16/11/08 - INSANITY PLAYLIST (FOR OUR MAN G!)




Holy Spinach half naked after being hit with an egg. Dandy Highwayman wiggin' out in general excited fashion. Love To Make Noise on air and full of the following...

Acid - Hipguard: a totally outstanding kick-ass rare groove hit to kick off the show from Austrian prog-funk adventurers, Acid, circa 1970.
Seyoum Gebreyes And Wallias Band - Muziqa Muziqa: From the Ethiopian Soul And Groove compilation on Ethiopique. Killer jam lead by the crazed wails of some righteous bop fundamentalist and a frantic extended organ solo that twists and peaks and breaks itself in feral ceremony.
James Chance & The Contortions - Design To Kill: Innovators in the New York No-Wave scene in the late seventies bring their savage mix of punked-up, avant-jazz and funk to Egham's airwaves.
The Click - Kashmeer Brothers Remix: From a Fania remix sampler... Irresistable latin grooves, splashes of funk, a little jazz, totally hot and sweaty.
Aguaturbia - Erotica: Chile's leading psychedelic rock pioneers of the early seventies pushed the boundries of sex and religion throughout their career, this steamy jam is no exception.
El Guincho - Costa Paraiso: From the brand new LP out on (once again) Young Turks. Absoloutley essential pop music from Barcelona that is the freshest thing we've heard all year; repetitive, almost tribal jams that sound like they could have been recorded at the height of pscyhedelia. A serious recommendation!
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Automatic Faggot for the People: A loping, laid back shoegazer from the psychedelic veterans.
Holy Fuck - Safari (Foals Version): Flip of the new Young Turks covers disc. Foals turn in an experiment, laying down their trademark math pop rhythm that runs like a post motorik pulse through a swirl of delayed, spaced out fuzzzzz. Limited release, worth tracking down.
Karl Schiller - High: Sample a nonsensical German political speech, add mammoth amounts of smooth jazz stylings and come out smiling.
Joe Cuba - Joe Cuba's Madness - From New York Latin Hustle! on the faultless Soul Jazz imprint, a compilation of awesome latin/funk/rhythm...
Metro - A pénz: More funk rock from the burgeoning late sixties scene in eastern Europe, keeping a tight hold of that pop sound but scrambling it up for your pleasure.
Brian Auger And The Trinity - Black Cat: Freaked out jazz fusion.
Stu Phillips - Ampersand: A choice soundtrack nugget from Russ Meyer's cult classic Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.
Sun Ra And His Arkestra - D.27: Abstract jazz from Sun Ra and his ensemble of noise makers. Total freedom.
Black Lips - Leroy Faster: Double A-side to their anthemic 'Bad Kids' single earlier this year, Black Lips serve us up a hipster's cautionary tale in their very own jangle pop style.
Dixie Cups - Chapel Of Love: 60's girl group pop at its best.
Stephane Grappelly & His Hot Four (featuring Django Reinhardt) - I Got Rhythm: World famous gypsy jazz troupe do what they do best here. Keeping it real back in the thirties.
Boards Of Canada - Dandelion: Quirky skit from a quintissential electronica album, Geodaddi.
Benga - Benga's Off His Head: Crucial dubstep that's been around a little while. Vicious track that is guaranteed to get knees wobbling, ribs cracking, dancefloors splitting under the weight of low end bass. For our man George! And also Matthias, who plays the slot before us.
Errors - Toes: A jolting mathy-electro popper from the scots on Rock Action records.
Nathan Fake - Long Sunny: As the title suggest, cinematic electronica that soars with warmth. Pools of bass, swirling effects, wall of hazey noise. Totally euphoric.
Electric Light Orchestra - One Summer Dream: Dreamy, tripped-out balladry from the legendary prog-pop pioneers.
The Shangri La's - Sophisticated Boom Boom: Classic girl vocal group. Excellent pop tune that swings with sixties swagger. A gem found on late night radio (though not at all obscure), kind of like an epiphany. Pure pop gold.
The Chocolate Watch Band - Sweet Young Thing: Filthy blues psych from West Coast rockers, The Chocolate Watch Band. These guys were part of the huge psychedelic scene between 65 and 67 and have left us a hefty legacy to indulge in.
Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime: One of the best songs of all time?
Wimple Winch - Atmospheres: True homegrown british hard rock from the late sixties. Close harmonies and lots of soul.
The Rance Allen Group - Lying On The Truth: A clash of upbeat soul, excited funk and slabs of rock n roll. Typical fusion from the 70's, when ideas began to merge and revoloution was committed to tape.
Steve Walker & The Bold - The Train Kept A Rollin': 'Take a trip!' screams Walker at the climax of this early punk reinvention of the old rock 'n' roll standard. After hearing this i think we can see where he's coming from. A true gem.
Hirut Beqele - Temeles: More ethiopian soul and groove
Monks - Blast Off: Avant pop trailblazers The Monks started off playing as American GIs at barracks across Germany in the late fifties. They ended up changing the face of music as we know it.
Fever - Sinden Remix: More from Fania, awesome remix by king of bass, Sinden. All wonky, with an awesome vocal sample.
Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug: Ending in style this week with the funk pop classic that is 'Love is the Drug'.
