Sound Quality

In 1979, an album was released that changed my view on where music could go. It was called Y and was made by The Pop Group. Nearly 30 years later [and 12 years after his last release] The Pop Group's vocalist/lyricist, Mark Stewart returns with his spin on sonic assault and political insights into contemporary urban life. This week's show starts off with two tracks form this album. Then there is some Scottish electroacoustic work, organ music from Switzerland, Ryuichi Sakamoto teaming up with David Sylvian and some Giorgio Moroder inspired house to round out the first hour.

The second hour start with a mini mix from the name behind Soma records, Slam. Then new electronic sounds from Toby Tobias, new All India Radio, Vanessa Paradis and El Guincho before we get to this week's solid steel radio show selected and manipulated by Daedelus.
