Shock World Service 053 Obelisk High by Chequerboard 03/10/13 Dublin, Ireland 1. J.R. Alexander – Memories The beautifully produced opening track from an EP released in 2012 by Jerome Alexander of Message to Bears featuring the sounds of the cups & saucers jostling about as patterned percussion. 2. Holden – The Illuminations (Excerpt) A brief tumble through the stars via an excerpt from James Holden's new album 'The Inheritors'. 3. Clark – Soft Eruptor One of five tracks from the Iradelphic sessions sent out to people on Clarks mail out list recently & described as some extra material from his recent release 'Iradelphic', it contained some of my favourite Clark tracks ever. The blurred use of Martina Topley Birds vocals here envelop the guitar beautifully. 4. Recomposed by Max Richter – Autumn 3 (Vivaldi, The Four Seasons) A brief striking piece from Max Richter's interesting Four Seasons recomposition project. 5. Girls Names – Pittura Infamante The key track from the brilliant LP 'New Life' by the Belfast 4 piece. 6. Wax Stag – Fantasy Gay A lovely leisurely piece of electro pop from the 80s referencing synth maestro Robert Lee aka Wax Stag. 7. Tim Hecker – No Drums Ghostly, poignant, hopeful and bleak, this piece from Tim Heckers amazing Ravedeath 1972 album is the audio equivalent of a haunting. 8. Chequerboard – Obelisk A brief track from my new album 'The Unfolding' out now on Lazybird records. http://www.chequerboard.com 9. Christ – One Sunny Cloudy Day A melting glacier of nostalgia under a blanket of surface noise from the elusive Scottish electronic artist Christ. The accompanying video by Stefan Larsson depicting two mysterious figures mirroring the movements of robotic trees in a snowy realm is a masterpiece. 10. Bark Psychosis – All Different Things A beautiful exercise in the extremes of quiet & loud from English shape shifting post rock/musical project Bark Psychosis. 11. Red House Painters – Sundays & Holidays An old tumbling autumnal gem from Red House Painters 1994 Shock Me EP. 12. Ethernet – Current (Loscil Remix) Scott Morgan remixes Ethernet creating a stunningly vast realm of icey tones. Listen out for the distant bombs going off. 13. ilex – ilk Great piece from Dublin based Holly McGowans ilex project recalling Susumu Yokota via Orbital. 14. Colleen – Break Away An interesting vocal montage from Cecile Schotts brilliant new album ' The Weighing Of The Heart. 15. Library Tapes - Sun Peeking Through The beautifully poignant title track from Swede David Wenngren's recent album as Library Tapes. 16. Ametsub - Opening Above the clouds time with this strident gem from little known Tokyo-based Japanese artist Ametsub. 17. Blanck Mass - Sundown Music to watch stars explode to would be a fitting description for the music of Benjamin John Power, one of the founding members of Fuck Buttons. 18. Clark – Guy Fawkes/Night Night A hungry robot bird beckons in an unspooling guitar loop in this intriguing vignette from the Iradelphic Sessions mailout EP. 19. Luigi Boccherini – La Musica Notturna (Excerpt) I couldn't resist finishing on this charming snippit of Boccherini. Playful, charming but hinting at so much more.

Shock World Service 049 The Coin Operated Winter Podcast by Chequerboard 12/12/12 Dublin, Ireland 1. The National Trust - Music Box In 2010, the National Trust commissioned Jarvis Cocker to create an album of found sounds taken from heritage sites around the UK. 2. Memory Tapes - Yes I Know One of my favourite songs of recent years, with 'Yes I know' Dayve Hawk mixes strident military drums with gothic 80s pop stylings. 3. Jonny Greenwood - Toki no Senrei wo Uketeinai mono wo Yomuna A stand out track from Jonny Greenwoods stunning soundtrack for the film adaptation of Haruki Murakami's book 'Norwegian Wood'. 4. Seti The First - Le Basinette Noir The opener from the debut album 'Melting Cavalry' by Dublin based Seti The First. 5. Clark - Mother McKnight A woozy, warm and playful Chris Clark rarity on a release called 'Throttle Clarence'. 6. Katie Kim - Your Mountains Katie Kim at her brilliant best with this fragile lullaby from her 2012 'Cover to Flood' album. 7. Bogdan Raczynski - Alright (Part 7) The Canadian prankster is better known for insane drill and bass excursions or tongue in cheek hyperactive mashups but dig a little deeper and you'll unearth exquisite gems like this. 8. Jai Paul - Jasmine Its always refreshing to have your perception challenged, so I'll never forget hearing the teeth wobbling bass that unhinges everything in this insanely soulful track. 9. Parks - Topaz This beautiful song takes me back to a more innocent time for ambient music when it was enough to get lost in plateaus of revolving patterns. 10. Ex Confusion - Chapter 5 I discovered Japanese guitarist/laptop minimalist Atsuhito Omori by accident last year but he has subsequently become a mainstay in all my playlists. 11. A Winged Victory For The Sullen - Steep Hills Of Vicodin Tears Just when I thought US drone masters 'Stars of The Lid' were closing up shop, this stunning side project appears out of nowhere. For me this particular track stands out for its uncharacteristically hopeful and conclusive cello sequence. 12. Sun Kil Moon - Admiral Fell Promises I actually pulled over the car and parked by the side of the road to listen carefully when I heard this first come on the radio one evening, one of those pinned to the earth moments. It feels like the song that represents everything about Mark Kozelek as an artist. 13. Lilac Time - Love Becomes a Savage I rediscovered this 1987 gem by The Lilac Time earlier this year. I adored it years ago. It acts as a great reminder of a particular strain of gothic pop recalled and touched on by many artists such as Junior Boys and Memory Tapes now. 14. Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou - Mother's Love A recent discovery but from an older time, this piece sums up everything wonderful and unique about the music of this Ethiopian nun who still plays for up to eight hours a day in a monastery in Jerusalem where she now resides. 15. The Leisure Society - We were Wasted This song for me acts as a sister piece to Mark Kozeleks 'Admiral Fell Promises' with its delicate nylon string guitar arrangement and lush vocal harmonies. 16. Message to Bears - Wake Me A wonderful uplifting piece by Oxford based multi instrumentalist Jerome Alexander. 17. Joe Keawe & His Harmony Hawaiians - Hookipa Paka After a recent exploration into the cheerful waters of vintage Hawaiian music, I stumbled upon this slow reflective gem. 18. Cleoma Breaux & Joe Falcon - Mon vieux d'autrefois A similar recent dive into cajun music resulted in discovering the music of Joe Falcon (1900-1965) and his wife Cleoma Breaux (1906–1941). 19. Clark - Frost Investigation Another music box themed piece seeing as we're wrapping things up. 20. The Doobie Brothers - Busted Down Around O'Connelly Corners I'll finish off with this brief beautiful guitar passage by Doobie Brothers guitarist James Earl Luft.
