Boy Fintan that "walking in the sun" piece is awsome, I am going to get it.
Thanks for that.


Those babes rock!

Awesome is the word Zak!

Folks if you been hearing this only in 32k mono or 56k stereo
on the Next Level show... then please be advised that this
high bitrate version may cause permanent alteration of
your brainwave patterns. Can only be played on high quality
stereo headphones or at loud volume if your neighbors are
away for the Weekend.
(speaking of which, support the artists, buy their stuff.)
Ssssh, but right-click this link

I love old Supremes stuff. Especially "Someday, We'll be Together."
The string intro is absolutely moving.
Generally, I find Motown music brilliant. Also, 5th Dimension's "Age of Aquarius" stirs the soul.
Phil Spector's XMas album has the best orchestration for pop-mix holiday music; truly gleeful, that string & xylophone combo.... something that artists like Springsteen have used many times (has that merry-go-round feeling, childlike spirit).
Notable:
Friend & Lover's "Reach Out of the Darkness"
B-52's "Roam" and "Revolution Earth"
I listen to a wide range of music, but these above put a smile on my face and can change my mood from 1/2 empty to overflowing.

Here's an interesting track for you all - it's a Fijian band called Tavenui Magic - three big burly Figian men


it was recorded on a portable Editrol digital recorder in stereo. My friend set them up outdoors in the shade and sat in front of them holding the recorder.

It's an amazing live recording. I added a touch of reverb.

In response to a listener I'm uploading this:

Glad to, it's a great one.

I think that 'Sensoria' (12" version) by Cabaret Voltaire would make a really good track to play during an audio show.

Edit: Oh - and 'Little Fluffy Clouds' by The Orb, to go out to all the chemtrailers out there.

'Don't Believe The Hype', by Public Enemy. You simply have to play this, even just once, pleeease?

And 'Red 2' by Dave Clarke. Awesome cyber-punk techno -- hasn't dated a day.

[Sorry, no link but I have the 12" in a mate's attick somewhere on the other side of the World].

Oh, and don't forget the Scratch Perverts...

And last, but not least 'The Fastest Milkman in the West' by Benny Hill (Rotterdam gabba on yabba mix).

200 BPM headwrecker .

And if you can get hold of '1000' by Moby (extremely rare) you are in for a treat. It begins at 20 BPM and rises to 1000 BPM over ten minutes. The only lyric is "oh yeah!" repeated with increasing intensity until your ears bleed.

It's similar to this:

Play very loud on a pre-power Naim / Linn Isobaric system .

Ah, those were the days, sigh.

Weird. I hadn't expected the B4N members to be so techno.

Here goes a few of my faves.

Polefolder, great DJ
Sasha, another one
James Holden, must be heard to be believed
Federico Epis occasionally makes some great mix sets.

If you want great music, try Pandora.com and type in an artist. The site will generate other music similar to your pick.

Here's a page i made to share with some of my fava flavs...
mostly on the blues, jazz and soul side, some of it pure, some of it blended
with acid, rock, hip-hop or funk. There's some superb singing, playing and
arrangements. Some of it raw and gritty, some of it sublime.
