Bridges 46 Air date : 24th December 2022 @ 1900 hours

The forty sixth edition of Bridges, Radio Northumberland's show dedicated to electronic & alternative music will air at 1900 hours on 24th December 2022.

Tonight's show is the first of two Tangerine Dream specials. On the basis that you cannot possible cram fifty years of musical adventures into just four hours, I've cherry-picked my favourite tracks from the last forty years, starting from that point when Julie and I first fell in love with the band when we were undergradutes in 1983. Playing Galaxians on my BBC Model B microcomputer accompanied by Messers Froese, Franke and Schmoelling still gives me the warm fuzzies all thse years later. I haven't listened to some of these tracks in a decade and, frankly (no pun intended), I'd forgotten how good some of them were.

So, Tangerine Dream...

Tonight's show is also different in that I (and my poor family) have a really nasty head cold and my voice sounds as rough as a Badger's bum. Hence, the music just flows for pretty much the whole two hours without any commentary. Here's the full track listing for this show...

  • Sphinx Lighting, Hyperborea
  • Exit, Exit
  • Dominion, Logos Live
  • White Eagle, White Eagle
  • Barbakane (edit), Poland
  • Tangent (edit), Poland
  • Streethawk, Le Parc
  • Yellowstone Park, Le Parc
  • Song of the Whale Part One, Underwater Sunlight
  • Song of the Whale Part Two, Underwater Sunlight
  • Marakesh, Optical Race
  • Sungate, Optical Race
  • Ghazal, Optical Race
  • Alchemy of the Heart, Tyger
  • Civilised illusions, Shy People
  • Lily on the Beach, Lily on the Beach
  • Desert Drive, Lily on the Beach
  • Long Island Sunset, Lily on the Beach

Next week's show will concentrate on the later years and maybe even some of the mid-seventies releases too...

Let me know what you think...

For now, best wishes for Christmas and the New Year from David & family

Bridges 42 Air date : 29th October 2022 @ 1900 hours

The forty second edition of Bridges, Radio Northumberland's show dedicated to electronic & alternative music aired at 1900 hours on 29th October 2022.

Tonight's show returns to the usual format, only this time with added contributions from the City of Sunderland's Road Crew, who have been building a Cycle Path on Durham Road for the last four months. The noise from this project has become truly intrusive, especially this last week, to the point that we gave up trying to record the programme altogether and went for a walk around the local nature reserve just to get thirty minutes of peace and quiet from the heavy-weight machinery trundling past our windows.

Today has been relatively quiet so I think we can safely assume that the project is finally winding down, which is good because, well, it's caused us both a lot of stress and, in particular, left me feeling pretty dispondent about carrying on with the show and, indeed our business, when you have this level of disrruption going on around you during the six or seven hours of what is supposed to be our prime shift.

Anyway, being positive, lots of new musicians in this week's show including the awesome Venus Hum (How have I missed them?), Blue Man Group, Boy is Fiction and Tim Eilers.

The show is repeated several times across Radio Northumberland's schedule: Mondays @ 2200 hours, Thursdays @ 2200 hours, Saturdays @ 1900 hours so there are plenty of opportunities hear the music if you've missed it.

Once again, I'd like to thank Sunderland City Council and our neighbours for the noise, the dust and the loud conversations at 2 am over the last seven weeks. It really would be quieter in downtown Bogota during the annual military coup.

Bridges 37 Air date : 13th August 2022 @ 1900 hours

The thirty seventh edition of Bridges, Radio Northumberland's show dedicated to electronic & alternative music will air at 1900 hours on 13th August 2022. Tonight's show is sort of a Thomas Dolby special. I've been ready his autobiography, The Speed of Sound, about his rise to fame as a pop star followed by the loss of his first fortune (due mostly to the record company being dicks), and then his second fortune as a consequence of the DOT COM boom. Fantastic stuff. Highly recommended.

Tonight's show is also dedicated to the institution that is Sunderland City Council and most especially to our neighbours over the road in sunny Houghton-le-Spring. SSC are busy installing a new Cycle Way along Durham Road and we've had three weeks of drills, buzz saws and mechanical diggers, as well as the dust and dirt which now encrusts our poor car and the front of the house. To cap it off, our neighbours decided to have a new driveway installed on the hottest three days of the year, so we've had a week of even more screaming buzz saws and mechanical diggers tearing up the road to contend with, as well as even more dust and dirt. Our neighbours? They went out for the day and left the workmen to their own devices. At least SSC wrote to us to let us know about the inconvenience. Anyway, R & J. This is for you.

The show is repeated several times across Radio Northumberland's schedule: Mondays @ 2200 hours, Thursdays @ 2200 hours, Saturdays @ 1900 hours so there are plenty of opportunities hear the music if you've missed it.
