01. Astral Magic with Vibravoid & Bridget Wishart - Galaxy Race

From the single release, coupled with Space Station Mars, call it a double A-side coz we love both these tracks. Hey, you don't get to be the theme tune on a radio station for the best part of a millennium by being slack! Stand on the runway and wait for take off here...

HAL-90S: The mighty Santtu there.

Trundlix: Santa?

Number One: No, Trundlix, Santtu Laakso, the man behind Astral Magic.

 


First Officer’s log, supplemental: We remain in orbit above the planet Apis Mellifera, hive planet of the space bees. The captain is on the surface with the rest of the away team; his daughter Twizz Sigma, Doctor Amokian, the Kawaquad Amokabot, Doctor Patel and our red shirted security extra, Chief Petty Officer Ken Expendable. Skit has been captured by the evil super villain, Milton Keynes, and is being held in his secret lair. Well, it’s not like completely secret, our team know where it is, obviously, and are actively trying to break in to rescue him, albeit whilst struggling with the effects of the toxic pesticide and tea withdrawal symptoms... Commander Slay 'Number One' Skibidy, Acting Captain, WSS Boobyprise (PTC 5317)


HAL-90S: Meanwhile, inside said not so secret lair, Milton Keynes was checking over his ‘Baukasten’. That’s a construction kit to you and I, but it was made in Germany by the Carsten Vollmer Evil Tool Company GMBH, so there you go...

o

02. Carsten Vollmer - Baukasten (3)

Another of the tracks recorded specially for our Space Bees Trilogy, so also watch out for it on the forthcoming benefit compilation! Carsten's a colleague from back in the glorious days of cassette culture, the man behind a lot of delightfully ear damaging sounds with Bar & Co, not to mention the Cat-Killer label. Visit his world here...

03. Magic Bullet - George's Tool (7 Incher)

We needed a cutting tool for the plotline, what can I say? Yes, cutting tool, what did you think we meant? Honestly, go wash your mind out with soap and water, shame on you. Our infamous duet for drums and angle-grinder, as it appeared on Communitas: Volume III. Visit our world... well... you're here already, now I come to think of it...

Milton Keynes: Is that the voice of my former arch nemesis Dr. Patel I hear out there?
Captain Riz Sigma: You know him?
Doctor Faatimah Patel: I thought the voice sounded familiar, Captain. He was an inmate in the Baltimore Hospital

For The Criminally Insane when I worked there as a psychiatrist. A totally evil man, hell bent on ruling the world.

 

   Magic Bullet - Here (video by Gordon Way, pictured right)

 

Whilst not part of the show, a little plot relevant flashback here (no pun intended), back to where you first met Dr. Faatimah Patel, ship's counsellor. The story of this track, from the EFSPACM compilation, "Gordon's Way" (2020), spins the tale of a guilt stricken serial killer who turns to Dr. Patel, in her days as an Earthbound psychiatrist, for redemption...

o

Milton Keynes: Ah, if you could see it, Captain, the Beegatron 4000, a design I stole from a certain Dr. Strattanpossum. Let’s just say he won’t be needing it any more. And when my little friends have finished constructing the Beegatron, the bees will soon be gone. MWAH HA HAH.

04. Strattanpossum - Constructing The Beegatron 4000

Well, it's a couple of years since we've had Doc Possum on the show, so a very warm welcome back, sir, and thanks for doing this track specially for the Space Bees Trilogy. Hey, look, we know you intended your invention to be a giant transformer like bee defending robot, and we were extremely upset to hear Milton Keynes imply he'd had you killed. He is very mean and will NOT be getting a Christmas card from us this year, rest assured. Come on, guys, go buy some stuff from his Bandcamp, help his widow and the dozen or so orphans put food on their table...

05. UNIT - Hubble's Law

The first of two appearances on this month's show for former Apostle (the band, he wasn't a member of Jesus' posse or anything), Andy Martin, and his own intrepid crew. Couldn't just use this one, it's very short, it would have been an insult, but you know, sometimes they just fit the plot and you simply have to use them. Or I could just admit to liking them and making them fit. Okay, guilty. Wait until you hear the title of the other UNIT track I made fit in the show. Hard to find online, try here...

Captain Riz Sigma: What have we got that sounds like weapons fire, HAL?

 

06. RDKPL - Beat Digi Bees

Come on, be honest, it kinda does! Radek won't take that badly, he is the arch duke of noize and proud of it and we love his sonic attacks! This is cut to 5-6 minutes for the show (contrary to the insidious rumours, we DO care about our listeners' aural health), but as it was a Space Bees Trilogy special, you've got the full 11½ minutes on the forthcoming album to look forward to. Many more ways to hurt your hearing enjoyably can be found here, should you dare...
