Have you heard of British composer and electronic music pioneer Albert Alan Owen before? He's somewhat of an unsung heros it seems. Maybe he wasn't prolific enough to garner much attention but his back catalogue deserves attention.

This is him in modern impressionist mode

but he also made stuff like

Third, vaguely connected question - are there any good overviews of the Turkish 60s/70s/80s psych period* (but not necessarily limited to that, incl. disco etc) that you know of?

Indeed i do. Daniel Spicer's book is the best treatment of the subject in English. though be warned he's listening with avant-jazz ears - no problem for me but might be for others...

I hadn't heard this in years and it suddenly popped into my head earlier. My Dad had a couple of the Womble albums and I used to run around listening to them as a little kid. There's a tune on one of them about a giant made out of rubbish and pollution which I used to get scared of and hide behind the sofa.
I loved these as a little un https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/feb/19/borribles-childrens-books-reissued-1980s-riots - basically wombles re-imagined as giant mutant rats with pointed clubs battling the wild children of london in the sewers ... still remember when they drown the womble boss and his last cry "like a fart in a bathtub"

80's gay angst is very rich artistically, but i've never really seen it talked about.

arhtur russel, this song, probably about half of channel 4 films back in the day.

the bloke from pet shop boys had a nice thing about their the song 'go west' back when the village people did it was about finding refuge in san francisco, whereas by the time the pet shop boys got to do it, it'd been rendered as some sort of mythical escape from aids.

philidelphia probably killed gay angst as an artistic presence. cheapened it. the unknown t of gay angst.

bloody hell, that intro. Sounds even better in a radio set where it's been compressed to fuck (seemingly)

it's like one of those things someone would say on pirate radio that reynolds would spunk his pants over. proper jack the ripper writing.

also like how it's written as though with mdma induced jaw lock.
