The Dream of Harry Lime is the dream of the outernational.
The theory of the outernational maintains that fantasy is a world music.
Folk begins with a deep feeling, circumscribed by no particular nation,
and starts a tendency tethered to no state save the imaginary.
The soundtrack: fantasy folk, cante jondo, rock-in-opposition,
free radical and progressive deep song from all over the planet.
Feel the tendency on Wednesday nights from 8-9.
DJ Papa Gentle I just discovered your show and I'm digging it to the utmost! I was driving down the 405 on July 15, 2009 the first time I heard it. I tore a page from my notebook and scribbled the following going 80mph:
Show - The Dream of Harry Lime "french fantasy prog"
I tried my best to make out the french-inspired playlist and came up with the following nonsense:
max-like/x-like , elle o eem . flamendialice , dickens , catherine diderot?
Can you help by providing a playlist for that date? Or if you can puzzle out my nonsense, provide a few names to check out in the genre? Thanks a million!!!

Hi Papa Gentle,
You played an amazing French psychedelic song about 8:20 on Sept. 22. I wanted to call up right then and donate, but did not have access to a phone at the time. Do you recall who the artist was, so I may try to find the CD?
I love your show - the variety of music you play is wonderful. Please keep up the good work of expanding my horizons!
