Night Beat

with John Casey

Hey all, i wanted to play a fairly mixed bag of tunes this week. I started
the show with a song a by late bluesman Rainer Ptacek, i know very little about the guy but i love this track, very primitive angry sound to it.I don't play the Jam very much mainly because i always saw them as a singles band and not much else but i recently came across Sound_Affects and couldn't
believe how good it was, shades of post-punk, Michael Jackson and Dub all married
together really well by a 21 year old Paul Weller. Some nice electronica to round off the first half then a bit more down tempo in the second half, anyone who has listened to any Talk Talk albums (specifically 'Laughing Stock') will know how incredible Mark Hollis' songwriting is so i chose one from his band and one form his little known self titled debut lp from 1998.

Full tracklist...


1. Rainer Ptacek- The Good book
2. The Jam- Music for the last couple
3. The Jam- Pretty green
4. Gang of four- I found that essence rare
5. Aphex Twin- Fingerbib
6. Mikael Stavostrand- Onside
7. Oval- Do While
8. Talk Talk- After the flood
9. Mark Hollis- The daily planet
10.Arvo Part- Fratres for violin, strings and percussion
