...also a few strange tracks from Imajinary Friends "come out to play".

14 may 2006

Additionally I added tracks from Bel Canto "shimmering, warm, & bright" CD.

13 may 2006

I also added a few tracks from the Ultravox compilation "The Collection."

28 january 2006

I also added some tracks from the sampledelic CD from Bruce Haack and Esther Nelson "The Best of Dimension 5" on Emperor Norton from 1999.

16 january 2006

Additionally I added in a few tracks from the old 4AD compilation called "Lonely Is An Eyesore"

...and from 1982 I located a CD from Die Haut and Nick Cave "Burnin' The Ice".  I added a couple of punky tracks.

...and how about some gothic strumming from a compilation called "Secret Lords - A Heidenvolk Collaboration".  It's actually pretty interesting.

Here's another blast from the past with Psychic TV "Godstar - The Singles Pt.2" on the Cleopatra label from 1995.

A bit lighter is Virginia Astley "Hope In A Darkened Heart" with production from Ryuichi Sakamoto, formerly of YMO.

2005

26 december 2005

...also a couple of tracks from Pest's self-titled CD from 1997.

...and a couple of tracks from Everything But The Girl's "Eden" CD from 1985.

15 december 2005
One of my favorite post-rock almost folky and almost ambient CDs is Sam Prekop's first and self-titled solo.

Christmas is pretty mutant for me this year so a compilation called "A Mutated Christmas" is pretty appropriate for Channel Z.

I refreshed the station's music from the Residents with some stuff from Roosevelt 2.0.  The CD comes in a standard CD case inside a wooden box in the edition I got.

11 december 2005
I finally got around to adding some tracks from a very rare Xmas compilation from my favorite classic label Les Disques Due Crepuscule called "Ghosts of Christmas Past."

I added a few selections from  Heavenly Bodies' CD "Celestial" on the C'est La Mort label from 1988.  This stuff predated a lot of current Gothic music.

I added a couple of selections from The Spirit of Eden's "The Sun The Moon and The Stars" which is fairly new-agey and poppy, but pretty nevertheless.  It's actually Celtic music.

10 december 2005
I added some selections from Black Tape for a Blue Girl's "remnants of a deeper purity" CD to the Z-stream today.  I'm in a gothic mood I guess.

I also added some literally acid freaky cuts from Keith LeBlanc's "Freakatorium" CD.

I've lately become attached to the pristine synth-pop on this nice compilation called "Star Gazing."

Madchester pop-rock is still groovey 10 years on on The Farm's "Spartacus."

4 december 2005
I added material from Sandoz's seminal CD "Digital Lifeforms."

...and a couple of tracks from Faultline's CD "Closer Colder" also.

A couple of cuts from the Silent Poet's CD "Almost Nothing" were added to the playlist.

...and a couple of selections from the Pet Shop Boys' CD "Introspective" were added.

I added some tracks from a new CD by daiquiro entitled "queen of maybe."

Some interesting more Gothic tracks were added from Peter Ulrich's "Enter The Mysterium" on City Canyon Records.

Getting back to the roots of the station, I added tracks from The French Impressionists' "A Collection of Songs" CD.

And some instrumental tracks from Mark Van Hoen's "The Warmth Inside You" will please the ears.

I also added some tracks from the excellent CD by Ben Watts and Robert Wyatt "north marine drive" from 1987 on Cherry Red Records.

A couple of songs from Skylab's "?" EP were added and some tracks from Delirio Caldo's "Higher Than God" were thrown in for good measure.

I also added some new "artwork" to the zzzart section HERE.

I added some great new music from Paul Weller "Studio 150".

Also a few tracks from The Mission UK "Gods Own Medicine" were thrown in for good measure.

Delphine Seyrig & Steven Brown - De Doute Et De Grace
[a French soundtrack with one of the guys from Tuxedomoon]

Peter Principle - Ain't Superstitious
[a strange voice with unusual music on Made To Measure...this may account for shugazr's hallucinosis]

Negativland - Dispepsi
[the cut-up boys make fun of advertising soft drinks and get into trouble for it...as usual]

Belle And Sebastian - Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant
[sadder and more serious B&S]

XTC - Skylarking
[a seminal album from this punk/pop group]

Depeche Mode - The Singles 81-85
[...when DM mattered A LOT!]

Yello - Claro Que Si
[classic electronic pop mayhem from the weirdest European trio of all time...]

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
[Peter Gabriel leads Genesis with intricate costumes and vocals]

The CD is described as "Ambient/Jazz/Latin soundtracks created for choreographer Régine Chopinot, for a Spanish theatre group, and for a magnificent video by Ramuntcho's father, illustrious Chilean painter Roberto Matta. Featuring musicians from various origins (Brazil, Cuba, Uruguay, India, Algeria), among which Elli Medeiros, saxophonist Cacau (ex-member of Hermeto Pascoal's group), and trumpet player Guillermo Fellove (who played in the legendary Perez Prado band)."

I also added a few selections from a compilation called Dada and Futurism Reviewed.  The CD is described as a "Archive aural document collection edited by James Nice and originally released via Sub Rosa in 1989. This unique CD compiles over an hour of original sound recordings made between 1912 and 1959 by luminaries from both 20th Century art movements, including: Marinetti, Antonio Russolo, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp, Wyndham Lewis, Guillaume Apollinaire, Kurt Schwitters, Tristan Tzara, Marcel Janco and Richard Huelsenbeck. Includes musical and interview material, tone poems, and sleevenotes. Artwork by Joël Van Audenhaege.
"The most enthralling LTM project to date, should lie in every record collection bar none" (Melody Maker, 12/1988); "Blows the pants off most of the crap which passes for pop these days" (Marie Claire, 1988); "Wonderful... You could imagine Tim Burton using it for a camp re-creation of a silent frightener" (The Guardian, 11/2000); "This is exceptional - from Wyndham Lewis’ poshtones to some skippy jazz-hot from Jean Cocteau, this is unremittingly fresh and joyous." (The Wire, 10/2000). See also Surrealism Reviewed (LTMCD 2343).
