Datblygu (Welsh for "developing" or "develop") formed in Aberteifi, Wales in the early 1980s, and are considered to be the driving force behind the new wave of Welsh rock that exploded midway through the decade. Their experimental post-punk, minimal synth sound and vocalist David R. Edwards cambrophone lyrics expressing intense dissatisfaction with life Wales under Thatcher, led to their music being largely ignored on mainstream Welsh radio and television. They are frequently cited as inspiration to many Welsh bands that followed, including Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and Super Furry Animals. 

Kiernan Abbott of Fragments in Wax pays tributes to some unsung heroes in the narrative of leftfield British music, with an hour of their best material.

Popol Vuh – the musical collective founded by German keyboardist Florian Fricke – is inseperable from Fricke himself. The spiritual engine of the project, Fricke was a true citizen of the world, well travelled and resolutely open minded, absorbing new cultures, spiritualities, and most importantly music with studious interest. 

Fricke accquired one of the first Moog II synthesisers in Europe in 1969, and thus Popol Vuh began as a pioneering electronic music act. Eventually Fricke and his collective abandoned electronic for expansive accoustic arrangements inspired by pre-Colombian American music, Tibetan music, African music and beyond, often working in tandem with another singular German auteur – filmmaker Werner Herzog.
