Moonlight + Feathers, installment #16 of The Research Series aired in October-2018 on CiTR.FM.101.9.

The sixteenth of a planned forty-nine movies (without pictures), each forty-nine minutes long, featuring no particular artist, theme or agenda beyond boldly going … who knows? Or as Werner Von Braun once put it, “Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.” And we definitely have no idea where all this will take us.

Installment #11 of The Final Countdown aired Saturday-June-9-2018 (c/o CiTR.FM.101.9).

Tracks available on this Youtube playlist (somewhat inaccurate).

The Final Countdown* is Randophonic’s longest, most random and (if we’re doing it right) relevant countdown yet – the end of result of a long process that finally evolved into something halfway tangible in early 2018. The 1297 Greatest Records of All Time right now right here, if that makes sense. And even if it doesn’t, we’re doing it anyway for as long as it takes, and it will take a while.

It’s 1979. The 1960s are long gone. Get over it. Unless you’re Embryo (German hippies with hot musical chops), in which case, you pile into a bus with a film crew and a load of recording gear and go further, go east, across Persia, Afghanistan, down the sub-continent into India, mix it up with masters and untouchables, deliver the ancient news. There’s even a movie about it.

2. The Solid Time Of Change

Part two of The Solid Time of Change aired Saturday May-14, 2016 c/o CiTR.FM.101.9.

 

Youtube playlist (possibly not the exact versions that were played). Podcast download.

This latest Randophonic countdown concerns the  661 Greatest Records of the so-called Prog Rock era, our overlong yet incomplete history of whatever the hell happened between 1965 and 1979 – not in all music, not even in most of it, but definitely in a bunch of it, particularly via bands hailing from the United Kingdom.

What is Prog Rock, and does it somehow differ from Progressive Rock, or for that matter, rock that merely progresses? These may seem simple questions but they are in fact doors that open unto some of the most complex enigmas of this split-atomic age. And what better way to explore them than with a radio journey that shall likely take us a full year.

Part two of our journey went as follows:

  1. Jethro Tull – the mouse police never sleeps.
  2. Jethro Tull – Acres wild
  3. Gentle Giant – cry for everyone
  4. Barclay James Harvest – May Day
  5. Genesis – deep in the motherlode
  6. Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – give me the good earth
  7. Manfred Mann’s Earth Band – Earth the Circle [1+2]
  8. Caravan – in the land of grey and pink
  9. John Miles – you have it all
  10. PFM – the mountain
  11. Roy Harper – The Lord’s Prayer
  12. Embryo – Spain yes, Franco finished
