A hot summer night's worth of Music! CKCU doesn't get much better than this!
Artist Album Track Label  
Starting out in a pre-alternative, semi-noisy vein.IMHO, Jame's Chance/James white's output never got better than The live performance that was originally released on the ROIR Casette, way back when. Give thanks that much of the ROIR product has been re-issued on vinyl...
David Thomas More Places Forever About True Friends Twin/Tone   
James Chance & The Contortions White Cannibal White Cannibal Roir   
Nomeansno Why do They Call Me Mr. Happy? The Land Of The Living A/T 
We then take a 10-20 year leap backwards from the music of the 1st set to a more 60's/70's-oriented set. It's a set-up
Jackal Awake At The Station Radioactive 
Amon Duul II Hijack Da Guadaloop Atco   
Caravan If I could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You ... and I Wish I Were Stoned Decca   
We worked ourselves into a 60's-style frenzy to set the stage for a small feature on 'The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles and Fripp (the core of the original King Crimson Line-up in their late-60's pop guise). No it's not King Crimson, but it deserves a listen as a fun footnote to the origins of the band... as well as being a fun and neat LP in it's own right...
Giles, Giles and Fripp The Cheerful Insanity Of North Meadow Deram   
Giles, Giles and Fripp The Cheerful Insanity Of One in a Million Deram   
Giles, Giles and Fripp The Cheerful Insanity Of Elephant Song Deram   
Giles, Giles and Fripp The Cheerful Insanity Of Suite #1 Deram   
Giles, Giles and Fripp The Cheerful Insanity Of Erudite eyes Deram   
Might as well follow up with a lengthy track from a band comprised of the Giles-es after they left King Crimson and Fripp's company - and I choose the song as tribute to the store that sold me the LP!
McDonald & Giles McDonald & Giles Birdman Cotillion   
Into a bit of Classically-influenced prog, rolling into some present-day improv/jam masters!
Maniege Les Porches Chromo Harvest 
Jade warrior Kites Wind Song Island   
Bland Bladen I Grovenstid Pa Gron Kvist Troonsupstoons   
Oresund Music Collective Inside Your Head Optic Chiasm Sulatron   
On finishing up ith 2 great improv/jam bands, it's time to take a look at an unheralded LP by a band without whom this kind of music would not be where it is today.
Can Flow Motion Laugh 'til You Cry/Live 'til You Die Virgin   
Can Flow Motion Smoke Virgin   
Can Flow Motion Flow Motion Virgin   
Tinme for the headlong charge towards the last cut, time to start getting into that jazz-rock vibe, and Finishing out with a 'free' composition by Robert Wyatt as his contribution to Soft Machine's 'Third' 2xLP...
Gilgamesh Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into Bobberty - Theme From 'Something Else'    
Soft Machine Third Moon In June
