Drive Time by Philip Perkins
DRIVE TIME: Fun 1004 1985 LP DRIVE TIME is a series of pieces composed as an alternative to early morning commute or "drive time" radio. The piece alternates melodic songs (often parodies of commercial tunes) with electronic washes and stereo location recordings of street bands, parades, animals, ambiances etc. etc.. The whole is assembled with segues like a live radio show. (Note that this Bandcamp version unfortunately removes all the segues that were part of the original LP.)
