Episode 36: Nightmare

This is the thirty-sixth edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the blog entry to accompany it. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN. This particular show is a somewhat belated Halloween special, with well over an hour of spooky, creepy and supernaturally-themed music, hosted by Count Eppy Gibbon. The feature album this time is very apt as it’s the chilling and atmospheric ‘The Fate Of Old Mother Orvis’ from The Future Kings of England, plus there’s the usual diverse selection of tracks and artists, but be warned that this edition of the show is not for the fainthearted. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

Please, don’t have nightmares! Send me comments if you like what you hear (or even if you don’t… feedback is so important!) and don’t forget to vote for your favourite three acts/artists as played on the show over the past 36 episodes. I won’t be here for the next episode, but two very special guests will be sitting in and will be bringing you the same sort of musical styles and quality as always, but there will probably be quite a few new names to the show as well. Please do listen in…
