This Island Earth
Sunday July 30th, 2017 with PeterB
Loads of new finds, early work of Terry Riley (FULL PLAY), plus some space-traveling randomness. DIG IT!!
Today's This Island Earth adventure rambles from Cris Dirksen new-age cello / Inuit fusion, to a totally ground-breaking Terry Riley early work (played in full), to Sung Ra, to some variations, to piles of really cool new stuff coming our way. Join the fun!!
And, do hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!
