January 2011

1. Kevin Eldon - Je Ne Parle Pas Anglais From the depths of the Resonance FM archives comes this massive dose of French from comedian Kevin Eldon, who was in the greatest comedy series of all time (and certainly the one with the best soundtrack).
2. Oval - Alpaca A ringtone from the Oval album "O" which should still be floating out on the internet somewhere.  If not, it's available on disc two of the album.
3. Matt Elliott - The Sinking Ship Song This track is from the criminally underrated The Mess We Made album by Third Eye Foundation's Matt Elliott.  He also performed some of the music from the aforementioned Jam.
4. Tamponi - Profondita This piece of library music comes from the depths of the Lunar Atrium blog.  That's all the info I have on it.
5. The KLF - Trancentral Lost My Mind From the depths of the long out-of-print KLF discography, this tune is off of Chill Out.  Oh, and just in case you don't have enough Extreme Noise Terror in your day, you can get some here.
6. Peter Howell and Paddy Kingsland - Marshmen This is off of the Meglos/Full Circle Doctor Who soundtrack. Great sinister noodling synths.  Much better than the soundtrack for the current series.
7. Dave Vorhaus - The Rhesus Rhythm Band A great Radiophonic Workshop-related musician.  He is probably best known for being in White Noise with Brian Hodgson and Delia Derbyshire, but is a wonderfully quirky composer in his own right.
8. Harry Forbes - Microchips 1 Another piece of library music without much info.  If this kind of thing appeals to you, check out Johnny Trunk's OST podcast.
9. Pye Corner Audio - Electronic Rhythm Number Seven The Head Technician over at Pye Corner Audio produces some wonderfully dark and dirty radiophonic synth work.  Both volumes of the great Black Mill Tapes can be found here.
10. Keith Seatman - A Dirty Thought I only have nice things to say about Keith Seatman, as he might be listening.  Go out and buy Consistently Mediocre and Daydreams.  That is all.
11. Killing Joke - Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell Apparently I blinked and completely missed this album when it came out.  There's a great video for this track full of face-painted Jaz Coleman insanity and fire.  Lots of fire.  Do yourself a favor and catch them if they're touring in your area, as they're an amazing live band.
12. Mount Vernon Arts Lab - The Submariner's Song When an artist has connections to Ghost Box and Coil, they must be doing something right.
13. J.D. Doche - Aire De Fanchon La Vielleuse Hurdy gurdy, sir?  Why yes, don't mind if I do.
14. Cyclobe - How Acla Disappeared From Earth I've been a casual Cyclobe fan for a while, but this album really resonated with me.  Again, the Coil connection is nothing but a good thing.  Apparently Stephen Thrower and Ossian Brown both have books out.
15. Fondation - Climat Nocturne I have very little information about this band aside from the Mutant Sounds description, so I won't repeat it here.
16. Manorexia - Ten Ton Shadow I really like the direction that JG Thirlwell has pulled his musical career as of late (by "as of late" I mean the last decade).  If you have been stuffing newspaper in your ears for the past 30 years, you should really dig into his catalogue.
