Storybook Wonderland (#110)

Source here. Originally recoded on May 28rd, 1998.

Another one of my favorite shows, where we collected a bunch of story book records / tapes / CDs (a majority of records, little 45 rpm 7" discs that children would pop into their close-n-play). The thick layers of comforting, encouraging voices telling simple, wholesome stories sends one into a particular kind of madness where your entire childhood can be lived over in the span of 90 minutes and everyone learns a valuable lesson at the end: never do this again.

13. Soon, she was lost again
    

Mysterious Beeping and Static (#105)

One of the more minimalist versions of the show, this one features an almost ethereal avoidance of anything resembling music. The 10 second delay is looped into the main feed, giving a deep deep deep layered background of the previous few minutes.

6. Whispers in the plenum
7. Ping pong ping pong ping pong
8. Telegrammatic Feedback
9. Very low background radiation
10. Radar dish singing bowl
11. A chorus of chaos
12. A little light grinding
13. Finally, a stringed instrument
