Starfish Prime IV

Starfish Prime IV

Continuing the series with a mix of old and new this session of Radio Mperia's primary transmission.

This session of the Starfish Prime programme starts with a Canadian band by the name of Bit by a Monkey. A three piece from Kingston Ontario, this track is downloadable for FREE at their Mperia profile
The next track comes from Sad Lovers and Giants. Taken from the 1983 Feeding the Flame album In flux is not available on Mperia or MySpace, but it's surely just a matter of time.
Staying in the last century Fish dates to 1991 and comes from Kick Asteroid featuring the dubious vocals of yours truly (well what's the point of having your own radio show if you can't indulge in a little self promotion eh?) and can be found, along with other oddities from the band, on the bands Mperia profile
Zesty Lester and the Spicy Meatball recently quit the scene, but before they left we managed to salvage a few tracks from their MySpace site including this track called I Dont Live
However Billie Ray Martin is by contrast very prolific. Possessing perhaps one of the most soulful voices around as evidenced on Crime of Passion which, along with 47 other tracks, is available via her Mperia profile and you can preview more of Billies material via her MySpace Profile
We close this session with Isobel, a track from London outfit Sweet Teeth.Again you can find this and other tracks by the band via their Mperia profile
That raps it up for this session, remember, if you have any suggestions, comments or questions about the show, or if you want to submit tracks for inclusion in future session then e-mail:strawberry.express@googlemail.com
Enjoy!
