May 6 2003 - 2/5 BZ

A session from 2/5 BZ, who appears to be a Turkish man who makes a sort of industrial electronic kind of noise. He has a remarkably broken Myspace page. Gang of Four, Ellen Allien and The Samurai Seven also feature tonight.

Thanks again, mate. And even though Colin Murray makes me want to commit multiple homicide, it's always interesting to hear a bit of the programmes that went out either side of Peel, so I appreciate your keeping them in.

It's not really a conscious decision - it's just that the conversion process is slightly less lossy if I don't do any editing at all.

Well!

i agree, leave the bits in at the end, it's interesting hearing what the other programmes were like at the time, also hearing old news is very weird indeed!

Re: Turkish music, i can't really argue with the commenter before me! Still, my favourite Turkis musician at the moment (though he's not really contemporary) is Erkin Koray, Turkey's pioneering psychedelic musician. Recommended.
