RADIO BELBURY PROGRAMME 11

THE LIGHTER SIDE OF CONCRETE AND CLASSROOM PROJECTS

The Parish Council would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to Jez Butler (of Death by Chocolate) for his new album The Lighter Side of Concrete. Its a highly enjoyable and brilliantly executed homage to the work of the BBC Radiophonic workshop's John Baker. Its out on CD on Disques Boum on 15th October and can be pre-ordered here and now. You can stream preview clips right here...

Also gratefully received from Trunk Records, Classroom Projects is a magical compilation of 60's and 70's school records. These gems  are much beloved by some of the longest serving Ghost Box artists and are in evidence here and there in their back catalogue. Fans of the Toys and Techniques blog will love this strangely beguiling selection ranging from the light and folksy to the darkest avant garde. Naturally enough Ghost Box are all over this one, its remastered by Jon "Advisory Circle" Brooks and cover art is by Julian "Focus Group" House. Available now with preview clips in the Trunk Shop, CD and DL only (the LPs are sadly all gone by now).

 



TOYS AND TECHNIQUES MIX FOR TRISH

Ben Graves has put together an incredible mix as a tribute to Trish Keenan , to remember her birthday.



 

STUDY SERIES 10 - BELBURY POLY AND SPACEDOG

The concluding single of Ghost Box's Study Series is due for release on 16th October. Belbury Poly collaborate with Brighton based cabaret electronics trio, Spacedog on two tracks that explore their overlapping areas of interest. The results are haunted by Jenny Angliss's mannered vocals, Sarah Angliss's elegant theremin and electronics and Jim Jupp's dusty analogue synths.

It has the usual luxurious Julian House designed packaging and comes in heavyweight vinyl. Available on 7" or download,  PRE-ORDER NOW from the Ghost Box shop. (Ghost Box shop customers ordering the 7" will be entitled to a free download version on the release date.)
