Previously on Dr. Magic's Audio Lab... Preesall & Knott End Space Gala... launch of the WSS Boobyprise (PTC 5317, Consolation Class) to Moonbase Alpha... I'd snuck an A.I. (Hal) on board so we could do some links on the show... hey, just listen, you'll soon catch up...
Toshiyuki Hiraoka & Hiroo Chubachi treat us to another hot groove from the "Seeker" album, which we've covered before ("Live From Moonbase Alpha"), so instead, let's treat you to a couple of Toshi bonus tracks from The A-Z Of M&E. On the left is one from his 1999 mini album, "T", upon which all the tracks were untitled electronic vignettes; and on the right is one from his 2000 collaboration with Dave-iD Busarus (ex Virgin Prunes), "Bushy Luxury (The Whole Story)", released on Easy Action (UK) and Hard Disc International (Japan)... |

Originally released on cassette and digitised as part of M&E's 25th anniversary celebrations in 2017, the first of two volumes of delightfully out there improvisation and experimentation from two of Japan's best known undergrounders... |

S C E N E I : O N T H E B R I D G E - time to check in with The Cruditron and tell the crew they're leaving for the red planet...
A second track on the show from his excellent "Planetary Fields" album ("Live On Moonbase Alpha" for details again). Still trying to talk him into doing a concept album based on Pluto and getting it reinstated as a planet like it was when I was a kid... https://billyyfantis.bandcamp.com
S C E N E I I : C A P T A I N T O C R E W "Looking backwards, the Earth will soon disappear behind the moon, this Eclipse means you will not see home again for many months. To aid relaxation and ease the anxiety this may cause, Andrés Figueroa and El Zombie Espacial will be performing some cool jazz in 9 Backward. Nice..."
Our electro-experimental collaborator on "Requiem Maternus" gets together with fellow Argentinean artiste, Andrés Figueroa, on a nice avant garde jazz odyssey in honour of the late great American string bass virtuoso, Charlie Mingus. The album is called "Ming Us (meditaciones sobre Charlie Mingus)" and is available either in download format on Bandcamp, or on CD from Machine Tribe. Nice... https://elzombieespacial.bandcamp.com https://andresfigueroa.bandcamp.com O
"Ensign Levente is giving a lecture in the mess hall tonight at 21:00, the subject heading is “Overhearing The Stars” and it’s about the history of the Arecibo Observatory. Refreshments will be provided, you are asked to please refrain from vaping, thank you."
The third of this Transylvanian ex-pat's space themed works that we remixed into the suite, "Astra Cum Distorta", being big fans of his intricate brand of electronic music. This particular piece is from his 2015 album, "Firmamentum". In the words of the man himself; "As a kid watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos on our black and white TV, one of the most awe-inspiring sights for me was, and has remained, that of the vast radio telescope at Arecibo, Puerto Rico. So here is a track inspired and dedicated to this giant monument of scientific exploration, which has been overhearing the stars' myriad wondrous tales over the last decades. The track combines a somewhat vintage feel, considering the observatory's age, with a few elements that hopefully convey the idea of listening to radio waves from afar." And there's a few further tracks from the maestro below, courtesy of The A-Z Of M&E... |
