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.
