Ghost Box Mix

Sure, the LP is out. But don't miss this mix which is being hosted by the Barcelona-based Online Radio site Musicvictem. There's some just wonderful stuff in there, unreleased Ghost Box things, Ray Cathode's amazing "Waltz in Orbit" (a legendary BBC Radiophonic single by Beatles producer George Martin), the likes of Caravan, Bill Fay and Harmonia which all throw different lights on the Ghost Box catalogue.

There's even a selection from Lubos Fiser's Soundtrack to "Valerie and her Week of Wonders". In refuge from the rain at The Green Man festival I saw this projected in a dark and musty marquee. This movie is bananas, utterly dream-like. The soundtrack has just been reissued by Andy Votel's Finders Keepers label, and I suspect they probably masterminded that projection off some Czechoslovakian Betamax cassette.
