    Kscope Podcast episode188: Paul Draper

    Paul Draper is the former front man and chief songwriter behind Mansun, one of the most criminally under-rated and misunderstood bands of the Britpop era. An extraordinarily adventurous and eclectic band who were only active for 8 years, between 1995 - 2003, the sheer wealth and quality of material Mansun released in that time is monumental.    Remfry Dedman sat down with Paul to discuss his new album 'Mansun Retold', where Paul takes some of his favourite songs from the Mansun back catalogue and rebuilds them with a full acoustic band featuring acoustic guitars, bass, lead and rhythm guitars, drums and a string quartet.

    After a decade without releasing a record Dutch Progressive Metal geniuses Textures are back. The polyrhythmic polymath Stef Broks chats to Billy Reeves about how the scene has “blown up” in the last few years and why; how they made their new sound, who made it happen; who made the call, and what it’s like to be back in showbusiness now they’re all 10 years older and the audience is, in many cases, twenty years younger! You’ll hear three tracks from the new album ‘Genotype’ as well as details of how Stef plans to get close to his fans on this and future tours: bring your drum sticks…   Tracklist: At The Edge Of Winter Vanishing Twin Closer To The Unknown
