“Sad to hear this podcast has finished, got me into the delights of Gnod, Sly & the Family Drone, Waq Waq Kindom and many more, worth listening to the past episodes.”

“Totally brilliant show for discovering esoteric, new independent music. Two presenters from the Peel school of amiable banter with an encyclopaedic knowledge of contemporary music. Great.”

But in my opinion IMP is much better than Bleep ever was. Hosts Gareth and Anthony understand how and why...”Read full review »
