Installment #19. of the Final Countdown aired in October 2018 (c/o CiTR.FM.101.9).

Selections available on this Youtube playlist (not exactly accurate).

The Final Countdown* is Randophonic’s longest and, if we’re doing it right, most relevant countdown yet – the end of result of a rather convoluted process that’s still evolving such is the existential nature of the project question: the 1297 Greatest Records of All Time right now right here. Whatever that means. What it means is dozens of radio programs if all goes to plan, and when has that ever happened?

Youtube playlist [incomplete and slightly inaccurate]. Podcast download (Solid Time begins at around the 5 minute point).

The Solid Time of Change is Randophonic’s latest project, an overlong yet incomplete history of the so-called Prog Rock era – 661 records from 1965 through 1979, presented in countdown form, with which we hope to convey some sense of what was indeed a strange and ambitious time.

“There was a point in the mid-70s when it was easy to think that the Horslips might just be the next big amazing thing. They had a cool Irish folk thing going, and a rock thing, and they could think big, epic even. Which is what Book of Invasions was all about, a goddamned Celtic Symphony, of which Ride To Hell is climax. Unfortunately, it was released in 1977, the year punk truly erupted and laid so much of the old world to waste. Oh well.” (Philip Random)
