Ambient Zone on Galway's Flirt FM

phobos

I tuned in this evening @ 17:10, for what was an hour of bliss. An Aphex Twin special hosted by none other than Cloud himself.

John, is it possible to get that Aphex Twin - "Selected Ambient Works" album anymore. That was some of the best music I've heard in a while, and I've found myself humming some of it since earlier on.

Also you say the tracks on the disks are identified simply by track number, as apposed to having a name. But the very last track that you played (with the American guy talking over it) appears to be called "Rhubarb". This I've just found out from http://www.sleepbot.com/ambience/page/afx.html

Also that very first track that you played, or were playing @ 17:10 was a classic. I didn't quite catch the name of it. I think it was your first track of the show.

At 5:10 I would have been playing Tha, from that album.

Yep, Rhubarb (the track with the Hearts of Space guy talking) would be a picture corresponding to that track I played; each track has a Trivial Pursuit-like symbol and picture on the inlay which is used sometimes to name the track...

BTW the show has moved to Thursdays at 10 PM.

I tried getting a few tunes off the Aphextwin albums, but they only had track numbers on the coveres, tried downloading the album off AG ages ago, but it was always copyrighted..

You could ring me, and I'll have it on in the background for you. It's a premium service I'm providing, so have your CC ready

//phobos just remembers: "I thought John moved to Dangan?"

I asked John about internet streaming and the answer is no, pity.

Surely a student (*ahem*) could have a stream on his/her webpage without it ebing in contravention of HEAnet policy?
Or why not on the radiosoc site itself?
It's a student radio station, for the education of students etc
