This is volume four of the five volume set and is around an hour long.
This is mostly material from the early 80's featuring incredible collages mixed with extemporaneous trance-spout riffing, psychedelic as we bring you the 'Doktors of the Air' at the time, (Moebius Rex, Puzzling Evidence, and Gary G'Broagfran, LIES, the Sludge(tm) Girls, and Dr. Hal) who (try to) explain X-Day, "Bob", Slack(tm), the Subgenius Church, and their very strange radio show, which eventually became (some 25 years later) 'The Puzzling Evidence Show' (which is still on KPFA).
Includes music clips from 'The Band That Dare Not Speak Its Name'.
This is the third of 5 hour-long volumes of the "80's" series.
Most of these mixes are edited clips from 'The Show' which was broadcast live at 4:30 on Saturday Mornings for the longest time, and offered some of the most frenetic, breakneck, and weeeeird live mix barrage mix radio before, then, or since in the same vein as Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Firesign Theater, but with certainly it's own realm, sound and sensibility. Think Morning Zoo on acid.

These 'Best of' programs were post-mixed and edited together by Phineas Narco of the National Cynical Network. See the attendant credits for the original members and performers for 'The Show' which had a tremendous influence on NCN much later on.
Don't worry, it's just a show.
