This Island Earth
Sunday January 15th, 2017 with PeterB
From trippy new ambient sounds, to Saturn, to pan-galactic female vocals, beats, to…

Skip to Tracks
Today's This Island Earth mis-adventure, curated by PeterB, leads us from brand new ambient work, to fantastic female vocals from all over, to some compilations. Plus a side trip to Saturn, and other nearby planets. Please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!

A starter taste of Brian Eno's brand new Ambient work "Reflection". It is a mind-numbing close listen. This will weave it's way through… And maybe a full end-to-end listen some day. (Opinions solicited on that idea, please.)

A side trip to Saturn, and a few other nearby planets! Mining the heck outa a brand new release of Sun Ra singles. Best of 2017 pick already! OK, even though it was actually 2016 at the time...

NOTE: Check out "Sung Ra"!! Christine Duncan + The Tone Cluster Choir + RakeStar Arkestra will be performing music of Sun Ra on Jan 22, 7:30 pm, at Church of the Ascension, 253 Echo Drive (near Pretoria Bridge), 20 bucks at the door. There will be ample odd sounds, headgrear, and a unicorn. Spacecraft parking situation is a bit unclear though. Should be quite something!

Female vocals, from all over the planet, and all over the pan-galactic musical map. Some aaaaaahhhhh… And, some say what?! A MAJOR weakness of yer's truly.

This is sorta-kinda a continuation of last week's Loosely Connected (http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/475/info.html). And also sorta-kinda some more 2016 "best discoveries" too.

Hi PeterB, Interesting show today--all over the place! Listening in while cleaning the kitchen and fridge. As I've said before, This Island Earth--music for all those household chores! Looking forward to hearing more from Brian Eno.
