In search of XTC

In this month’s episode of What Do You Call That Noise? The XTC Podcast we hear from Jason Repantis who works as a manager at the Universal Music Group archives. It was his job to dig out the original tapes of The Big Express for the recent Steven Wilson 5.1 Atmos remix – as well as to locate the original recordings of the 3D EP which has just been released in limited-edition vinyl. Jon Jacques and Mark Fisher ask the questions. We also join Todd Bernhardt to pay tribute to Wes Long, creator of the Optimism’s Flames website, who died much too soon on 6 December 2023. Music comes courtesy  of Michael Casey. Optimism’s Flames websiteWes Long obituary3D EP at Burning ShedThe Big Express remix at Burning Shed: Something Left Worth Saving by Michael Casey and Junglefish What Do You Call That Noise?
