This Island Earth
Sunday July 26th, 2020 with PeterB (live-ish from home 'Studio X')
Lots of new and new-ish treats, a wander through Afro, South Asian, Middle Eastern sounds, and a dash of "what the &*#@ was that".
For today's 'This Island Earth' misadventure we go from jazzy new stuff, put out by some usual faves in different configurations, some new (to me) finds, a visit with Ian Brennan (prod.), African, South Asian, Middle Eastern sounds, and a happy dose of the unidentifiable.
