Radioshow "PVHF" on radio Centraal, Antwerp : 2007-09-15 : 800-1000 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Finders Keepers V.A. : Folk is not a four letter word 2 (VA,2006)***°’ Tr.1, Carol Batton : “Intro,Winter” 3 min Tr.4, These Trails : “Of Broken Links” 2 min Tr.6, Jan & Lorraine : “Number 33” 2 min Tr.9, Paul Parrish : “Dialogue of wind and lover” 4 min Tr.12, Parchment : “Son Of God” 4 min -15 Album with some rather essential listens of relatively unknowns. Great to see These Trails listed here too, from one of my favourite psychfolk albums. Info & sound : http://www.myspace.com/thesetrails Jan & Lorrain”s album I heard once, but it seems I forgot about this great children song. Also great to see listed is “heksenkring” from Elly & Rikkert. I won’t airplay it because most people in Belgium I assume will know it. Emmanualle Parennin’s track I airplayed before. Also great to see listed is Midwinter, and for those who still missed this : the essential Pentangle, with an outtake from their “Basket Of Light”, and the still rather obscure, Sibylle Baier ; sound : http://www.myspace.com/sibyllebaiercolourgreen * Finders Keepers V.A.: Bearded Ladies volume 1 (VA,pub.2007)**°°’ Tr.3, Magpahi : “horses” 2 min Tr.7, Bonnie Dobson : “Milk and honey” 4 min Tr.8, Turid : “Lat mig se dig” 9 min Tr.12,Jane Weaver : “All these rivers” 4 min Tr.13,Brigitte Fontaine : “Le Goudron” 5 min Tr.14,Heaven and Earth : «refuge» 3 min Tr.15,Cate LeBon : “Disappear” 5 min 32 -47 Great compilation of voices with depths of expressions. Impossible to chose less. Magpahi is a solo project from Sam & The Plants (previously airplayed). From Turid I have some albums, of which the first has some Joni Mitchel influence. The label published a full album of Jane Weaver too. Brigitte Fontaine was featured with a full Radioshow once. She still is great, an exceptional talent. From Heaven & Earth I heard has been a reissue, but I haven’t heard it yet.

A kind of farewell concept, made as a goodbye present in music, with love. Two styles can be found on it : acoustic s/sw and Cocteau Twins like, fitting greatly together. So I took two songs in two different styles.

Review : http://progressive.homestead.com/colombia.html#anchor_20 * Guerssen Genesis : Yakta Mama (Col,1975)***° Tr.8, “Raquel” 3 min -107 A bit lighter in rhythms.
