You know it’s a new year when it’s actually FEBRUARY already. Feck!
Not much new in (relative to last week) tonight, but plenty of awesome stuff that’s still fresh as a very fresh thing… Bunch of tracks to start with from The The, incredible project of Matt Johnson since 1980, from post-punk through to the current day. I’ll play a few tracks from his first few albums, just for a picture of an amazingly creative artist working with samples and loops and weird effects yet creating some great pop music (in the most generalised interpretation of the word)…

heard a lovely track you played at 11:45 on sunday night(6th/ feb), had some crazy percsussive sounds,I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the artist/ track and where I could get it from. thanks for a great eclectic show!
This sounds like it would either have been one of the Amon Tobin tracks, or otherwise End’s track “Go”, from a CD called Percussions, no less… Do you remember what I was talking about when I pre- or backannounced it?
Glad you enjoyed the show :)
