The Fusion Reactor #160 - Sound Chaser

Songs are naturally made up of a bunch of sounds... and sometimes silence. It occurs to me that there are a bunch of songs about sound, or bands named after sound. This is only scratching the surface, I didn't even get to the onomatopoeia yet. Maybe another time...

The Diamond Sea	Sonic Youth	19:36

I tired to shoot for some more "sonically explorative" songs instead of just your run-of-the-mill prog and fusion. In some cases I found it. Personally, I love the last song, but I'm sure some will absolutely hate it.

The Fusion Reactor #159 - New Additions

It's been an extremely busy week.

The Fusion Reactor #158 - Easy For You To Say

This show consists of a bunch of songs and artists with names I have trouble pronouncing. I just don't know enough about the right way to say stuff in other languages like Finnish, Gaelic, Japanese, and Kobaïan.

The Fusion Reactor #157 - Dedicated To You, Part 2

More dedications, some of a rather odd sort. I know even less about these. OK, I'm pretty sure I know who John McLaughlin is referring to in "Song For My Mother." Otherwise, I often have no idea who or what is the actual intent here.
