He opens it with Radiohead's “Burn the Witch” and puts his own “Suspirium” fifth.
It comes soon after the hour of atmospheric records he chose for BBC Radio 6 Music's Slow Sunday, and where that was atmospheric, most of this is experimental. Jamie Muir, once King Crimson's percussionist, plays with the guitarist Derek Bailey. Dancing Astronaut picks out a thread of odd things done with the human voice running through it. Faust turn up twice and have the last word.
