The Fourth Tower of Inverness continues… Week 11

TODAY on Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio — Fri­day, Decem­ber 3rd.
The Fourth Tow­er of Inver­ness  con­tin­ues with Week 11 of this excit­ing mys­tery adventure.

Airs just after the hour at Noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific Time / 8pm and mid­night in the UK.

Jack dis­cov­ers the source of all the strange crea­tures around the Inver­ness estate… Then he climbs the end­less stairs inside the Fourth Tow­er: search­ing for the mys­te­ri­ous juke­box and loaded down with nick­els to feed it, he enters the third door. What will hap­pen to him there? And then, there’s the drag­on… “By Jove, that is odd…”

Arriv­ing at the Inver­ness estate, Jack Flan­ders encoun­ters strange hap­pen­ings at the old Vic­to­ri­an man­sion. Jack is told that there are only three tow­ers in Inver­ness, even though he is cer­tain he has seen a fourth. An old juke­box, which he can­not locate, plays a haunt­ing 50’s tune just before an acci­dent hap­pens. Jack pur­sues the hid­den juke­box, search­ing through slid­ing pan­els, hol­low walls, and under­ground pas­sage­ways until final­ly he dis­cov­ers the entrance to the Fourth Tow­er that only he can see. In all these years, eight peo­ple have ven­tured into the Tow­er, nev­er to be seen again. Jack is the ninth…

Upon enter­ing the tow­er, Jack dis­cov­ers steps that spi­ral end­less­ly upward. On each lev­el there is a door, and as our hero opens each door he steps into dif­fer­ent dimen­sions: strange worlds of myth and mys­ti­cal fantasy.

Hits In Hi-Fi

Today — Sat­ur­day 27th Novem­ber — we’ll take a nos­tal­gic jour­ney back to the 1950s and 1960s and beyond, when music was on vinyl (don’t touch the play­ing sur­face!) and home audio was new and excit­ing­ly futur­is­tic… with Hits In Hi-Fi.

In the ear­ly days of stereo, a sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of albums were released that were designed espe­cial­ly to show off the won­ders of this new way of pre­sent­ing musi­cal enter­tain­ment. Sounds “ping-ponged” across the stereo sound­stage; instru­ments appeared hard on one side and then hard on the oth­er… and there were a lot of space ref­er­ences, bloops and bleeps start­ing and end­ing the pieces — and once the Moog Syn­the­sis­er became avail­able, that was includ­ed in the mix too.
