Chasing the Tangent - Episode #26 - Before we Dissolve
I am playing catch up this week since the silly season has left me with a lot of back catalogue to get through, clearing the way for 2010. We feature new tracks from James Pants and beat maestro Paul White, both of who have new albums out as well as newbies from Aardvarck, Devonwho, Silver Apples and a fine remix of Fourtet's "Love Cry" by Joy Orbison. We also go back and revisit some old lovelies by Mulatu Astatqé, Horace Andy and Aphex Twin. So happy listening and here's to a peaceful and harmonious new decade.
