Project Moonbase: robots

Spacedog: Juice for the Baby Exciting news reaches the Moonbase that the debut album from friend of the show Sarah Angliss and her band Spacedog, entitled Juice for the Baby, has been released.

The album features Sarah on theremin, saw, robotic carillon, recorder, piano and Max/MSP patches; Jenny Angliss on vocals and Stephen Hiscock on vibraphone, glockenspiel, drums, handbells and other percussion.

It's a darkly beautiful and positively spooky piece of work. In fact might we be bold enough to propose a new word, séantific, to describe this splendid release. We'll be playing a track from the album on the next edition of the show.

You can buy copies of the album in either CD or download form from Spacedog's Bandcamp page.

PMB049: The Robots Are Coming As you know, dear listener, we've been covering some of the big topics of the day in our recent podcasts. Well there are few core topics we've rather neglected which is why this week on the show we turn our long overdue attentions in the direction of those marvellous metallic moto-men (and future overlords), the robots!

Yes, every track on the show this week has a robotic theme and we also hear from some of our favourite androids including Electro, Marvin and our very own Dalek Vicar.
