On today\u2019s show we\u2019re going to hear select tracks from artists on Waveform Records<\/a>. We\u2019ll also talk with Forest<\/a>, who is the label\u2019s co-founder.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s show is kind of a big deal for me. Back in the early 90s there were a clutch of albums that came out at roughly the same time I was falling in love with electronic music. Beyond Records<\/a> Ambient Dub<\/a><\/i>, Astralwerks<\/a> Excursions in Ambience<\/a><\/i> and Waveform Records A.D.<\/i> compilation albums were on heavy rotation on my show when I was spinning at WMFO<\/a>. I still consider those albums essential listening and they introduced me to a wider world of electronic music beyond industrial and happy hardcore.<\/p>\n

When I began solipsistic NATION<\/b> I had a list of record labels I wanted to feature on the show and Waveform Records was always on the top of the list. It\u2019s a real treat for me, and I hope for you as well, to have Forest on today\u2019s show. Forest will flesh out the history of Waveform Records and it\u2019s origins in Forest\u2019s radio show, Musical Starstreams<\/a> and it\u2019s connections to Beyond Records. We\u2019ll also get a look at how online reviews can unfairly dog an album for years. And we\u2019ve got some really, really<\/i> great music to listen to!<\/p>\n

Next month, by listener demand, we\u2019ll showcase Katabatik Records<\/a>. Joins us again next week and we\u2019ll do it all over again. But completely different!<\/p>\n
