Indeed!

Good morning, Rofflestomp.

Hello ǝʌɐꓷ.

🙃

good morning sirs

Good morning, TAndy.

Gentle "Brittany" open. Hi TAndy!

ǝʌɐꓷ, what cool stuff. Not sure if I've actually woken up yet.

Great material played as usual

Don't let me rush you, Rofflestomp.😴💤

🙏 Thanks, Fusionhead. I'm glad you are able to appreciate the selections.

🌕👪👨🏽‍👩🏽‍👧🏽‍👦🏽👫

¡ ǝui̩ʇsi̩ɹɥꓛ `ᵷui̩uɹoɯ poo⅁

I'm a try and just be here, and let the ears sort it out.

This is dream-like...

Hi C!

Good morning, Dave the Obscure 😶‍🌫️, Roffle, Fusionhead, and TAndy. 😎

I have also heard this style of ambient made by Trey Gunn (another disciple of Fripp), and David Torn.

Good morning Fusionhead and Christine. I agree, this Sylbian & Fripp piece sounds like space church music.

Typo, keeping it.

Sylbian & Fripp did some really cool stuff.

RIP Klaus. 🪐

So many Fripp collaborations were very nice. His Daryl Hall and Roaches productions are virtually unknown outside of this treasure trove of WPRB.

Dave, Music with Space isn't for another 14 hours and 21 minutes. But I am rather enjoying this.

Space music is another of my main interests. But I don't air much of it because Michael Hunter does such a great job.

I don't think anyone would complain about a space music show from you. Number 6 did a good job pregameing for Mike two weeks ago, and Tim with his occasional space rock too.

@ Rofflestomp, A dose of Fripp always seems to elevate any project. 🎸

Oh yeah, Number 6 has a great collection of space music.

Yea, Philly was the real start of that full on space vibe. I used to love XPN back in the day prier to really just losing it once they moved from the old house to the new place. I could walk up stairs and see bands interviewed back then. lol

When commenting on the death of Florian Fricke, Klaus Schulze wrote "Today I realize that dedicated musicians from those days, like ourselves, live on borrowed time from the age of 50... But what we have created makes up for spending less time on this planet."

Not sure what I have created in life, But I sure am glad everyone dabbed a color here and there.

Mornings With Space 🌌

Great stuff this am. Loved the Gong people birds, animal sounds thing. And Klaus

Good morning, Brian D. Thanks for the kind words. 🙏

🙏 Thanks to Christine for bringing this Kadef Abgi to my attention!

Kadef Abgi! 💜 A new favorite

DJ Jen Redlights 🚦gets the credit. She started her show with Kadef Abgi the other Friday, and my ears were knocked out.

BAM etc to all

Hey, Chef! Good morning.

@Christine did you find your ears??

This one is definitely on the list yeah. Good blends

Good morning Chef🍳! I picked them off the floor where they landed, yes.

Just got a beautiful Rough Guide comp Music of Yunnan. Area of far SW China near Tibet. Very interesting sounds

-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ is going to want a full report about this ears on the floor business.

Excellent segue.

@ Brian D., those Rough Guide compilations are generally a 'must have'.

🙏

Bari Sax does not have many equals.

Maybe bassoon.

Tuba

Rarefied winds.

*dancing intensifies*

Good morning everyone.

Good morning, DSM. Welcome.

Morning, DSM 🍩

Hi DSM! How do you guys wake up so early so easily? It's like you've been doing it for years. Oh....

That Codona was wonderful. Cherry did so many diverse things. Walcott & Vasconcelos.

Their name could have been Docona. Or Nadoco.

Or using their last names: Chwava.

That’s the 3rd time in this week that I’ve taken note of Don Cherry being played on Prb, I really gotta delve into the 🍒, great stuff

@ DSM, 🎺 certainly a unique trumpeter and composer.

I drove back up Chestnut last night on my bike and someone was playing vibes. Not a 55gal drum, but it reminded me of it.

Docona Codona Nadoco all together has a nice cadence to it

7 ain't never done no one harm.

RIO makes a conscious effort to stray from the corporate 4/4 beats.

Good deal! I still wonder how many souls died during the cut time 70's disco era. This is joyful!

That was fiery

This set is a small preview of the special New Abnormal shows I am preparing about RIO and avant-prog. Maybe late September or October.

Sweet, heads up on that please.

Well played id! Right in the rest

As soon as the shows are ready, I will announce on this show, and try to also get some social media postings through WPRB.

Deftly dropped right in there!

(Station ID)

The New Abnormal specialty shows are always such a treat. Looking forward to it!

@DSM, The New Abnormal has a place on my alarm clock... lol

I am sorry if anyone sacrifices sleep to listen to this show. I know the time slot is inconvenient.

Screeeaming online 🗣️

Thanks for the preview of the upcoming shows, @DTO.

Change is not bad if it is intentional me likes to thinks.

This is too sick

Oh boy, new VWestlife AND new SavageGeese videos uploaded. Combined with this show, and the beautiful blue sky I have to be asleep for, this is a great morning.

piano 😳

Roffle, one of the only times I'm glad to hop out of bed is to turn the radio on for TNA haha. Always a great start to the day/weekend

I really can't find this song anywhere but Amazon music, itunes, or Spotify (🤢)

🙏 Thanks for the kind words, DSM.

You can't find the song? I'm surprised, TAndy. I did not expect Eclat to be too obscure.

This specific version no, the music services only have this song from a live album, in which this song is played at a faster tempo based on the 30 second sample I could hear.

Lovin' this Eclat. Makes me feel like I'm waking up and looking out over the San Pedro harbor, before I head out and chase some crime

TAndy, I have to keep reminding myself I dwell in an alternate universe, where musicianship is appreciated. I forget, sometimes, where I actually live.

The cheapest listing for "Volume 3" on Discogs is going for $12 not including shipping. This song shall elude me for some time unless I find it through other means.

Zeuhl gruel time 🥣

I was thrilled to find Volume 3 in PREX. ¢

DSM, I always get up and listen and just doze off and on with the music mostly. It's a good thing no matter what.

Prog jazz tiz a thing.

that song got the sleep out of my eyes...

I'm rolling in the Zeuhl now

Good morning, Guelo.

Good morning DTO and all. I've been enjoying the show for a while. Just making it to the chat.

>:)

Good morning, Rob F. Thanks for dropping in.

ghost in the machine, deus ex machina, haunted houses, when will it all stop!!

I'm seeing some 6 to 10 dollars pre shipping on Discogs for Eclat Volume 3

Patience, unoclay. At 10:00, it will all stop.

"Oh good", one might say.

ALL OF IT WILL STOP? that doesnt sound good

Many find that good.

https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/3852729?ev=rb

"I've seen all good people turn their heads each day, so satisfied I'm on my way."

baseline!!

"Tubular".

$17 after shipping for the CD, I'd rather pay $10 if it were digitally available. Cheaper for the France listing but I can't trust USPS/customs since my last two Discogs orders, unfortunately.

TAndy I'm seeing a usa listed near mint for 7.99 plus 4.50 shipping = 12.50

$12.49 including shipping TAndy. Scroll.... Topo something or other. Ships from USA

Oh yeah, I like this this guitar and bass!

... and it's over.

Ooh!

I'll have to see if they have anything else worth buying then

@DTO - I'm just slow getting back to the chat

No pressure, Rob F. It's just good to know folks are listening.

Cannot believe it's 9:55.

Will not cry.

Thank you.

But I might throw things!

Oh no. Thanks for the show!

We need MrMalcontent 💀 here.

🙏 Thanks for listening and keeping me company in the chat.

THANK You, DJ Dave the Obscure! 🙏 Super-awesome show this morning. Sad to think this will just disappear into nothing and we can never hear it again.

Grand Kazoo to You. And you

Lumpy G. An album i bought maybe too early in my zappa dives and struggled for many years to "get" it. Definitely influenced me in some ways, but maybe should have been further down my list of zappa gets

Yes, Christine. Plenty of new things to listen to. Must move on.

lets just get this out of the way. tobias. tobias. tobias. etc.

Thanks DTO!

Tee. Oh. Bee Eye. A. Ess.

🍇🛶⛱️

My want / wish lists grow every day thanks to wprb

Want to own all recordings.
