Hello, DJ DaveTheObscure!

Good day, MrMalcontent!

Very nice start to the show!

Thank you, MrM, for the kind words.

whoops i missed the first 22 minutes please forgive me

Missed Kot Kot 😔

No problem, TAndy! Many people have live full lives without The New Abnormal.

Good morning.

Good morning, that sounds painful.

Upon first glance I thought the default spinitron cover art for this Heldon release was a color photo of the demon core

Fun timez here! SHAME on people if they foolishly miss out! 😤 Oh, hi TAndy 😑

Good morning -ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀

cracking open my canterbury creme egg now

Good morning DTO😶‍🌫️ & all

Mmmmm, Canterbury egg... the tastiest....

Good morning, Christine!

Good morning Christine🌞!

Morning, TAndy! 😎

Wilbo played something from this LP earlier this week.

Trower!

Indeed, Brian D.

Good morning Brian and Girugamok

*Gilgamok >:)

Good morning, Gilgamok! Another excellent name choice.

;)

Screeeeeeeaming online 🗣️

Who?

who???

Dave's not here!

🥣 Zeuhl gruel time

mmmm zeuhl AND RIO in one

Zeuhl and RIO have a good deal of overlap.

Delicious. Time to put the kettle on 🫖

I'm drowning in the Zeuhl Rio (zeuhl river)

☕️

this song makes me want to brew some coffee

That's a good instinct.

Followed by an RPI song, wow. DTO pulling out all the stops today

FYI, I will be subbing this Sunday morning 7-10 a.m. I expect the show to be mainly chill.

A little late, but let's give some love to Dün's 🇨🇭 🧀 ☎️.

Oh, Christine! Brilliant! You've got wicked emoji skills!

Thank you all for indulging my silliness.

Very nice to hear, DTO.

So this Sunday we'll all be waking up at 7 am.

Or keep dozing. 😴💤 That's fine, too.

Nothing like African electric guitar

Kanda Bongo Man 💙💛🇨🇩

For sure, those interlocking rhythms get me hooked. I find the same effect with math rock.

Attention!

The great Diblo Dibala on guitar.

Parfait 🎸🔥

Been enjoying new/ old lp from Africa Negra "Antologia Vol 1". From Sao Tomě & Principe. DRC not so far neighbor to the NW

and speaking of math rock...

Antologia 1 has beautiful bubbling major key electric guitars intertwining. Sounds great on a hot lazy summer day or anytime.

Sorry, MrM. Can't repeat.

Nice segue into the math rock!

Thanks for the tip, Brian D. I must check them out.

Super Soundtrack for OceanTime! I mean, ShowerTime! So filthy! Thanks, DJ DaveTheObscure!

ShowerBoy 💀🚿

I’m BAThMan 🦇 🧼

🤗 @Christine!

🧦

Just got home, that Chon really hit the spot.

Chon is always good.

Dave the Obscure, have you heard that new Kadef Abgi album called Diva of Deva Loka?

I'm still working on assembling two special TNA shows that will survey the Rock In Opposition groups and related avant-prog groups. Maybe late September or October.

@Christine, I have not.

Could you describe Kadef Abgi, Christine?

@Dave, Jen Redlights started her show off with them last Friday, and they grabbed a lot of people's ears, including mine. They may be relevant to your interests.

I see it now. Just heard the snippet behind the thumbnail on her playlist. Agreed, I must explore it. Thanks for the tip!

They play jazz, and with Arabic influences. I never knew of them before.

I've seen that album art somewhere else. I am sure another DJ here must have played it, too.

This song sounds sewwwww fanceh

o_o

Wait I thought that ID was part of the song omg

😱

Me too TAndy

🙏 That's why I picked it!

Good morning, Rob F.

Only on The New Abnormal

Good morning Dave and all

Good morning Rob F!

Recherché played a different song from the album Diva of Deva Loka by Kadef Abgi on the same day last week! Cheers to DJ Readie Righteous! And DJ JenRedlights!

That must be it, MrM! Thanks.

This Happy Family is jamming

Hey, Dave Leafey! Welcome.

Dave’s not here!

Who?

DaFuh…

Do you think he's out of tune?

Aren’t we all?

Is he rushing, or is he dragging?

Both?

He's jawning

Like a wizard, they are never late, nor are they early..

Nice Bass

@ Rob F, I was totally surprised when 'New Age' artist Michael Manring took his fretless bass into a jazz/metal direction.

DJ DaveTheObscure, TopNotch Show! Many thanks! Big cheers! Kind regards to you!

🙏 Thanks, MrM!

Final 9 minutes? 😭

Hello. I'm out here. I appreciate the music
