A recent edition of Spinning On Air featured pop opulence of the '60s. This time, host David Garland offers new and recent music that embodies various kinds of opulence: intricacy, sumptuousness, harmonic complexity, delicacy, density, colorful orchestration, and extravagant imagination. Featured performers include the bands Liturgy, Of Montreal, and Fiery Furnaces, composers Gabriel Kahane, and Emily Scott, plus more from Mimi Goese & Ben Neill, Jun Togawa, and Tori Amos.
