The Crow Versus Crow Radio Show #40

Here is episode #40 of the Crow Versus Crow Radio Show. Such a landmark episode, one signifying wisdom, maturity and an increased anxiety regarding ones own impending, inevitable demise, holds further significance in that it is the first episode to feature a specially recorded 'Crow Versus Crow Radio Show Session'. It is a pleasure to present 6 tracks from Hapsburg Braganza, including reworked versions of tracks from the 'Recurring Dreams' LP, new and unreleased tracks, and a special interpretation of Roy Orbison's 'Running Scared'.

There is also a live recording of Aqua Dentata's set at the recent Sheepscar Light Industrial and Crow Versus Crow night at Wharf Chambers, Leeds.

If you are at all interested in the work of the artists featured in this episode, please support the artists and labels through purchasing their records and attending their shows where possible.

This episode originally aired in a far inferior mono form on 96.7 Phoenix FM (Calderdale) between 6 and 8pm on Sunday 30th September 2012.
