Podcast Episode Eighty Two - a Japan & Porcupine Tree Special

Happy 2017! Kscope Podcast 82 is one for fans of Japan, abstract beauty, Porcupine Tree and seven-inch singles. Mick Karn’s latter years were very fertile, and Kscope continues its re-release of Japan’s late bassist's 21st century masterpieces: we’ll hear 4 tracks from 4 albums, and memories from his bandmate and school chum Richard Barbieri. This gives Billy Reeves an excuse to play a track from the Barbieri/Jansen live concert album (featuring Steven Wilson on guitar) and a chance to chat with Mr Barbieri about his new record, Planets + Persona. PLUS, from the new Porcupine Tree box set, a rare-as-hen’s-teeth cassette demo from way back and, as The Pineapple Thief are on tour (with Porcupine Tree’s drummer Gavin Harrison) we’ll finish with an exclusive play of TPT’s new 7” - a duet with The Anchoress… IN THIS PODCAST: Mick Karn "Ashamed to be a Part of Them" (from The Concrete Twin) "The Wrong Truth" (from Three Part Species) "Wishy Washy Wishing" (from More Better Different) "Latin Mastock" (from Each Eye A Path) www.kscopemusic.com/mk Steve Jansen & Richard Barbieri "Sleepers Awake" (from Lumen) www.kscopemusic.com/rb Richard Barbieri "Newfoundland" (from Planets + Persona) www.kscopemusic.com/rb The Pineapple Thief "Fend For Yourself feat.
