PMB055 Moon Moods - Trailer for PMB056

Due to a bit of a mix up in the laboratory, the wrong trailer was added to the end of PMB055 so here is the correct trailer. You may also have noticed that time ran backwards for a small period of time during the week. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Listen now:

PMB055: Moon Moods (Dick Hyman, Modular, Art van Damme, Charles Trenet, William Shatner, Eden Ahbez, Les Baxter, Jean-Jacques Perrey/Dana Countryman)

Somehow, dear listener, one of the themes we've neglected to cover until now is that of our dwelling place, yes - The Moon! To redress this embarrassing imbalance, the show this week is pure unadulterated moonliness, featuring the sounds of, amongst others, Siingapore pop, Argentinian retro-futurism, German pianism, French novelty singing and Norwegian chiptune.

This also gives us another perfect opportunity (as if we needed one) to play a track from William Shatner's latest magnum opus and the show closes with a track from our patron saint, Jean-Jacques Perrey.

PMB054 Stampede (Bill Cosby, The Kramford Look, Claude Denjean, Johnny Dankworth, Modular, Electronic Concept Orchestra, Edmundo Ros)

Something of a musical miscellany on the show this week with more Lollywood from the latest release on Finders Keepers (Life is Dance), more from those fictitious French librarians, The Kramford Look and more from those Argentinian retro-futurists Modular. We also mark the sad passing of Paul Leka and Edmundo Ros and hear the sound of an IBM 7090.
