This Island Earth
Sunday April 26th, 2020 with PeterB
LIVE-ish, from home 'Studio X'!! A sandwich of new stuff, calming and contemplative minimalism, and big beats. Music for chill and hunker, from all over the pan-galactic musical map.

Glad to be back in the virtual chair with a home recorded episode of This Island Earth, sorta live on the airwaves in our usual timeslot, from 'Studio X'. Today we'll feature loads of new stuff, some nice long contemplative chill from Terry Riley and collaborators, and Afro Futurism / Afro Beat that cannot be beat. Enjoy! PLEASE hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!! Especially any and all feedback on the quality of the home recording.

FEATURE. Terry Riley. Pure genius of deep sounds and one of the driving forces of minimalism. Very "human" and contemplative, "present" in nature. What we need.

Get out your very best headphones now... Relax into the trance...

Thanks all! It is of course a steep learning curve to figure out how to do the home 'Studio X'. And a lot of new-to-me work. But very gratifying to hear it on air. Also on Loosely Connected (Weds noon) if all goes well. Your nit-picks here PLEASE!

Sir Heavy. Yup, International Anthem label is all killer, no filler. i dare say ALL of the new stuff on this 1st set here is really, really good.

PB, just tuned in right on time to catch In C Mali. Very cool, and sounds great.

PeterB (host)
Indeed. Terry Riley's 'In C' is totally trance-inducing, in all of it's infinite variations. i think In C Mali is my favorite.
