It has only taken me a year and a half to get around to the second Deep DIve (!) - I was going to put this out in a few months after the first Deep Dive but never got around to it. The catalyst for this bonus podcast was a new controller - the five year old trusty Numark DJ2Go2 as seen in my old streams has started to have That Button Problem. So I decided to slightly upgrade to the Hercules Starlight - and despite the frankly pants name, it's a great controller. Much better than my old one. So after already speaking for over an hour on an interview about podcasting (news on that to come), I decided to wreck my voice even more and do a rare theme podcast - this one is rather downtempo, but not depressing, Night flex and chill, as ver kids might say. So we range from acid country to new age, Arabic electronica to Bollywood disco, Japanese city pop to Scottish indie/folktronica, indie covers to library music, psychedelic disco and songs about trees, social programming and microchips as we drift through time and space, deep dive deeper and deeper into the inky black.

Beverly Glenn-Copeland - Color Of Anyhow The Monkees - Tapioca Tundra The Horrors - I Can See Through You (Blanck Mass Remix) Ahmed Fakroun - Nisyan Hannah Peel - Unheard Delia, Pt. 1 Ego Ella May - How Long 'Til We're Home Transcript Hello and welcome to Radio Clash, this is 384 and it's the second of the Deep Dive seriesfinally after year and a half and it's Tender Silence of Night.That was Martyn Bennett, they've sadly missed Martyn Bennett with Hallaig and that's samplingSorley MacLean, one of the best Highlands poets ever and I love that by the end which I leftwhere you hear him here speaking in Galleg which was his native language, his first language.That was from Bothy Culture, very influential album, Bothy Culture from 1996 and then before thatyou heard Mashrou' Leila, also sadly departed although the members are still alive but the band calledit a day. Back in September that's El Mouqadima, I don't know, probably pronounced that wrongand that's from 2019's Beirut School and when I put this mixed together they were still agoing concern although they were having a lot of aggro from the authorities and this is 384Deep Dive 2 or the first of the Deep Dive podcast was done all the way back in January 2022 and theidea was to do a Deep Dive, hence the name, in the something like a hundred gigabytes of tracksI'll have a look, it is 103 gigabytes of music that I have in my to play folder and the idea wasto do many more of these and this podcast was a stopgap of when I'm like oh well I just want apodcast but I don't have a show prepped and it just happened to be I never got around todoing the next one which is crazy, I looked I was like really a year and a half ago and I don't domany theme podcasts, I've just done an interview with Dean Whitbread for the History of Podcastingpodcast and I mentioned that, that I don't do many theme podcasts anymore and I just finishedthe interview and went well it's all set up anyway I'm here as we'll do another podcast even thoughI've just put out 383 so I'm not exactly sure when I put this out but it's a bit of a summerstopgap because I don't know what's happening with the summer and when I'm going to podcastand what's going on podcast wise so this is a useful thing and also I have to say I wasrather reticent to put this one out well for a variety of reasons but main one beinginitially I thought it was a very dumb tempo it was created around the time Michael Nesmithdied so there's a couple of Michael Nesmith tracks in here or there's a Michael Nesmithtrack and a monkey's track later on which is coming up next and I thought oh it's too downbeatit's got lots of things you probably don't know things you should know and there's someknown things in there as well but there's some known unknowns I don't know if there's anyunknown unknowns but there is lots of new music and I've just been listening to six music andnow start doing the New Music Fix at 7 p.m just playing new stuff and I'm sort of inspired becausethat's sort of why I've been moaning about six music for a long time they should play new musicand it's like well do what I preach about so these are very much deep cuts deep dives throughwhat I like the kind of off cuts that didn't make it into other podcasts because not becausethey're not amazing they're all amazingly good music it's more the fact that I worry aboutwhether anyone will get them and whether anyone will like them because the hard sell playingeither very new stuff or ambient out there stuff so this is a lot of library music a lot of new agea lot of it's not all down tempo but it's not depressing I was worried that it was like andlisten I went through it a couple of days ago because I've got a new controller it's the otherthing I want to blow my new controller I've got a Hercules Starlight controller which I have to sayan amazing upgrade from my old Numark DJ2Go2 the one before all the touch wheels theybrought out the touch wheels in response to this controller and just the problem is that a bitlike Adriana's controller she's got an old Kaos controller Korg Kaos the buttons started togo so I was like well it's not worth trying to fix something like that and I've always wanted toget one of these even though it's about the same sort of price and I do recommend it I think it'sbetter than Numark but the touch DJ2Go2 is good as well but mine was the old one and I lovethe fact that you can do spins and you've got the touch and stability you can just stop tracksby touching that's very helpful for DJing so anyway enough DJ talk I said I'd play a trackby Mike Nesmith this is from his second national band something that I think a lot of people don'tknow there was this hinterland post Monkees where he did very psychedelic country even more so onthis album which is tantamount to treason uh volume volume one and it's really beautiful it is verysimilar to some of the things he did during the Monkees which are more psychedelic I'd say it'sa shame that people don't know more about Mike Nesmith's post Monkees career people know Rio butthey don't seem to know much about the other stuff well we're checking out so this is in the afternoonAnd that was obviously well not obviously I mean I've heard it before but I suspect everyone'sheard it by now that's Takeuchi Mariya I think Mariya Takeuchi with Plastic Love the 12 inch originalversion the remixes just the original version from what was it have I put the dating properlyno it says 2014 it's 1980s it's 1980s Tokyo City Pop and for some reason in the 10s it was recommendedto a lot of people because YouTube algorithm picked on it and then it suddenly everyone went intowhatever on but a lot of people got into city pop had it appearing on the timelines probablybecause it sounded like something else that was big because a lot of that 80s pop is very similarI mean Dua Lipa definitely influences I've heard mashups for that would do a lipo andvarious other people but I love that and they're in an English version there was bits of English inthere but I always prefer the Japanese version it just seems to have something to it that just worksway better than the English version recorded at the time so it's not like they've since put ittogether and again at the time when that was released completely just not a hit just thankwithout a trace even in Japan and then just gets resurrected 30 years later by YouTube algorithmand suddenly it forms all over it and I fell into a rabbit hole of City Pop then before that we hadAlisha Chinai and Vijay Benedict with Zindagi Meri Dance there's going to be lots of pronunciationproblems in this podcast there's going to be lots of issues with pronunciation I can tell you thatfor free and that's from Bollywood Freak Out compilation from 2013 again a big fan of Bollywoodmusic and psychedelic Bollywood or disco Bollywood specifically you might have heard of CheekyAbba Steel they all your love on me was stolen in that but I love the space theme I don't knowthe movie I assume it's for a Bollywood movie but it's you know Venus and Mars and whateverit's interesting because I was listening to Planetarium by Sufjan Stevens andBryan Dessner and Nico Mohlny that kind of hits the space theme way better than most of the albumdoes the album has got very strange production even though the songs are good sometimes it justdoesn't really hit on the production and and that works better as a space theme than than most ofthat album then before that we had some very old-school Arab Electronica that's Halim El-Dabhwith Wire Recorder Piece from 1959 yes early acoustic electronic electric experimentsand that's from a compilation called Crossing into the Monetic Electric and again I am amatter fan of Arab Electronica Arab disco Arabic world everyone has this assumption that anywhereoutside the west is a bit behind the times that's not necessarily true and also they had a lot offunk and disco and it kept that torture live a lot longer than the west and all this disco sucksand all that stuff as well so anybody who still likes disco post in 1980 yeah I'm a fanand then before that we had Enya talking to Electronica at Aldebaran from 1987's Enya and Ithink that might be why it says 87's Enya I think it might be from the Celts album I thinkit's interesting how Enya's been reapplied because I mean Clannad haven't unfortunatelyand I'm a big fan of Clannad and so of course I was all over Enya figurativelyphrasing but you know she was briefly or for about a year or two I mean she's a sister ofthe people in Clannad she's part of that big Brennan family and Eithne that she's Enya EthniI'm probably pronouncing that wrong but it's Eithne Brennan I think is her namebut although then yeah that's probably probably how you say it actually I don't know much aboutGaelic and my Gaelic is very limited and yeah she started out doing a BBC Celts and then herfirst album was around this sort of times yeah I was very much into that melding of electronicand Irish music because Clannad also branched out into more pop and more electronics but she wasin there when they were very very trad very trad and then before that we had Vc PeopleBomarzo from 1980 now that is obscure I can't remember much about them they are part of acosmic folder I found on Soulseek many years ago it is wonderful when you find a big dump of filesin a certain genre and someone's collated them and you're like this is brilliant this is allhard to find anywhere else and you'd spend decades trying to find on vinyl so you knowit's always good to find that sort of thing and I'm not sure who put it together but it wasa lot of music on this podcast that is of a more obscure electronica sort of 1980s 1970sKrautrock Cosmic Disco weird stuff a lot of it especially in the early years after I afterthe hiatus came from that it's just you know a wonderful wonderful folder of music I spentquite a few months delving through all that's one of those I think then before that we had fromthe Rough Guide To Psychedelic Bollywood we had Kumar Sanu with Piya Tu Ab To Aaja I thinkI'm sure people who know Hindi are laughing at that and that's from 2014 although it's not from2014 but the compilation is from 2014 again a lot of that more psychedelic disco electronicHollywood is from 70s 80s some sort of 90s the taste became more slender on more popin the 90s with Bollywood there's always quite a lot of stealing from the West andborrowing genres and the styles and put them together a bit like a lot of Japanese musicit's interesting because they don't necessarily understand the context so they're put togetherin sort of very unique ways but I would say the heyday of that very strange wonderfully strangewonderfully unique sounding mashup it is a kind of a mashup of Indian culture and western culturehappened around the 70s 80s and early 90s and then before that we had Camera Obscura fromScotland that's I'm Not In Love that's a session that's a radio session Dermott O'Learysession from 2015 and then the start of that section we had Michael Nesmith and The SecondNational Band with In the Afternoon from Tantamount To Treason I re-recommend you check outTantamount To Treason it's from 1971 I think it was a second one because I think there was acouple of albums by The Second National Band and I think that was good and the other one's a bitnot so interesting I think it was the second one and it seemed to be that he went more and morepsychedelic and then he just cancelled that and went into doing basically inventing MTVand doing the video stuff and and going more pop that's a shame I did like a national band but againno one was interested or honestly no one but not very many who were interested at the timeand that's such a shame because I would say it is brilliant so we're gonna play a track by RonGeesin and this is from a library record but a lot of Ron Geesin's work is library musicbut his electronic artist is Scottish and very well worth listening tothat was Belbury Poly with Time Scale from 2009 from an ancient start a brilliant albumwhat I think Belbury Poly has ever really beaten the album although their work alongwith advisory circle with John Foxx is the high point of Ghost Box Recordings but yeah I thinkthe best Belbury Poly album is still From An Ancient Star although I've not checked in withthem very recently although I occasionally look into what Ghost Box are up to then before thatwe had Enya with uh here we go Deireadh An Tuath I think as I said my Gaelic is not goodand I checked though it's called Enya album it was a rebranded version of the soundtrack forthe Celts so BBC production and that's before Watermark which is 1988 which was a big thingwhere she hit the big time Sail Away Sail Away and then before that we had Bernard Fevre withOdyssee from 1977 I love Bernard Fevre I'm now blanking on whether it's actuallysomeone else under assumed name so many of the library artists are somebody else under anassumed name but I don't think so in that case but I could be wrong and somebody who is alwayshimself Ron Geesin with Upon Composition and that's from his 1973 As He Stands album yes he'sScottish I was looking up his bio and I was like yes Scottish I work with Pink Floyd and Roger WatersI think I've done a fair bit of how do you describe it engineering and helping peoplerealise sound like a lot of the early synth pioneers had to build their own synths and Ithink he's one of those they built his own instruments and they quite often helped otherpeople to to do things as well pop stars and established acts to sort of help realise theirideas and that obviously covers not only is this taste for Radio Wonderful leave Wonderfully Emptywhereas Radio One but also talking about composition and interruption but you can see thehumour in there and Ron Geesin's work is full of humour and I really recommend you check RonGeesin out then before that we had Video Sex I love the name I forget where they are in theeastern bloc are they I don't think the Ukrainian but they're that part of the worldand that's Spacelab bonus track from their reissue of their album Ljubi In Sovraži from 1991but it's reissue 1992 with the Spacelab graphic cover on it and it is long I mixed it in there butit's what nine minutes eight minutes long something nine minutes 40 but it's a really good cover ofSpacelab with those voices and yeah I can't exactly remember where video sex is from I don'tknow if they're Hungarian Bulgarian that part of the world or they're Czech I could always I couldalways check I could always check haha that's Czech where are they from Slovenian former Yugoslaviabut not the former Yugoslavia that's the band but Slovenian I knew they were Eastern bloc-yand pre the fall of the Berlin Wall as well so then before that we had Hannah Peel withEvocative the Paddy Kingsland remix Paddy Kingsland channeling I think Spacelab I mean that justthat's the reason why I put this two together all those many years ago or you know I've gotthey yeah it sounds like Spacelab especially the star I was like Spacelab and that's from2021's Unheard Delia I think it was an EP I've played one of the Delia sampling tracks beforeand you might hear it later on but that was one of the originals of Hannah Peel but remixed bysomeone from the Radio Funny Workshop so it all tracks and then before that we had Mechanicaland I totally agree it's interesting listening to things from a past because kind of eitherforget what you were thinking about or you sort of remember dimly but that's stilleven more so with AI that still tracks that idea of you're programmed you're a computerlike Progam Me by Bruce Haack that we're programmed by society to do things like computersbut it seems like AI is making that even more obvious as Mechanical by Verb T & Pitch 92from 2017's Good Evening and then before that we had Playback otherwise known as Player Oneyou probably know them better as Player One if you know them at all they released an albumof their hit Space Invader and a lot of people probably know Space Invader because it was ait was quite a big hit around the Space Invader boom they did that's not about Space Invadersthey also didn't can basically a concept album about that Tronix Microchips called Space Invadersbut it's different to their big hit their big hit was sort of like a novelty pop hit and that'sMicro Processor and as they said in an interview a lot off all the 13 or 14 year olds it was likeyou've lost them but they're known as Playback there and I really recommend checking out thealbum because it is a really odd album because a lot of those early computer game cash-inthings there's quite a few of them they certainly don't get critical about it and critical of thattechnology that's coming in like that song you know as the valley's becoming it's lookingit seems to be about the early chip boom and early computers and interestingly even if youhaven't heard Space Invader you have heard the things that's influenced because the baselinewas sampled for Jesse Saunders On And On it's the first Chicago house record it's not the firsthouse record the first house record as we know is by Imagination and it's a song called Burnin' UpFrankie Knuckles is a source of that information and if Frankie says it it's true then it's true itis true that piano house thing if you listen to it you just speed up slightly and apparently theyused to play at parties and and then they were like oh we could do this that's where the house musiccame from it's from my favorite chartered pans Imagination so brilliant and then before thestart of the section we had Ron Geesin again with Mini Molecules from 1975 take notes childrenKPM 114 eLectric Sound Vol 2 so we're gonna play a track that gave this podcast its nameSheila - Tender Silence Of The Night I dropped the of don't know why I did that and this well i'llspeak about it in a bitThat was Hannah Peel I mentioned before on her Delia part one I played part two on thepodcast over a year and a half ago a long time ago before that we had Ahmed Fakroun with Nizyanfrom a 2010 compilation and you probably know Ahmed Fakroun more for a track called Yo Sonwhich seems to pop up every once in a while occasionally a play on radio or something thenbefore that we had The Horrors that's a track that has been in the stack for a very long timeas I Can See Through You Blanck Mass Remix from higher from 2012 yeah I think that predates thehiatus I really put it back in there because I actually deleted when I had the three year hiatusi deleted the old podcast directory which is a very silly thing to do because I was like oh wellyou know I won't need these anymore and I don't have copies of these so I rebuilt it from 2018but that one went back in because I just love that and it's something very almost 28 days latersort of very dark wave very maybe synth wave but pre that about that you know and that'swhat that was Black Mass at the height of their powers then before that we had the Monkees withTapioca Tundra that's Mike Nesmith writing and singing and that's from a release a re-releasealways some compilation called bIrds And The Bees And The Monkees but yeah that's from 67 I think67 or 68 but I love that sort of stream of consciousness and very much you know acidcountry feel to that then before that we had Beverly Glenn-Copeland played a song or referred toBeverly Glenn-Copeland in a recent podcast because of the sampling of La Vita by Romy from the xxbut that is Beverley Glenn-Copeland themselves Color Of Anyhow from their first album from 1970which is also you know eponymously named and then oh we have a song that means so much to meand never seem to fit anywhere else it's Mort Garson from the soundtrack of didn't you hear that'sDidn't You Hear I can't remember who actually does the vocals on that don't seem to have worked withMort Garson again or just for that film and didn't you hear is a very strange I don't have to describethat film if you can imagine a more psychedelic version of Mazes And Monsters it's kind of likethat I mean it's not about Dungeons and Dragons but it's about someone who is at a university andfantasy life their dream life starts coming through into the real world but involvingso a bit like Wizard Of Oz it's like the people up here and this person's life on campus startappearing in their fantasies but you don't really sure if they are really fantasies it's a strangestrange film I only watch bits of it it was Gary Busey's first film I knew there was somebody whowent on to do other things but it was kind of a student project but it was a properly releasedfilm the soundtrack was unreleased for a long time well worth checking out the soundtrack of Didn'tYou Hear then before that we had Arab Strap Another Clockwork Day which was kind of new then or newish then it was in 2021 and that's from As Days Get Dark and I love that how it's it seems quiteseedy and quite literally mentioning spermatozoa but I love that you're wearing nothing but yourpostcode but then at the end you sort of have this it's actually quite a wholesome thing althoughvery sad and also quite a lot of onwy and melancholy in there as it would be with anything by AidenMoffat and it it's very true a lot of people live I know I do you know that sort of clockwork wayyou know you do things by row and it's it feels like a grind a lot of the time then before thatwe had Suzzie And Maggie Roche with A Day In The Life Of A Tree 2004's Why The Long Face which is oneof my favorite titles of an album any if you're going to have a title of an album make it onehalf of a pun it's is brilliant but yes if I ever do a the long threatened exhibition of mytree paintings that will be on the soundtrack you know it's something i've listened to whilepainting trees and so it's like it's a full circle then before that i'm out trees but notreally about trees that's Strawberry Switchblade Trees And Flowers well it says four piece demofrom 1982 I thought it was a pill session but could be the demo version and one of the members ofstrawberry switchblade had agoraphobia i'm not sure if they stayed with them being in a touringbig band is a bit of a problem as you're agoraphobic but that's about you know yeah you shouldgo out and feel the trees and flowers but you're too scared and then before that we had a coverfor ages I thought this was the original version Kaleidoscope Band with I Get Lifted but that'sa cover and that's another one from the Cosmic Dudes folder I mentioned earlier that yeah it'sa beautiful disco song but it's only a very psychedelic about that version whereas theoriginal version is more straightforward disco then before that we had had Hatgeni Tani by Al Massrieenand I know nothing about that apart from it's where it says it's from 2017 it's obviouslyolder obviously older must be a compilation and in the start of section we had Sheila otherwiseknown as Sheila and Black Devotion Sheila B Devotion B Devotion is actually a group Black Devotionbut in France you just known eponymously as Sheila because she was quite famous in Franceand that's Tender Silence Of The Night it's from 1979 I think yeah 79 it tops out her albumDisco D'or which probably wasn't the english english version but yes and you know anything that'ssort of like cosmic ballads cosmic feel like some of the Sylvester stuff i'm always thereand it just shows you that Sheila did more than Spacer which is actually quite late in her careerafter b devotion had left to become another band so you know everyone remembers Spacer but she hadhits before that some really good you know ones like hotel a plage which you might hear becausei was obviously on a Sheila kick at this time because both deep dives have Sheila tracks in soyes it whenever whenever you get to hear number three in this series hopefully not another yearand a half and let me know if you want to hear more of these because I would say it's easy becausei have to dive through some really old stuff but it is interestingly random but also you canhear see threads of what i've been playing over the last five years the arabica electonicais a thread that runs through back to my trip to egypt so that's what that was that 2011if you're doing The Revolution yeah so you know it's been a part of the podcast for a long timeso there's always things which are part of the fabric of the podcast and it's nice to kind ofyou know have them and and as I said these tracks are very much ones which areare square edges straight and they're not round they're spiky just like my profile spiky andhard to fit in anywhere like they're too long or they're too weird or people don't know themwhatever but it's nice to give them a home finally and you know it doesn't mean they're not good infact they're good in their own way and I always feel bad when these tracks get taken out as some ofthese have and many times been put into podcast and taken out they don't fit the mix they don't fitwhatever I wanted to do and I feel sad for that because they they deserve they deserve betterthey deserve far better so i've reached the end of this podcast finally and we're gonna play outwith a track which is I think I wasn't that new it was 2020 but this is Ego Ella May I think I justheard it about that sort of time probably from Don Letts sounds like a very Don Letts trackthis is How Long Till We're Home from the Honey For Wounds album I think I think it's from the albumso I hope you're all well and yeah the controller has gone very well I only made one mistakewhich you won't hear but yeah the lights for the beds aren't always lit up so unlike the otherone I did some kind of weird so I made the mistake of mixing in when the beds were on it was likestill running I was like I need a big flashing light says beds are on but i'm losing my voicewhen I did a now and a half interview and then this podcast which is a bit silly so i'll speak to yousoonanything else is your own problem right
