Distant Call

Broadcast were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1995 by Trish Keenan (vocals, keyboards, guitar) and James Cargill (bass). Their musical style blended elements of 1960s American psychedelia with experimental electronica, incorporating samples from various sources, and earned the band a cult following. Collection includes: Work And Non Work (1997); The Noise Made By People (2000); Haha Sound (2003); Tender Buttons (2005); The Future Crayon (2006); Investigate Witch Cults Of The Radio Age (2009).

Thanks must go to nadeesh for posting this beautiful album of traditional Japanese flute music. There were problems for many people when they tried to access his Megaupload files; so I have reposted the album with Rapidshare links.

Anyone not hip to the diverse genre sounds coming out of Higher Octave these days can find the perfect sampler in 3rd Force's vibe-intensive Force Field. While the electronic keyboard trio of William Aura, Craig Dobbin, and Alain Eskinasi provides thick, acid jazzy grooves that range from dreamy and laid back ("7th Heaven") to shuffling hip-hop, trip-hop, and aggressive blues, some of the label's biggest names have a ball strutting their own stuff as the lead melodies and harmonies.

Gandalf plays electric guitars, classical nylon guitar, acoustic 12-string guitar, sitar, saz, charango, balaphon, grand piano, mellotron, electronic keyboards and atmospheres. All tracks composed, arranged, performed & produced by Gandalf.
