Episode 403: Eppytaph

The Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show

This is the 403rd edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note that the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). Hopefully you enjoyed the previous show, because I’m back with more of the same and a typically eclectic playlist. We have a feature artist again this time, Peter Sinfield, the English poet and lyricist perhaps best known for his early association with King Crimson, who sadly passed away on the 3rd of November this year, so, in tribute to him, I’ll be playing three tracks throughout the playlist that he had some involvement in. Other than that, you can expect the usual eclectic mixture of music, including tracks from lots of recent releases, and even some tracks from releases yet to come. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.

Total running time: 2 hours and 29 minutes. Downloaded file is 134.1 MB.

Thanks to all the musicians who contributed, and of course to all of you listeners. Send us comments if you like what you hear (or even if you don’t… feedback is so important!). If you want to keep up to date with news about the show, EppyFest, or just chat with other listeners, don’t forget that there’s a Facebook group – just search for the Eppy Gibbon Podcast Show on Facebook and request to join, plus don’t forget that we’re now part of the Progzilla Radio Network. For the next show, due to be released in a couple of weeks, it’s that time of the year again, so we’ll be having another of our annual festive specials, so there will be the usual eclectic mixture of music but with more of a wintry, solstice and Christmas theme. I hope to see you back for that.
