Current mood:  adventurous
The new HealeyIsland album is out to buy on CD from White Label Music. Available now packaged in a tobacco tin style metal box with art work, this is definitely something to get your hands on quickly. http://whitelabel-music.co.uk/musicshop

I've described it as being light music meets dark electronica, and there are infusions of jazz too. 

The opinion so far is that this is a highly evocative album that conjures up visual images and atmospheres of darkness and beauty.

Check out this review by Angus Maiden on his site Angus Reviews. http://gusreviews.blogspot.com/2009/10/healeyisland-not-afternoon-but-evening.html
He gets what the album is about and what I'm trying to do which is always a bonus in a review.

Thanks to Marc and Ann at White Label Music for their friendship and support. The have a wonderful label there, with a wonderful ethos.

An atmosphere of smokey, electronic, down-at-heel cabaret. Elements of warm jazz and light music mixed with close up electronic beats, basses, melodies and momentary glitches. A journey through an imaginary landscape of run down ballrooms, dance halls and clubs, through fake lives and stories.

The new HealeyIsland album 'Not Afternoon, But Evening', is due out soon on White Label Music. It will be available to buy as a cd and on itunes. In anticipation of this, four tracks from the album have been uploaded and made available for streaming as a preview here on MySpace.

'Not Afternoon, But Evening' combines elements of electronic music, jazz, drum and bass, experimental sound collage and light music in an album that I hope you will find both dark and beautiful.

Ai 21 Analogue Island Twenty One. The key to the door. HURRAH! HURRAH!

Well, this week Analogue Island celebrates twenty one consecutive weekly shows. Over the last few months we have heard some wonderful independent music from a multiplicity of genres, with tracks from self releasers, net labels and larger independents. Thanks to the labels and artists for their tireless efforts to make and promote great music, the many many listeners from across the world for listening, and also to everyone who has taken time to pass on messages of support and encouragement. Here's to the next twenty one.

I'm always looking for new music to play, so if you are artist, or a label, I'd love to hear from you. Or for that matter, if you are a listener and a lover of music, please, feel free to recommend tracks, artists or labels to me.

If you fancy a good read and you are interested in independent music and arts, I'd recommend a visit to Redefine Magazine http://www.redefinemag.com/ . Over the coming months we will be featuring recorded reviews done for Analogue Island by that illustrious publication. 

On this weeks show and in no particular order.

Death doth stalk the land and all is gloom and misery.........

Well, I'm not sure what kind of mood I was in when I compiled the playlist for AI19, but I must've been affected by the terrible summer; summer: is that really an appropriate word for what Cornwall has just experienced? Whatever the cause, be it climatic or otherwise, this week's show features music that is, on whole, preoccupied with despondency of some kind or another. Naturally, this being Analogue Island, the mood is modulated enough to allow for one or two tunes that might perk you up. But these apparent upbeat moments are only relative.

Having said all that, you can be assured that AI 19 is no damp squib: all the music is superb, whether it be wistful or darkly sinister. I hope you can listen.

What the future holds and held. It all makes sense now.....?

Friday: An elegant frisson, aided by sophisticated strings and bolstered by the optimism engendered by industrochemical advancements and their inherent possibilities; This while bright tooth decay chiptune fairies bring a spring to your step and then behave murderously and Souks and bazaars team with life and spark whole movements. Beware the lovely dark and smokey recesses of West Yorkshire's Dubby melodies, for soon 'twill be Christmas and we will have turn'd full and eventual circle.

Analogue Island 16 Friday 14th August @ 20.30 (GMT+1) Scary Party Treats.....

This week's show combines the pleasure of ironic celebrations with elements of medievalism and the scary thought of women in scapulars and habits eating jelly. Perhaps. All wrapped up in a pastry case made up of Parisian punk and analog synth sounds. www.penwithradio.co.uk

Lots of wonderful independent music. Most of which is free!

Freedom! and some other things..........

This week's Analogue Island takes in the music of protest, emancipation and national fervor as well as Jakartan Shoegaze and Scottish electronic music in what is a satisfying and unusual mix. There's also a preview of a track from the forthcoming album from Jack Merchant of Herb Recordings. Plus, I rather cheekily include a preview of a previously unheard new track of my own, from my as yet untitled new HealeyIsland album - which is due out on White Label Music soon.
Artists on this weeks show include in no particular order:

Lungbutter
DJ AJA Inc
Stanley Beckford
Ixtlan
Homesic
Plush Concept
HealeyIsland
Dana Halliot
Auditory Canvas
Jack Marchant
Faycal Ber
The Ansion
Pelangi Senji
The Macadamia Brothers

Analogue Island is a weekly radio showcase for new independently produced and released music focussing on the broad and open electronic genre with detours into lo-fi and anything else that takes my fancy sounds.

Streamed online by Penwith Radio http://penwithradio.org in Cornall UK, the show is presented by Greg Healey who has been described as "one of the very best radio djs around in this vein" and is also the musician behind HealeyIsland, Milo Moesche and Poxxicle.

New one-hour show each Friday 7.30pm UTC/GMT. (that's 8.30pm BST)

Repeats are played out on Thursdays @ 7pm UTC/GMT. That's 8pm in glorious British Summer Time.
