Motte and Bailey – Episode May 15, 2024

This month's edition of Top of the Castle is focused around the tragic passing of the legendary musician and engineer Steve Albini. Involved in over 4 decades of music from Slint to Nirvana, this show a special selection of songs that he was involved with. Some familiar, some obscure, all amazing.

The rest of the episode has excellent folk from America to Egypt, a long track from a classic prog rock band, and the return of an important and influential (for better or for worse) figure in modern drum and bass.
