Transmusic Airwaves Episode 408 - February 26, 2021 with Paul Ciminero (host)

Transmusic Airwaves

On this edition of TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #408) I'll celebrate the eighth anniversary of this program under it's current name as I continue to bring the listener my vision of freeform radio. That concept has always involved various musical genres, spoken word, and comedy seamlessly blended and intergrated into six sets over the course of three hours.
Things get started today with WILCO (from 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot'), moving next to GAVIN FRIDAY'S take on another Marc Bolan gem from the 'Angel Headed Hipster' album, following those with a KING CRIMSON request before setting off with additional tracks from AUDITORY SCULPTURE, THE GOASTT, BRIAN SANDS, WHITE NOISE, and a cut from the new ENNIO MORRICONE release.
I've placed plenty of 'vault' melodies from the likes of VANGELIS, PHIL MANZANERA'S 801, LOTHAR & THE HAND PEOPLE, and the MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA into various sets surrounded by new material from BAMBA WASSOULOU GROOVE, MONK'ESTRA, WIRE, and ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER, film soundtrack pieces from THOMAS NEWMAN (WALL-E) and ALEXANDRE DESPLAT (The Shape of Water), and tracks from local legends 15-60-75 and TIN HUEY.
There's even a series of songs from DAVID BOWIE, RY COODER, TOM WAITS, BASTIEN KEB, and LEO KOTTKE & MIKE GORDON tied together thematically during today's fourth set. All in all it's another show worthy of your attention so keep listening and I'll do my part to keep you surprised and entertained.
