The CyberDen Internet Radio Show!
DJ Bat, the electrowizard behind one of my all-time favorite industrial/ambient acts, Xorcist, now has an exceptional podcast going. The first volume, “Blueprint of Life (1965-1985),” is a wonderful retrospective documenting how electronic music (and music in general) influenced Herr Fledermaus during his formative years. It’s a wonderfully intimate, and extremely musically diverse memoir of one fella’s musical influences that greatly parallels my own, though, as I was born a little later, our timeframes don’t quite coincide—though we were still both huge New Wave fanatics.
The second podcast is a superb selection of Halloween-oriented music! And believe me, DJ Bat knows his horror-movie music….Didn’t hear any Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos in there, but hey…I still haven’t even gotten close to finishing that damn album yet. :) Check it out, though, fellow electro-heads! Early electronic music and spooky jams are good for the soul.
Plus, Bat gets Mad Props for mentioning Emerson Lake & Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery.
