Spaceships On The Radio 39 feat BertBachBlues: Transmissions from the Black Pyramid

Well chuffed when my good friend and fellow blogger, Brother James, asked me to contribute 40 minutes to his Spaceships On The Radio podcast. http://www.thereisspaceshipsoverdeeside.blogspot.co.uk/ .

After some careful consideration and some last minute choices, I started off with some classic Jimi, followed by some fresh Krautrock, then stepped it up a notch with some heavy psych. Hopefully went down well in Brother James' camp and his half of the mix is some blistering 70's prog to kick things off.

Treats from the Pops - Part 1

My Dad has a serious collection of vinyl from his youth. Whilst flicking through his attic collection, slowly adding up his value of his hidden gems, I was taken back by this front cover....(funny really because he often bought album's purely on the front cover alone!)

This has some quality rock blues tracks on it. My personal favorite is this beast....

My Dad has seen these live as well, although he did mention that he was slightly too drunk to remember much of the gig! oh and 50p for the vinyl from Liverpool in 1970. Unbelievable.

Enjoy, bertbach

The Oscillation - Veils

Found this band whilst trawling through the Record Store Day releases recently. To be honest their latest album is one of best I have heard in a long time - too many belters to say the least but here is one that I have listened to the most.

Oh and the vinyl is of course being delivered to my door as I write...... getting a blast at the next drone night at the den me thinks.

Psychedelic Drone At The Den

Second installment of my bertbachblues coincides with the second installment of music themed night at the Den (Sat 14th Jan 2012). Drone Night produced many a tune and continued my steady dive into the realms of new music. My contribution to the night included the below mix, courtesy of some Youtube digging, Drone Magazine blogging and the below nice article of a new band that has blown me away recently:

The Cosmic Dead

Its my first time at the mixing and posting mediafile lark so probably a bit rough around the edges, but hopefully all goes well if anyone does download......... a mix of chill drone, prog, psych, some more drone, shoegaze and a bloody right belter of a finale. Probably see more of The Cosmic Dead in future posts no doubt!

Track Listing - Psychedelic Drone At The Den

1. Moon Duo - Horror Tour

2. Cave - WUJ

3. Beaches - Eternal Sphere

4. Cult of Dom Keller - Saguaro

5. The Laurels - Soul Arising

6. The Cosmic Dead - Infinite Death of the Godhead

Enjoyment was shortlived...
