///////// This Island Earth is delayed today due to a fire alarm at Carleton University. Stay tuned. /////////////// Today's This Island Earth adventure wanders from ambient, to jazzy and beats, to Mars and Saturn. And a feature on 'Remember Shakti' -- John McLaughlin & Zakir Hussain driven fusions. PLEASE hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (it is over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!
[A few tracks, while fire alarm gets resolved, started in last few minutes of Music From The Glen]

First, some aural brain-fresheners. Brand new "world sourcing colaboration" music. More of this later. And more of that great new ambient stuff from Kid Koala.

Today we feature a priceless classic in world music fusions: Remember Shakti. Driven by John McLaughlin (instigator, guitar) and Zakir Hussain (co-instigator, tabla), with T.H. "Vikku" Vinayakram (ghatam, mridangam) and Hariprasad Chaurasia (bansuri / flute). Believe it or not, it is all live!

We'll play the whole darned first disc. Hopefully we can visit the whole second disc at some future time too.

It is a total mind blower! Turn off all distractions, put on your very best headphones, sit back, and let it all just flow...

We are back.... Running about 20 minutes late. Might want to hit 'refresh' on your browser every now and then, as the playlist gets adjusted.

I read focus on new Shakti and I though whoah, new Shakti? ;)

Nope, "just" the priceless classic. Would be grand to hear new stuff from this outfit, in any configuration!

Thanks right back Gab! And thanks for listening. Yes, Remember Shakti is quite something. Maybe we'll get an excuse spin disc 2 some day.

Oh My! Thank you for the mini-vacation! I WAS in fact doing housework and DID take time to listen to the Remember Shakti CD. Beautiful, and well worth taking a nice break. Also enjoyed the Cities and Memory Inside A Church Organ at the beginning of the show.

Thanks Alejandro! Yeah, I forgot to look up time of the show before I got on the mic. MY BAD! Unfortunately, I had to drop 1 more track from Tania Maria, due to delayed start of the show. Maybe next time.

Oops. I forgot to forewarn about some potty mouth in this Sun Ra piece (Nuclear War). It is deserved though. ;^)
