Fall eletronica.

I don’t usually associate electronic music with this season of the year, but Junior Boys deliver with this sparse, chilling tune, “Playtime.”

Episode #16: The Hit

In this episode, I feature a side from an EP that I won on eBay a few months ago.  I did some research and learned it was bundled with the first (and, as far as I can tell, only) issue of a British alternative rock magazine, The Hit, in 1985.  This particular side features a live recording by The Style Council of its soon-to-be-released hit, “Walls Come Tumbling Down,” and a just-record track that would later be issued on the first Jesus and Mary Chain album, Psychocandy.

1. King Crimson – Sleepless (Three of a Perfect Pair – 1984)
2. Colder – Tonight (Heat – 2005)
3. The Style Council – Walls Come Tumbling Down (live) (The Hit 45 – 1985)
4. The Jesus and Mary Chain – Taste of Cindy (The Hit 45– 1985)
5. King Tubby – Dub to the Rescue (Dub Gone Crazy: The Evolution of Dub at King Tubby’s 1975-1977 – 1995)
6. Junior Boys – In the Morning (So This is Goodbye – 2006)
