Carl’s living room series plays with ambient and prog sounds, mixing in some library, rock, African-tinged funk, disco not disco, and avant-garde. I think the pieces slip into sync where it seems they shouldn’t, and I think this show has a flow that works really well.

Fourth and final week of the reggae series on Gulls Window Circus breathes deep and expands into a sunny spot. A highlight is Freddie McGregor ‘Children Listen To Wise Words’ which uses the melody of Cat Stevens ‘Wild World.’ The Charmaine Burnett cover of Barbara Acklin’s ‘Am I the Same Girl’ is pretty great, as is Jerry Jones ‘Trying Times’ and Family Choice ‘Reggae Beats Goes On’. The two dubs from Studio One Dub that close out the first hour are nice. One is a dub of Delroy Wilson ‘Run Run’ which we hear right before it. Speaking of dubs, Creation Rebel ‘Vision Of Creation’ and Charisma ‘Every Dub’ are deep – all tracks rightfully earn their place and should bring you joy.

The third week of ‘reggae’ brings us deep once again. I loved discovering Dambala ‘Lorraine (Lexx Dub)’ one of the six 7″ singles we hear today from the one off collaboration between the Emotional Rescue label and the Japanese store HMV. Directly following the Dambala track is the totally classic Peter Tosh/Mick Jagger collaboration ‘(You Got To Walk And) Don’t Look Back’ – wow. Be sure to hear Myrna Hague ‘What About Me’, The Silvertones ‘Burning In My Soul’, Albert Griffiths And The Gladiators ‘Righteous Man’ and Hortense Ellis ‘Sitting In The Park’.

The second week of the Reggae series brings a lot of yummy disco reggae and memorable songs, spun on vinyl on a real turntable in real time. My personal fave is Bunny Clarke’s cover of ‘Be Thankful’ (William DeVaughn’s 1972 amazing out-of-nowhere hit). Also love the dub of the 73 Spinners track ‘I’ll Be Around’ by Sound Dimension. Two Boney M alumni appear here (by coincidence!): Sylvia Tella and Toyin Adekale, each with great tracks. If I squint, I could hear Debsey Wykes of Dolly Mixture singing the Toyin track ‘Smile’. During the first hour there are 4 punk bands doing reggae, then we hear the artist that originally recorded Armagideon Time, Willie Williams.
