Episode 394: Invasion of the Earthmen

The Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show

This is the 394th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note 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). This show was initially put together in the last few days before EppyFest 11, but wasn’t finished until after that weekend ended, so apologies for any wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey nonsense. We have a featured album, ‘The Last Flight of Billy Balloon’, the 2008 album by Marvin B. Naylor, so you’ll hear three tracks from that. The album is being re-released on vinyl for the first time this month and it was a great pleasure to get Marvin into the Eppy Gibbon studio and have him talk about it. In addition, you can expect a typically excellent and eclectic range of music, covering all the usual styles and genres. 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 17 minutes. Downloaded file is 124.8 MB.
