Kind of Bloop - An Unhappy Ending

If you were listening to the show back in 2009 when we were on the radio waves, you'll recall our delight at learning of an 8-bit celebration of the 50th anniversary of the release of Miles Davis' Kind of Blue called Kind of Bloop.

Well, it seems the project had a less than happy ending which, to cut a long story short, resulted in the mastermind behind the project, Andy Baio, having to settle out of court with a photographer's lawyers for $32,500.

As you might imagine, the impact of all this has weighed rather heavily on Mr Baio and he's only now felt able to tell the story. It's sobering tale, but also one which is very enlightening on the topics of copyright and fair use.

If you'd like to help a fellow out, you can still buy copies of this fabulous album.

PMB036 Sermon From The Stars: Mike Sammes Singers, Gershon Kingsley, Sonseed, Big Boss Man, Mort Garson, Salah Ragab, Mandingo, Elisabeth Waldo

Following on from our exploration of the world of commerce last week we've decided it's time to dive into the deep end and have a whole show scrutinising (and gently tickling the ribs of) the world's major faiths (and some minor ones too).

So please put on your silver robes and adopt a reverential position as you enjoy Hebrew Moog, white Christian reggae, human sacrifice by library musicians, Islamic space jazz, pagan pan-pipes and much more besides.
