!

Hi everyone,

RSE is one of the projects of a dude named Dominick Fernow. He's new to me. So much music I don't know! Anyway, this 2016 release just floored me, like some kind of electronic float down an ancient jungle river. Just fantastic, trippy, beautiful, sweet in a way. I bet more of his work will show up on this show :)

Afro Celt Sound Sytem's The Source!

Hi everyone,

This English group nearly fell apart in 2016, went to court, finally reconciled enough such that some of the members are carrying on with the name in tact. The Source was made during this year of schism &, despite all that, it is a wonderful, sweet, high, infectious, dancy record.

It's good they came together & buried the hatchet, & maybe the high spirit of this record too says that it was somehow for the best. Enjoy :)

John Zorn's There Is No More Firmament!

Hi everyone,

Time to catch up with one of my favorite experimental jazz guys. This album came out last year and has all sorts of Zornzy treats. Some of his music is more traditional sounding, some are just crazy good weirdness! Enjoy!

Years Of Rice & Salt's Nothing of Cities!

Hi everyone,

Soundcloud says, "Years of Rice & Salt is a 6-piece instrumental rock / folk band based in London, United Kingdom. They were formed in Summer ‘08 and released their debut EP entitled Service Bell EP on 31st January 2009. The EP is a themed collection of songs navigating the timeline of a shipwreck through music. The first full-length album, Nothing of Cities was released in June 2011."

That's about it. Their album is great, a slow ambient acoustic burn that sometimes shouts! Enjoy!

‪Chandranada's Valley of the Moon‬ Mix!

Hi everyone,

So this weekend is the final new radio weekend of 2017 for SPRadio. My friend R asked me to make a show for this one with a seasonal feel. So I scrounged around and found on YouTube‪ Chandranada's "Valley of the Moon‬ Mix." Not sure if everyone will get the wintery feel to it, but it feels to me like deep-in-the-dark-smoking-some-nice-green-with-snowflakes-falling music. Enjoy. Season's greetings! :)

Shpongle's Codex VI!

Hi everyone,

I can't tell you Shpongle is. You need to listen and discover for yourself. Somewhere open where you may dance. Somewhere quiet in case you cry out. Somewhere the rest of leaves you to your own bone's zaniness for a little well. Then you listen, and you find out ;)
