06. Bloom - The Dark Room

You'll undoubtedly know the name of Deborah Fialkiewicz, she's been on the show a couple of times now, but this track isn't one of her solo offerings, tis rather a collaborative side project with Dan Dolby (very inappropriately named for this piece!) and John Koser. A lovely doom laden work that hits like a wall of darkness that you can't pull you ears away from. It's drawn from the mini album, "The Improvisation Sessions (Vol. I)", where you can hear it in its fully 12 minute glory...

07. Howl in the Typewriter - Second Fix

pStan Batcow (it's a silent 'p', don't get me started) may well have also kept hearing a little clip that goes... ♪♫ dripping honey from a buzzy bee ♪♫ ... and guilty as charged, it is indeed nabbed from an old song of his called "Family", taken from the delightfully named 1992 album, "Dog Turd In Shrewsbury".

The featured track, however, is from the far more dignified "Cutting Wood When The Wood Is Blowing".

He's got so much more cultured as the years have passed. Unfortunately, I haven't. Wood. Snigger...

08. New Zero God - Tell The Bees

This month's "live in Nine Backward" act, fronted by old friend Mike Pougounas, most famous for his days with Greek goth legends The Flowers Of Romance, his Blackout Radio Show, and getting me very drunk on ouzo on Shepherd's Bush Green in the mid 90's. Nowadays still recording and performing with NZG, as well as hosting the show, this track taken from their latest album, "Of Love And Death". Gothic soft jazz, got to be a new sub genre, hasn't it? Nice...

09. 6 9 N & F - Space Bees Dub

Another of the tracks done specially for our Space Bees Trilogy, this one coming from Carsten S himself at the excellent Klappstuhl Records, one of those glorious old tape labels that have survived and adapted to the digital era. First label to release a collection of my own MMATT stuff in the digital age, in the shape of "Flashbax Ω Ultimate", pretty damned good 'best of' set, even if I do say so myself. And a heads up; it's Klappstuhl that will be releasing "The Bridge", a special album to celebrate my 40 years in underground music this year. I was thinking the cover design should be me waving my bus-pass, looking for my slippers and smelling of wee...

10. Grosso Gadgetto - Brutal Attack

A bit of French musical adventurism here, taken from his 2025 album, "It's Not Science Fiction", mastered by none other than Julien Ash, who you'll know from the recent appearance of Nouvelles Lectures Cosmopolites on our playlist. I like the versatility of this project, this is quite different to the last of his tracks we had on the show, and perfectly titled to accompany Milton Keynes' weapons barrage on our courageous crew. Yes, absolutely, music to get shot by. And so much more...

11. Charles Rice Goff III & General Ken Montgomery

Oh, be still my beating and nostalgic heart... a cassette release in 2025, there IS a god! CRG3 (to his friends) dedicated this cassingle (ask your dad) to the late and much lamented Lord Litter, which automatically makes it a winner in my eyes. But when I listened to the flipside, it sounded so much like bees being poisoned with psychoactive chemicals (and I mean this in a good way!), it simply had to be included in the show. CRG3 has been on several times before, he's another one like Igor Amokian, just makes so many quirky sounds that fit the RTTS concept like a glove. Gen Ken, bizarrely, and in spite of him being such a hugely well known figure through the cassette culture years and beyond, I have never crossed paths with, so can't really tell you much of anything. Huge respect for his work though. I must be hallucinating. I mean, does it get any better than this...

12. Magic Moments At Twilight Time - Bumble Bees On Acid

Yes, it was indeed on the show last October when I was doing a call out for material for The Space Bees Trilogy, but how could I NOT use it here? It was made for it. Right, make sure you're sat down for this bit; it's originally from the 1988 mini album "The Time Machine", in which Shona Moments, Kate Twilight and Jay Time went back to 1986 in the Ford Escortron (come on, you know I'm not making it up, you've seen pictures) to help me make the "W20 Advance Guard" debut demo I did on my own better. I'm sure loads of bands do this with their first demo, they're rarely as good as you'd like. Anyway, the whole of the second take version is now available as part of "Flashbax Vol. 7", available on the Alternate Media label. Simples...
