A bit of delay for #80 what with the summer break and various nuptial happenings. Fear not though, here’s two hours of gospel funk, hiphop source material, Northern heartbreakers, psychedelic imaginings from the north of England, Balearic flights of fancy, and a song by DJ Koze that sounds like it has Margaret Thatcher talking about Ecstasy. I’ll leave my descriptions there, and leave y’all to fathom your way through this latest offering. As ever it’s a mix of old and new, vinyl and digital. More soon!

For your prolonged listening pleasure:

• Wilco – Star Wars. It was free! For a bit! Now out on all formats, Wilco dropped this out of nowhere last month and it’s got everything that Wilco fans want.
• Glenn Astro – Throwback. Not on this show either, you’ll have to wait until next time out. This one is all over the space jazz place, soulful electronics with a lot of bottom end that demands a good stereo. Go get.
•  

  Four Tet – Morning/Evening. One amazing thing about an eMusic monthly subscription is that every song costs only 49 cents. This means that the rather mighty album from Four Tet, which consists of only two songs, can be yours for €0.98! Which is great value as this one’s a monster. Two slow builders of around 20 mins each, eastern influences, and the Four Tet sound all the way through. Ace.
