RADIO MESSAGE FROM EARTH (07.DEC.2024 09:43 UTC): "This is Planet Earth calling Captain Riz Sigma, over! Hi, daddy. We hope you are having a lovely time up there in space. Oh, mummy says to tell you the papers want to know whose shirts you wear. I don’t know why that’s funny. We just wanted to tell you that we miss you and love you very much. Happy Christmas, daddy, from me and mummy and all the people on Earth!"
Although I see the name Jesús Alfaro on social media frequently, I had no idea of the extent of his work until my attention was drawn by a tribute being organised by the Hamfuggi label, which is hugely respected in the experimental field. That lead me to check out his album "Planets", because... well... that's where the show is going at the moment! This edition was originally planned to start from Mars, but I hope you'll agree this one was worth squeezing in first. And thanks to our Twizz for recording the opening message for context... https://elmasmore.bandcamp.com
o 02. Charles Rice Goff III - A Rooster Crowing On Mars (3:00) The Herd Of The Ether Space / Taped Rugs / Deprogramming Center man back for a third appearance on the show, this one being from the album "Language For Unstated Thoughts", and all that with a name worthy of being the NASA liaison for Preesall Town Council's MARS 24™ mission. I can't help thinking this veteran of the cassette culture scene will not have been heard on our airwaves for the last time. I'm not clairvoyant, but I am the one who decides what goes on the playlists. Oh, such power, such responsibility... ;-> https://archive.org/details/LanguageForUnstatedThoughts
03. Astral Magic - Shadows Over Jupiter (Remixed) (7:12) This Finnish space cadet is becoming something of a regular on the show too, and with such a prolific output, we're never gonna struggle finding new tracks. This one, unsurprisingly, is taken from the album of the same name. Some lovely guitar work on here, thought it would make a nice change as we're all electro-experimental weirdy bits normally. Enjoy... https://astralmagic.bandcamp.com
o 04. Peter Missing / M. Habicht / Hackbert - Call Back From Saturn / Marsunium (9:26) You'll probably know the name of Peter Missing already, he's been in the game longer than I have, best known for Missing Foundation in the 80's. Later a resident in Zurich, where "River Of Creative Forms III" was recorded in 2022, now back in the U.S.A. from where he originated. This is the accomplished work of a man who has been on a big journey, plus with the excellent enhancement of Messrs. Habicht and Fausch. And there's a very interesting interview with Peter on the Walk On The Wild Side NYC blog, I'll add the link... https://petemissing-mhabicht.bandcamp.com https://walkonthewildsidenyc.substack.com/p/peter-missing-missing-foundation
05. Ståålfågel - Utan Rymddräkt På Uranus II (2:59) It's Swedish, the title means 'on Uranus without a spacesuit', which is not going to end well. The band name, according to Google Translate, means 'Eel eel', something's not quite right there, but that's certainly not the music, nice bit of dub to dance around in your space boots to. The band, it turns out, originated from the post punk scene in Stockholm in the late 70's, this track coming to our attention via the Emotional Rescue label, doing pretty much what it says on the tin, and my thanks to Stuart for that, keep the faith... https://emotional-rescue.bandcamp.com/album/utan-rymddr-kt-p-uranus o
Another new name to the show here, a French ambient musician with a great interest in Fripp and Eno's experiments with Revox tape recorders, should give you some clue as to where he's coming from. This track comes from "Music For Unknown Worlds I", released some 2½ years ago, and I will definitely be coming back to his more recent material, but this was too perfect for the storyline to miss! It's part of a 39 minute suite, in which an hour a month on the radio doesn't allow me to fully indulge, but I hope my edit does it some justice. So do treat yourself to the whole piece when you get the chance, it's quite magnificent... o https://christianwittman.bandcamp.com
As the running time may imply, this is a track the Greek electro-experimentalist produced for one of Shaun Robert's musique concrète compilations, namely "Oeuvres Pour l'Orchestre Toujours Présent". There was no way I was going to miss Pluto out, I was really quite pissed off when the powers that be re-classified it, feel like I was robbed, grew up with nine planets, now I only have eight. Pluto will always be a real planet to me and my gratitude to Mr. Flow for his musical acknowledgement. Rant over. For now... https://ifarmusiqueconcretecompilation.bandcamp.com/album/oeuvres-pour-lorchestre-toujours-pr-sent
And why end there? There's all them little planetoids at the edge of the system, had to include at least one of them, and Eris is right at the fringe before interstellar space, which is where I fear our intrepid crew will be heading next. So, Bamboo Acrobat; aka Ben Price, sent me this album around four years ago, originally released on Broken Tape Records, on which we (Magic Bullet) has our own first album released, which I would guess is why he got in touch. Of course, I didn't have a radioshow back then, so it just sat in my own personal collection, until I rediscovered it recently when searching out material for this little adventure. And now I can't get hold of Ben at all. Sod's Law, we call that. So, if any of you know him (originally from Jacksonville, Florida), tell him to get in touch, appreciated... https://bambooacrobat.bandcamp.com/music
Speak of the devil. Something festive to finish off with, from last year's "White Noise Christmas III" compilation on Default Standard... https://defaultstandard.bandcamp.com/album/dsr-2024-white-noise-christmas-iii o DATELINE 08.DEC.2024 03:52 UTC: "Captain to crew. We have travelled a long way in a very short time, we find ourselves many miles from those we love. But we are a family and we will get through this together. And to our listeners, we thank you for your company, and wherever in the cosmos you may find yourself for the holidays, this is Captain Riz Sigma and the crew of the Starship Boobyprise wishing you a very merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.
