STEVE LAMACQ ALBUM CLUB - THE AVALANCHES' SINCE I LEFT YOU (320kbs-m4a/148mb/64mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 18th August 2021
Steve Lamacq plays The Avalanches' masterful debut album in full, as part of a week-long celebration of the art of sampling.
Released in the UK on XL Recordings in 2001, The Avalanches were an Australian noise-punk group before changing direction for their first record. It was initially a concept album called Pablo's Cruise, about a man chasing a woman he loved from port to port around the world - and remnants of that original idea still remain. Estimates of exactly how many samples there are on the album range from around 900 to over 3,000 - mostly recorded from vinyl records. It features the title track and the bonkers surprise hit Frontier Psychiatrist. The album was a top ten hit here in the UK but after its success the group went very quiet, not following up the record until 2016's Wildflower.

THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 24 - 1. BRIAN MOLKO (320kbs-m4a/131mb/58mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 4th July 2021
Matt chats in-depth with enigmatic Placebo frontman Brian Molko about his musical 'firsts', revealing the pivotal moments and songs that shaped his life and career.
The Scottish-American musician, songwriter and actor burst onto the music scene as the frontman of one of the most exciting bands of the 1990s. With his distinctive vocals, aggressive guitar style and androgynous appearance Brian and the band won over a legion of devoted fans worldwide, including David Bowie who invited them to support him on tour.
Placebo founders Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal had both attended the American International School of Luxembourg, without speaking to each other, as they were part of different social circles. The two met by chance in 1994, in London. At the time, Stefan was taking guitar lessons and was on his way home when he met Molko at South Kensington tube station. Brian, observing that Stefan had a guitar strapped to his back, invited him to watch a gig. On the strength of Molko's performance, Stefan decided that they should start a band.
In October 1995 the band released "Bruise Pristine" and by 1996 Placebo were signed with Caroline Records. Their debut album, the self-titled Placebo, was released the same year. In 1997 they released "Nancy Boy" a song which openly discussed sexual allusions, mental health, and drug use. It peaked at number 4 in the UK singles.
Placebo have released seven studio albums, all of which have reached the Top 20 in the UK, and have sold around 11 million records worldwide. In this interview recorded in 2016, and never before aired, Brian talks about his first musical memories, working with Bowie, and the bands that have influenced his career.

ARCHIVE ON 4: A SPY IN EVERY EMBASSY (320kbs-m4a/130mb/56mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 15th May 2021
"The intelligence coup of the century." The extraordinary story of the longest running and most successful secret intelligence operation of the 20th Century.
For more than half a century, governments all over the world trusted a single company, Swiss-based Crypto AG, to keep the communications of their spies, soldiers and diplomats secret. But what none of its customers ever knew was that Crypto AG was owned for over 20 Cold War years by the CIA in partnership with the BND, the German Intelligence Service. The machines that many customers bought had deliberately weakened security – a window through which the CIA and BND could read the diplomatic traffic between their embassies, their trade negotiators and their own spies.
The BND sold out its share in 1993 for a tidy profit while the CIA continued until the company was broken up in 2018.
Crypto AG's own secret was only cracked last year in a combined investigation by German ZDF television, Swiss SRF and the Washington Post following the discovery of a secret history, Operation Rubicon, that had been assembled by some of the operatives who had been involved in the deception.
A Spy in Every Embassy is the story of the story, presented by German intelligence journalist Peter F Muller, who produced last year's television programme for ZDF, and British journalist David Ridd.
It gives the chronology of the manoeuvrings, arguments, successes and deceptions of the partnership that remained secret for a quarter of a century. Its revelations offer a new perspective on some of the landmark events of those decades - the Falklands War, the US bombing of Libya from British airfields, the negotiations that lead to the Camp David Accords and the Iranian Hostage crisis, as well as the daily churn of intelligence information from around the world about both friends and opponents.
The programme considers the collateral damage of deception on a grand scale. Most employees of Crypto AG knew nothing of the built-in weaknesses of the machinery they were building or trying to sell to governments in some very dangerous parts of the world.
