    Ep.10 - DOUGLAS DARE

    Those who know Douglas Dare will already love his haunting, catchy and thought-provoking piano-led electronica. Those who don't: you're missing out on one of the best songwriters at work today.

    Ep.9 - TIM PALMER

    Ep.9 - TIM PALMER

    For this episode, Chris and Tim sat down with a proper rock legend: Tim Palmer. Producer of albums for acts as fearsome as Ozzy Osbourne, HIM, Robert Plant, The Mission and Tin Machine, but also as subtle and catchy as Texas, Tears For Fears and The Psychedelic Furs, Tim has done it all: from engineering Dead Or Alive, to mixing tracks for U2 and also Pearl Jam's classic debut, Ten. He also co-produced Tin Machine. Did we mention Tin Machine already? He did Tin Machine.
