PMB058 Wind Up Toys: Plone, Toy, Vic Mars, Lullatone, Pascale Comelade, Pierre …


The release of the rather lovely new album by Japanese duo Lullatone (Soundtracks for Everyday Adventures) prompted us to seek out a selection of tracks either made with or inspired by toy instruments, clockwork machines and circuit bent toys. By a spooky coincidence another brand new release also fits into this week's show rather well, that being an album by Felix Thorn who builds his own instruments using wooden piano mechanisms, springs, and solenoids to create what MC Zirconium describes as "Victorian Drum and Bass". We're always looking out for suggestions of themes for the show - or "seed" tracks from which a theme could grow. So if you have any ideas for possible themes, do please make use of the plentiful options below to get in touch.

It would make the perfect stocking filler for your nearest and dearest. Yours mechanically, DJ Bongoboy and MC Zirconium
