Most exciting this week is three new tracks by Elaine Walker / ZIA from her new EP, “Trapezoid.” These tracks have a wonderful disco feel that untie the dance groove with microtonal sensibility. Her music is complimented this week by Brendan Byrnes (a regular on XEN RADIO), Wendy Carlos’ “Poem for Bali” from the immensely important “Beauty in the Beast” album, the Classical Arabic Orchestra of Aleppo, and two songs by Dealer’s Choice, the 1973 men’s barbershop quartet champions.
