It's a bit late -- my apologies. But here, I've just got a stream of the songs I liked the most that weren't available on Spotify. It was actually quite difficult to figure out, as I lost all my files a few months ago and thus all my program planning from the years past. So this could've been longer. But it's an interesting little mix regardless.

Next, a different sort of thing. I'm doing a best-of for my show. I've had it for three years, but I'm transferring to another school, so I'm wrapping things up here. Hopefully I'll be able to continue it at the new school.

I've gathered my favorite tracks from over the years and made a Spotify playlist out of it. Of course, it doesn't include everything I've played—some of it isn't on Spotify—but that’ll be next week.

This week, I'm just playing a sample of the playlist.

Listen to the show at wmre.live @ 2:00PM EST! Also, consider checking out the spotify best-of below! A behemoth!

04/11/26 - Jam_27

Listen to the show below!

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Notes
Günter Schickert	Puls	Überfällig	Sky Records	1979	Krautrock. Repetitive, psychedelic textures blending rock and electronic music. Notable for its association with the German scene rather than purely sonic traits. Schickert was connected to Klaus Schulze, which demostrates the importance of scene participation in genre classification.
Ali Farka Touré	Goye Kur	The Source	Hannibal Records	1993	Malian blues blending traditional Songhai music with American blues. Considered a pioneer of "desert blues," but often excluded from being called it due to ethnic and geographic distinctions between Songhai and Tuareg musical traditions.
Caetano Veloso	Tu Me Acostumbraste	Araçá Azul	Philips	1973	Filin (Cuban bolero-jazz fusion). A Spanish-language performance on a Brazilian record associated with MPB. Shows how genre labels break down when records draw from multiple cultural and musical traditions.
Spirit Agent	Womanism	Depth Perception	Navigators	1999	90s abstract hip hop from Florida. Stylistically closer to underground NYC rap than Southern hip hop trends of the time. Genre as a loose descriptive category rather than a geographically fixed identity.
Ziad Rahbani	Houdou Nisbi	Houdou Nisbi	Relax-in Records	1985	Lebanese music (musiqa lubnaniyya) combining Levantine traditions with Western jazz orchestration. Reflects how "Western" influence can vary widely. Here, leaning toward smooth jazz and fusion.
Invisible	Durazno Sangrando	Durazno Sangrando	Talent / CBS	1975	Argentine progressive rock led by Luis Alberto Spinetta. Jazz-influenced in a nuanced way atypical of prog rock, and lyrical in an abstract, poetic tradition typical of prog rock.

Ethnomusicological practice where music is documented as lived experience rather than authored "songs." Title reflects recording conditions rather than an original name.
The Diablos	The Wind	Single	Fortune Records	1954	Doo-wop. Group's only national hit. Eerie, surreal atmosphere compared to contemporaries like The Platters. Influential on Smokey Robinson and the Detroit vocal scene.
Peter Barclay	You Are Loved	I'm Not Your Toy	Numero Group	2023 (rec. 1990s)	Dreamy, atmospheric DIY art pop. Originally recorded at home and later compiled by Numero Group. Cassette-based independent recording culture.
Majida El Roumi	Kalimat	Kalimat	Music Master	1991	Lebanese pop in the musiqa lubnaniyya tradition. Blends Arabic musical forms with Western orchestration.
Enrique Morente & Lagartija Nick	Omega	Omega	El Europeo / Discos Probeticos	1996	Radical flamenco nuevo/art rock fusion. Lyrics adapted from Federico García Lorca. Highly controversial within traditional flamenco circles for experimental approach.

"Travis Scott sampled one of the songs and put it on his Grammy album. So after 40, almost 50 years, all of a sudden, the most money I've made in music is in the rap era, so it's pretty wild that happened" -- Chuck Senrick talking about Travis Scott sampling "Don't be So Nice"

"I think it’s very pretentious for people to cite influences. It implies that, therefore, you’re carrying this on or taking this farther. Everybody’s always, “I’m influenced by this, I’m influenced by that.” What do you mean “influenced by”? You love that. You imitate that. But who knows whether what you do has anything to do with it." -- Arto Lindsay

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Notes
Twin Cosmos	Giniro no Tsubasa	Double Action	N/A	1982	Electronic-tinged psychedelic folk track from a Japanese twin brother duo. Opens first side of their yin-yang concept album.
Arto Lindsay	Simply Are	Noon Chill	Bar/None	1998	A surprisingly mellow art pop track from a former no wave pioneer. 15 years passed, he's clearly far removed from his abrasive DNA days.
Elton Dean's Ninesense	Nicrotto	Happy Daze	Ogun	1978	A sprawling avant-garde jazz piece with spiritual jazz undertones. Free-flowing brass arrangements. Dean was saxophonist for Soft Machine of the Canterbury scene.

Khan Jamal	Breath of Life	Drum Dance to the Motherland	Dogtown	1973	A spacey live vibraphone piece. Reflects Jamal's work with Sun Ra and the Sounds of Liberation.
Charlie Megira	Tomorrow's Gone	The Abtomatic Misterzinger Mambo Chic	N/A	2001	An early hypnagogic pop (read: lo-fi neo-psychedelia) track. Only about two years late from hypnagogic pop pioneers Ariel Pink and John Maus.
Anne-James Chaton & Andy Moor	Princess In A Rover P6 3500s V8	Transfer	Unsounds	2011	A collaboration between a French spoken word artist and an experimental guitarist. Fragmented electroacoustic storytelling. Track likely references Princess Diana.
Stephen Scott	Rainbows, I	New Music for Bowed Piano	New Albion	1983	A post-minimalist composition blending process-driven abstraction with a listenable and meditative quality. Light, airy, and soft sounds.
