Tarotplane – Shatner's Bassoon Shatner's Bassoon is the first track on the just released Horizontology album by Tarotplane. You fly through a soft universe, eager to hear what comes next. The cover tempts you to dive in. 2. Helado Negro – Pais Nublado When i saw Helado Negro live i was blown away. His appearance combined with his bilingual poetry about personal and political issues immediately captivated me. His voice feels as warm as the Florida sun playfully flooding the room. The big sticker on my fridge reminds me every time 'this is how you smile'. 3. Pierre Barouh – Le Pollen (only intro) A conversation in a bar, cafe or bistro. Glasses clinking, a phone is ringing, probably people are smoking at the tables, pretty accents. 4. Silver Leaf – Hey! Sweet voice calls hey! and laughs. Here it comes. But it doesn't matter if nothing else comes. Let's go. 5. Serge Gainsbourg – Strip-Tease Instrumental I left out Juliette Gréco's voice, I hope you don't mind. So the melody could also come from a carnival, a merry-go-round, Paris in the 60s. 6. Il Quadro Di Troisi – Non Ricordi What could be better than two artists you love making an album together? I follow both Eva Geist & Donato Dozzy musically. This project is totally successful, a beautiful pop album. 7. Jean-Pierre Decerf – Surrounding Seas Jean Pierre Decerf recorded the Tracks for Space Oddities in the mid 70s. Surrounding Seas sounds just as the title promises. A dreamy flight around the seas. 8. Ssiege – Regina What an album! Luckily it's out on vinyl now, I don't buy tapes anymore. Regina is so good, the sounds, the mood, a perfect track. Ssiege is definitely one of my favourite artists at the moment. 9. Roy & The Devil's Motorcycle – We Don't Know The Roy's are a swiss rock band, consisting of 3 brothers with guitars and a drummer. One of them usually stands with his back to the audience. I have heard them live many times. The song 'We don't know' is the B2 on a 7" with a slightly larger hole than necessary. I love this song it sounds so drunk. The larger hole makes it wobble, which sounds even more drunk. 10. Julianna Barwick – Flowers Barwick's meditative blend of electronica, ambient and pop has an effective healing effect. 'Healing is a Miracle' came out last summer. The basslines, the echoing pads, together with her voice are amazing. The repetitive nature of this song is like a huge thunderstorm approaching or a storm passing by. The album feels so real, accompanied by a magnificent artwork. 11. Squid – Broadcaster “Lyrically the track was inspired by the visual artist Naim June Paik & his TV Garden installation,” the band’s drummer/vocalist Ollie Judge said “I thought it blurred the lines between a dystopian and utopian vision. I imagined what it must be like living synonymously amongst nature & technology in the most literal way I could imagine, with TVs towering over me amongst forests.” Let's take this psychedelic voyage. 12. Black Marble – Johnny And Mary A song born in 1980 and still so fresh 40 years later. A successful homage, it moves you to dance (also good for driving, I tried it). 13. Finis Africae – El Abrazo De La Selva This piece speaks a beautiful peace between modern electric instruments and traditional acoustic instruments from many cultures. Fortunately, you can travel with music. 14. Neo Museum – Area I discovered the song on a compilation of 'Light in the Attic'. It's sung in such a wonderfully weird way. 15. Burnto Bertolucci – Bake Me Dome Tonight This track is a remake of Schneider TM 'The Light 3000', in turn based on The Smiths classic. 16. The Schmutz Sisters – La Folle Finally, one of the best songs i know. The Schmutz Sisters was a Swiss project founded for a performance. Recently reissued on Optimo's So Low label. Play it loud & give the bolero.

097: An Effigy Hologram (David Kitt)

Sansbut - Cantus In Memoriam 5. David Kitt - Wishing Well 6. Mona Lo - Heavy 7. Sansbut - Rêve Élève 8. Spillcrane - Too Long(Everything In Dub) 9. Cornaleena - Dead Esso 10.

Sansbut - Tir Ami Sansbut Vol 1 is out now on Awayday https://sansbut.bandcamp.com Jon has been asking for something for something for Shock World Service for quite a while now and it's a great honour to finally deliver something for the legendary series. Congratulations to Jon for leaving behind such a rich musical archive. My mix features all new unreleased work and mainly features music incoming on my new label Awayday, collaborations with Kevin Barry as Cornaleena, Margie Jean Lewis as Mona Lo, Catherine Sikora as Sansbut and with Stano as Spillcrane. Also featured are three new David Kitt songs from a record due for release on All City in May 2021 with Katie Kim on vocals. It represents a good overview of a lot of what I've been making in the last while and was put together in Paris during an artist residency at Centre Culturel Irlandais. To me it captures the atmosphere of those initial months of coming to terms with this unexpected version of reality we all found ourselves in. – David Kitt Artwork by Mel Keane

096: I Didn't Want The Night To End (Cian Ó Cíobháin)

Shock World Service 096: I Didn't Want The Night To End (Cian Ó Cíobháin) 19/10/2020 Galway, Ireland 1. Phil Lynott - One Wish (Demo with Huey Lewis) Phil Lynott’s friendship with Huey Lewis dated back to the mid-70s and this extraordinary demo, one of the last songs Lynott wrote, was never officially released. 2. John Cale - Dying On The Vine The eternally creative John Cale recorded this around the same time that Lynott collaborated with Lewis on the previous track. 3. OMD - Souvenir Possibly the most beautiful song in the entire OMD catalogue features the band’s keyboard player Paul Humphreys on vocals. 4. Karen Marks - Cold Café Wistful new wave track from Melbourne from ’81. 5. Clannad - Theme From Harry’s Game Regularly played on the radio in the 80s, I had almost forgotten about it until I happened upon a Twitter thread admiring it no end. 6. Lani Hall - Never Say Never Again From an unofficial Bond movie from ’83, I’ve always had a soft spot for the title track, sung by Lani Hall, who was married to Herb Alpert and briefly fronted Sérgio Mendes & Brasil ’66. 7. Sparks - I Want To Hold Your Hand Stunning cover from 1976 of The Beatles standard which was introduced to me by Barry Murphy of The Last Sound. 8. Chris Clark - How About You Chris Clark is one of a very small number of white performers who recorded on Motown during the 60s. 9. Love - My Little Red Book I first heard this when composer Burt Bacharach performed it at Galway Arts Festival in 2019. Next morning, I was on the hunt and discovered a number of covers, including this one from 1965 from the mighty Love. 10. BEAK> - Yatton From one of Geoff Barrow’s post-Portishead Bristol bands. 11. De Ambassade - Geen Genade Like the previous track, this Dutch song has the spirit of 1980s new wave all over it, though it came out in 2016. 12. Turquoise Days - Grey Skies Astonishing synth-pop classic from ‘84 from a duo based in Jersey on the Channel Islands, who released a number of cassettes in the 80s. 13. Ariel Pink - Stray Here With You Only a genius like Ariel Pink would have an unreleased pop gem like this in his locker. It surfaced last year on his ‘Oddities Sodomies Vol 2’ compilation of previously unreleased tracks. 14. Toasted Heretic - Another Day, Another Riot I’ve been after a good quality version of this track for ages - one of Toasted Heretic’s greatest moments, which will forever remind me of moving to Galway. I was thrilled when Neil Farrell, who used to record with the band (and also records as The Melancholy Thug), gifted me with a high quality version a few months ago. Indeed, I borrowed from the lyrics to give this podcast its title. 15. Jan St. Werner - VS Cancelled Jan St. Werner of Mouse On Mars collaborated with The Fall’s Mark E Smith as Von Südenfed. This track features Smith reading an email from Domino detailing why the band had been dropped by the label. 16. The Fall - Paint Work The Fall’s 8th studio LP ‘This Nation’s Saving Grace’ is a masterpiece and this ramshackle track is one of its defining moments. 17. Billy Fury - I’m Lost Without You This track almost sounds like a blueprint for the music of early Tindersticks. Indeed, Morrissey was also a huge fan of this 60s Scouse singer. 18. The Kinks - I Go To Sleep (Demo) We kicked off with a demo and so we’ll part with one. Written by Ray Davies, it was never formally recorded by The Kinks, but has been covered many times since. https://cianociobhain.com/ https://www.rte.ie/rnag/
