so this research has important implications. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week:
"Sebel Townhouse". We look at the history of Sydney's great rock and

issues and ideas? [T;%]

how does business balance its economic imperatives with its social and
environmental responsibilities.

audience reaction when broadcast recently. Phillip Adams interviewed

parents, Maria and Nino. The program is thought provoking over issues
of justice, forgiveness, and to what extent someone with a mental
illness is responsible for their actions.
Fri.: SOUND QUALITY - For 25 years, Tim Ritchie has been seeking out
music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the
wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists.

they're all contenders and they are in this week's program." [T;%]

Wed.: James Blood Ulmer was born and raised in South Carolina, the
son of a Baptist preacher father and a mother who repeatedly warned him
of the evil influence of the blues. When James moved to northern
cities, he played guitar and blues in organ trios before meeting
Ornette Coleman who inspired Blood to create an abstractly funky,
assymetrical guitar style all his own. In recent years, Ulmer has
returned to singing - not the gospel music of his father’s group, but
blues, in a rich, quivering baritone. His latest album, “No Escape From
The Blues”, on which he plays his Gibson Birdland guitar acoustically
for the first time on a selection of songs on the theme of moving to
the big city. Thu.: Eliza Gilkyson is happy to be someone “with miles
on her tires. I’m not a new young fresh face with an innocent
perspective. There are plenty of those out there.” “Land of Milk and
Honey” is the work of an experienced adult with a wide dynamic range as
both singer & writer. Tenderness, love, fragility & ambiguity & are
expressed eloquently. So too - with no punches pulled - are her views
on the contemporary world. Her song “tender mercies” was directly
inspired by the album’s cover photo, which depicts a young boy diving
into a smelting plant's waste pool on the border between Kosovo &
Albania.
Fri.: The Rumbanella Band were formed in the Congo in 1986 to play
Congolese Rumba – music that was already nostalgic then compared to the
all electric sounds of soukous. Their two guitarist/singers, Madou
Lebon Mulowayi and Joseph ‘Serpent’ Kakonde were both born in the early
1950s and have spent many years playing in leading Congolese bands.
They reunited in 2002 to record “El Congo”, a sweet, lilting album in
the old style, with vocal harmonies, laid back electric guitar work and
smoothly blending percussion on a selection of Congolese favourites.

Dickens and Henry James famously dictated their novels, while Mark
Twain was an early adopter of that transforming technology, the
typewriter. "Light Fantastic". Photonics - the technology to manipulate

revolutionising our communications and computing. Already, most

and new research is aimed at solving the bottleneck between fibres and
computer. [%]
