This is the 379th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note that the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). Happy New Year! I hope that you had a good, or at least a bearable festive season, and that you enjoyed the recent festive edition of this show. But it’s now time to welcome in the new year with a typically eclectic playlist, including a little bit of 2024 music. We also have a feature album, and for that we return to our new Prog Magazine feature, because the latest issue has an article on the wonderful Mitsune, so our feature album will be their second, ‘Hazama’, from 2022, and you’ll hear three tracks from that throughout the playlist. Otherwise you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music, including tracks from 2023, some older tracks of various vintages, and a reflection on Chrimbo Limbo 2, our live music event that happened on the 28th of December in Cheltenham. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.
