The Carrier Wave is an esoteric radio programme devoted to uncovering hidden connections between seemingly disparate music. This weeks setlist weaves together In the Nursery, Andrew Poppy, Attrition, Aphrodite’s Child, David Sylvian, Pink Floyd, Fairport Convention, Don Preston, Dusty Springfield, Finitribe, The Durutti Column, Hiatus Kaiyote, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Lead Into Gold, Fatal Charm, X-Ray Spex, Gorillaz, Ambrose Akinmusire, Genesis and Tim Blake into a carefully sequenced listening journey. Conceptual continuity links the pieces through shared moods, textures, historical echoes, or emotional resonance – the result is less a conventional playlist than a guided exploration, where unexpected transitions reveal the invisible threads connecting decades of adventurous music.
