Farewell To A Class Clown

Download this episode (60 min)
Another episode of the 'Stroboscope is now ready for your listening pleasure. This one is the usual mixed bag of psychedelic sounds, ambient tones and progressive riffs. It starts out as a tribute to one of my favourite comedians, George Carlin, who passed away at age 71 last month. An excerpt from Carlin's "Class Clown" opens the episode in style, followed by some classic Coltrane(Carlin was reputed to be a big jazz fan).

The rest? You get some psychedelic folk, progressive metal, ambient (courtesy of those out-there cats, The Orb), trippy hip-hop hybrids, ethno/drone and finally a bit of 70s disco from Marvin Gaye (a special request by Singing Bear).

I hope you enjoy this one--it was fun to put together. Be back soon with episode five (and if I can get things to work correctly--a brand new feature!). 'Till then, happy listening...
