Helen wheels...

Playlist
Cloudland Blue Quartet – Songs and Soundscapes 1996-2009
DJ Hell – Teufelswerk
Rex the Dog – The Rex the Dog Show

Spent much of this absolute scorcher of a day ensconced in the PC room compiling a new CBQ collection encompassing all 17 albums of original music (i.e. discounting the many singles and compilations) released under that name since adopting it in the summer of 1996...

More info here - www.crispycat.co.uk...

In the post came a CD bought from e-bay just two days ago, the “The Rex the Dog Show” from German DJ and mixer, erm Rex the Dog...

Tasty digger-dagger music...

I then looked into an LP which has intrigued me during my visits to FOPP and I ended up downloading this...

It is now my fave album of the year so far after listening to it this evening – it even includes a guest appearance fr4om Bryan ferry on the opening track – it too is full of excellent digger-dagger music (and muchas Kraftwerk nods)...

We lunched in the garden...

I continued to compile while Anne kept abreast of the Scottish and English Cup finals...

Wins for Rangers and Chelsea respectively, against our chosen teams, Falkirk and Everton respectively...

Late on watched some TV no doubt but it’s a couple of days ago now and I can’t remember what and can’t be bothered digging back through the schedules...

No doubt I was entertained...

Highlight of the Day : Discovering DJ Hell...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
