Diversion: show 39 - Exotica Special! - 28/02/2008 



"My music has always been like fiction, no authenticity; I didn't want to make African music--I only wanted to suggest how African music might sound." - Martin Denny, pioneer of Exotica music

This was a fun show. I love Exotica music. The mythology it has built for itself is as phony as a 99p novelty voodoo kit, but that doesn't cheapen the stunning quality of the music. In what other musical genre do you get the pleasure of listening to a five-octave diva singing about sacrificial rituals, or a bunch of ludicrously talented musicians whooping like birds of paradise while effortlessly playing the vibes like a man with three pairs of hands? More than 50 years after its conception, Exotica music is still incredibly inventive and evocative - which is exactly what these artists were aiming for.

So, get out your tiki mug, mix yourself a drink, and let the armchair stereo safari begin!

Note: the artist biogs for this show are brought to you mostly by the wonderful Space Age Pop Music site. This is a great site to get yourself acquainted with the artists behind some of the best music of the 50's and 60's.

And if you haven't noticed already, I use a lot of music from the Ultra-Lounge compilation albums, a fine source of fabulous music!

Diversion: show 34 - TV Cop / Funky Crimefighter - 06/12/2007 


The show started well with me playing a song twice, then starting a record at the wrong speed - go me! I hope you enjoyed the TV Cop / Funky Crimefighter special nonetheless.

Diversion: show 21 - Jet Set Radio Broadcast - 21/05/2007 


It's about time Sega restarted the Jet Set Radio franchise, especially with the possibilities that the Wiimote controls and online aspects offer. Wishful thinking I know, but if they're remaking Nights of all games, then surely JSR can't be too far behind. In the meantime, enjoy some of the best tunes from both games.

For the game each song is from, the code is this:

JSR - Jet Set Radio
JSRF - Jet Set Radio Future

(Obligatory Listen Again rant: two songs cut off, one cut short. Booo).



(01. Miller Ball Breakers - Deavid Soul - JSR)

02. Fly Like A Butterfly - Hideki Naganuma - JSRF

05. On the Bowl - Deavid Soul - JSR

06. Funky Dealer - Hideki Naganuma - JSRF

07. Humming the Bassline - Hideki Naganuma - JSR

08. Sneakman - Hideki Naganuma - JSR

****Last week's sample was from the original Tomb Raider, when you're training in Lara's mansion. This week's is eeeeeeasy...****

09. ??????????? - ????????? (competition music)

10. Super Brothers - Guitar Vader - JSR

11. Koto Stomp - The Latch Brothers - JSRF

12. The Concept of Love - Hideki Naganuma - JSRF

13. Bokfresh - Richard Jacques - JSRF

Another Orchestral special, this time with more of a focus on in-game music and anime background music.
