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.
Total running time: 2 hours and 36 minutes. Downloaded file is 142.3 MB.
