LIST 192 - 04/03/16

Hello again,

Snow!  In quantity!!!  Well, in quantity for this corner of South Yorkshire, at least.  I'm no fan of the stuff, but this late, defiant blast of cold weather after a relatively benign winter hitherto gives me the perfect opportunity to share a couple of snow-related gems in this week's List.  Twinned as it is with Geoffrey Jones's BFI film of the 1963 Big Freeze, the composition from BBC Radiophonic Workshop figurehead Daphne Oram is a particularly wonderful, evocative contribution.  Enjoy.

Elsewhere, it's a pleasure to share contributions from Slowdive-and-Mogwai-and-Editors supergroup Minor Victories; York's finest purveyor of deadpan, acerbic sprechgesang Mark Wynn; the first sighting of post-Dada jazz punksters and The Very Things forerunners The Cravats (cult hero The Shend and all) for aeons; and some seriously smart genre-bending work from Jlin (electronic/footwork/trap) and Golden Teacher (dancehall/Afrobeat/musique concrete).
