THE SCENE......
Sometime in the near future.
Unbeknown to man, the whales are communicating with alien life forces. It has been decided, to save the Earth from complete devastation, Man must be eradicated. Signals have been placed within popular music to send Man insane. As the Venusians say, a good dose of Girls Aloud or Britney can cause more damage than 100 Mega ton device. Only one band of warriors stand alone, producing good vibrations within their music. It is known as Space Rock..... The whales
begin their broadcast....Receiving incoming data transfer, begin The Magiccat Radio.
2. The Savage Saints - Say Wah (0:31)

3. Mr John Toon reads extracts from "Sci-Fi" Steven Palmer's book, "Hallucinating". Part 1.(4.09).
Stephen Palmer's novel, Hallucinating , was originally intended to be an exclusively online publication, targeted at the festival music crowd, until Sean Wallace of Cosmos Books had the vision to publish. It is a story with all the characteristic Palmer themes of not so distant future devastation, but with plenty to satisfy festie psych music fans.
The story takes place in Britain in the year 2049, after a not so typical alien invasion leaves the urban landscape near lifeless, and the countryside struggling to survive and rebuild. The main character is Nulight, an acid casualty and pagan, famed as the head of the Voiceoftibet record label. We learn that Nulight was born in Tibet, his mother a Welsh hippie who went there and married a native. Apparently the aliens had been plotting for years because Nulight had a close encounter in his youth. Or did he? His mother tells him the aliens are probably a hallucination and Nulight wonders if that's true. It was easy to accidentally pick up acid or mushrooms in our house. So I kind of grew up wondering if they were real or a hallucination . The book is available to buy from HERE
.
4. Bare Bones Corporation - Every Robot (05:08) Bare bone Corporation is the latest musical outpouring of Niall Hone, probably best known for his Bass playing on the early Mandragora Lp's.

12. Mooch - Flight Of The Dub Voyager (edit) (38:25))
Another facet to author Steven Palmer . ‘Flight Of The Dub Voyager’ is something from the Mooch archives, namely this full-length album recorded in 1996. It comprises of a single fifty-seven minute track split into 12 sub-sections. It was recorded over two sessions, with five musicians, and it’s described by the band as “a psychedelic patchwork of ambient rock that would transport the listener to the fantasyland of the good ship ‘Dub Voyager’ – the band’s favorite album of the period

6. Nukli - Sulpher (14:10:72)
The UK Festival scene has yet more secrets to reveal, and
one of the best kept secrets has to be Nukli , a band who have circulated
many tapes on the underground circuit, featuring key Ozric Tentacles' members
amongst their ranks. They eventually released an album (The Time
Factory) when the Delerium team sniffed them out of their secret bunker on
Salisbury plain. Iimagine a cross between Steve Hillage, Camel and Spirit's
"Future Games" then you're halfway there. This track from the CD "Side Effects",

12. The Hashtronaut - The Lambda
Variation (edit) (12:13:01)
The HASHTRONAUT's first ever public appearance was
at THE MUSH ROOM in Liverpool in July 2005 - an appearance that came about
purely by chance, as HASHTRONAUT was appearing as the guitarist with another
band at the venue that night, but an act fell through leaving a space on the
line-up... . If your a fan of Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream or Tim Blake, this
should appeal to you. ' HASHTRONAUT is currently planning a short series of live
shows to promote the launch of the new disc,." The Lambda Variant", from which
this edit comes. HASHTRONAUT is also preparing the final touches to the main
website www.hashtronaut.com that will carry all updated news and happenings,
along with free music downloads. The website will go live, on NOVEMBER 1st 2005.

8. 24.03 Xoo - Brain
Tattoo
The full-on 1970's Hawkwind experience - light show,
smoke, dancers, hypnotic rhythms and soaring leads - The Assassins of
Silence deliver like no one else. With a set list ranging from 1969
to 1993 and a visual presentation situated firmly in the Space Ritual era they
provide a space rock experience to ensnare the senses and transport the mind to
the furthest reaches of the Andromeda galaxy. Xoo is the (currently) solo
project of Assassins guitarist Kevin Perry. One day, he might actually be
able to find a band willing to play it and inflict the music on people in a live
environment...
9. 27.27 Underground Zero
-Seven Years
The nucleus of UZŲ was started in 1979 by Andrew Rix
(bass/vocals), Adrian Rix (keyboards) and Judi Griggs (vocals). Probably best
known for the classic Never Reach The Stars LP on Flicknife Records in 1984 and
their inclusion in the Hawkwind Friends And Relations LP's. Well after a break
of 11 years, the classic 1985 line up is back! They've reprocessed ten of their
most popular tracks (including this one) - to make them sound more '21st
century' - and produced a new compilation CD, Powerplay The CD is available from the bands website or Aural

11. 33.34 Nigel
Potter - Nocturn
Sensory overload.... Inner space - outer space. To
try to capture something, beyond the words. I guess this would be, part 2 of
the second incarnation (LOL)... Nothing special ,just music. Mary Poppins
was once asked how long she intended to stay, she replied: "Till the wind
changes direction" Nigel Also I has a collab page with his wife Susan, called
SIRENS:http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/sirens.htm .
This track dhows Nigel's continued attempts at ambience. The world of NIGHT...
Hearing becomes heightened,the pupils dilate... the brain craves more
information than it's sight reliant senses can give. Suddenly 3 million years of
evolution vanish... the fight/flight response, from the primitive sections of
our brain kick in. Where is the greater dark?... Without, or within?
12. 41.24 Litmus - I Cant be Sane
Litmus were formed in 1999 by Martin (bass, vocals) and
Simon (guitar, vocals). . Andy (keyboards, synth) joined to add keyboards at
gigs, but it was a lot of work for one man. So Matt (audio generator) joined
(Andy's brother). And then Anton (synth, audio generator) in 2002 Marek
(drums, vocals) completed this line up in 2003. This track is from "You
Are Here", the band's debut CD. They have also featured on a few
compilations, including Daze of the Underground, the Hawkwind Tribute
CD.13.44.12 Sloterdijk - Fred Goldman's moustache
Sloterdijk pronounced slO-ter-dike, is a Dutch word,
which can be translated to mean "endpoint". SLOTERDIJK is a Hawkwind inspired
spacerock project led by Mike Burro. The band plays sets which employ
psychedelic 'ambient trance' as well as full tilt percussive electronica and
heavy metallic guitar workouts This song is a postulation about Fred Goldman's
moustache and it's relevance as a media object
14.49.56 Screeper - Can Fever . The
Autons are the
new band of former Screeper front man, David Jones. Autons' maverick style mixes
modern technology with classic songwriting. The set will include one or two
Screeper songs such as this, their first single, Can Fever, which was played
numerous times by John Peel on BBC Radio 1.
15. 54.24 INTRO 4

The Finnish psychedelic space rock band Dark
Sun was formed in 1991. In the beginning they called themselves The Echoes, then
The Mythagos Wood. There were even a few other options, before the rather
mysterious and polarized Dark Sun was chosen in '92. At first they draw
their influences from a whole range of different musical styles like metal, 60'
and 70's rock, alternative, psychedelia, gothic, punk etc. Soon they realised
that their mission was to fill Finland, Europe and the whole universe with
psychedelic space rock. This track comes from their CD, "Ice Ritual", which
features a guest by Space Ritual's Nik Turner.
