Looking back, this was a great show. Plenty of wild and experimental/avant stuff tempered by the odd "old school" and latin pieces. Perhaps my fave track from this edition was the "Untitled duet" from Albert Ayler's Last album (released after his unfortunate demise); a bagpipe and electric guitar duel, can't get much better than that! (well, maybe not, but I do like that kind of stuff). "Noemie" from Hebden and Reid also made a splash; I had a number of calls about this one. I'll have to play more from these two sometime; they have at least two CDs out and it has been a while since anything from them was aired on Breaking the Tethers.
