Mostly just lots of deep-ish dives today, and mostly on new-ish works. From east to west and pole to pole. How we like it! Wassim Halal, Tanya Tagaq, Sarathy Korwar, Svara-Kanti, Suso/Glass, and lots more. Some of these are a bit challenging, but we just know you are up for it. That's why you are here, right?! Fasten your seat belts, and enjoy the ride!!

A full play of Tanya Tagaq's brand new EP, 'Toothsayer'! She continues to grow and expand her sonic reach, as well as exploring other forms. This one is largely ambient in nature (literally) and PACKED with new sounds. It originated as a soundtrack for the UK National Maritime Museum’s permanent 'Polar Worlds' exhibit. Another JUST WOW!

Hi again Shubham. When you were typing, it would have been tail end of the new EP from Tanya Tagaq, 'Toothsayer'. We are now in Simon Thacker's Svara-Kanti / 'The Five Elements'. (And sorry for the typo in your name previously. ;^)

Which year did This Island Earth start Peter

PeterB (host)
Hmmmmm..... That's a bit hard to pin down, as I believe it has gone through a name change or two through the ages. I think it has been in this timeslot for something like 20 - 30 years. If any of the other hosts are out there, and know, perhaps you could chime in. We hope you become a long term listener! Where are you typing in from?
