BACKGROUND
I have picked three recordings that are very differently themed around BBC TV and Radio:
1. John Cale's strange marriage of classical music and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, set in White City.
2. P.I.L's instrumental that manages to evoke, with keyboards and bass, the experience of tuning your dial to a station. It has the warmth of FM about it.
3. Dymaxion's eerie sound-collage is reminscent of something from Fear on Four, which used to be broadcast around the same time of night as Late Junction. This should spook all those listeners tucked up snugly in bed...
