THE DETAILS...

From Japan, and singing in their own invented language similar to Magma's Kobaian dialect, KOENJIHYAKKEI is the full-on avant-progressive band headed by Ruin's Tatsuya Yoshida. This is from their new, remastered  re-issue of their 2001 album 'Nivraym" just released on Skin Graft Records with extra added sax, clarinet, keyboards and vocals! www.skingraftrecords.com

VIALKA is a French duo (Marylise Frecheville and Eric Boros) that somehow sounds like an orchestra; this is from their 2008 album 'Plus Vite Que La Musique" produced by Thinking Plague's Bob Drake - www.vialka.com and www.bdrak.com

Oakland California's GORGE TRIO have been working on this album for some years! And it shows - their pedigree includes members of Deerhoof, Flying Luttenbachers and Sicbay (ie 3/4 of Colossamite). www.skingraftrecords.com for more info

Legendary seventies progressive band GENTLE GIANT have semi-reformed (at last!), with three of the founder members playing tentative low-key gigs under the name Three Friends... glowing reports on places like progressiveears.com

The remarkable JONO EL GRANDE is apparently some kind of tabloid celebrity in Norway, hanging out with the Norwegian royal family, yet this album is a world class blend of Gentle Giant, Canterbury scene, Magma and Zappa, successfully mixing avant and old-school prog the way few others do. www.runegrammofon.com

Chicago underground legends, pranksters and all round undefinables CHEER ACCIDENT, from their recently released acclaimed album 'Fear Draws Misfortune'  www.cheer-accident.com - go to www.cuneiformrecords.com to download lots of full mp3s of forthcoming and recent releases , touring Europe soon (but no UK dates confirmed!)

This download by UK band GUAPO can be found on the Neurot site  - www.neurotrecordings.com - Guapo currently includes members of Cardiacs, Nought and Miasma And The Carousel Of Headless Horses

A burst of Buds And Spawn from England's CARDIACS from their 'Greatest Hits' album; 'the finest band to walk the face of the planet' as someone once said, sadly brought low by illness last year in the midst of tour plans and creativity. www.cardiacs.com

Its brief? To provide a radical alternative to the universal formulae of mainstream broadcasting. It features programmes made by musicians, artists and critics who represent the diversity of London's arts scene, with regular contributions from Billy Jenkins, Savage Pencil, John Bisset, Mike Barnes, Matthew  Glammore, Peter Cusack, Caroline Kraabel, Clive Graham, Viv Corringham, Chris Cutler, Charlie Dark, Magz Hall, Harmon E. Phraiser, Paul Hood, These Records, Dave Draper, the Kosmische Club; guests like Faust, Gavin Turk, Shirley Collins and The Magic Band; and numerous one-off special broadcasts by artists on the weekday "Clear Spot". 

Resonance104.4fm is bringing a multitude of experimental sound, new music, radio art and interaction to the capital's airwaves. Resonance104.4fm broadcasts from the heart of London and is simultaneously streamed on the web at www.resonancefm.com where you can also check out our full programme listings.  Resonance104.4fm is the only station of its kind in the UK, providing access radio for London's arts community.

Imagine a radio station like no other. A radio station that makes public those artworks that have no place in traditional broadcasting. A radio station that is an archive of the new, the undiscovered, the forgotten, the impossible. That is an invisible gallery, a virtual arts centre whose location is at once local, global and timeless. And that is itself a work of art. Imagine a radio station that responds rapidly to new initiatives, has time to draw breath and reflect. A laboratory for experimentation, that by virtue of its uniqueness brings into being a new audience of listeners and creators. All this and more,  Resonance104.4fm aims to make London's airwaves available to the widest possible range of practitioners of contemporary art.
