Episode 338: A Few Words for the Dead

This is the 338th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note 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). Following the last show, which previewed EppyFest 9, this show is balanced between reflecting on some hugely important musicians and composers who we have sadly lost in recent weeks, and focusing on some great new music. There’s no feature album this time but instead we’ll have a feature artist, Vangelis, the great musician, composer and songwriter who sadly passed away on the 17th May this year. You’ll hear four tracks either from or related to the music of Vangelis scattered throughout the show, and we’ll cover the usual diverse selection of styles and genres across the playlist. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

Episode 330: Best of 2021, The Top 10

This is the 330th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note 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). With this show I conclude my slightly delayed countdown of my favourite albums of 2021. Last year was certainly another difficult one in many ways, but one upside is that there were many great albums released in 2021, so it was difficult to settle on a top 30, so in the end I didn’t bother, and instead I went for a top 32. For this show it’s part 3 (of 3) of my 32 favourite albums of 2021, the big top 10. You can expect a great mixture of music in this show, and a typically eclectic playlist, with two tracks each from the amazing albums I’ve placed between 10 and 1 in the countdown. We’ll also kick things off with a tribute to the late, great Ian McDonald, who sadly passed away just as I was putting this show together. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks).

This time I’ll largely be mopping up some tracks from 2021 releases ahead of my upcoming countdown of my favourite albums of last year, so you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music. We have a feature artist this time around, as I reflect on the sad passing of singer-songwriter and musician David Longdon, who sadly left us back on 20th November last year, and you’ll hear three tracks featuring him across the course of the show by way of tribute. You can also expect the usual eclectic musical mix, including some music from 2021, some older tracks of various vintages thrown in for good measure, and a tribute to two people we have lost recently, the late, great Michael Nesmith & Stephen Sondheim. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

Lovecraft, released back in September 1968, and you’ll hear three tracks from that album throughout the playlist. Other than that, you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music, only with a bit more of a Rebsie spin to it, plus there’s a track played in tribute to the late, great David Longdon, sadly taken away from us just recently and far too soon.

Episode 322: Death’s Door

This is the 322nd 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). It’s that time of the year again, so for this show we have the return of the diabolical Count Eppy Gibbon, who will again be your ghoulish host for this year’s Halloween special. We have a feature album on this show, ‘Arcana’, the 2020 solo album by one of the Count’s favourite artists, Richard Wileman, and you’ll hear three tracks from that album throughout the playlist. Other than that, you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music, only with a bit more of a spooky theme this time around. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.
