ABSTRACT SCIENCE celebrates 1200 episodes + 25 years with a special podcast focused on music from 1997, our first year broadcasting (an oral history of the radio show was expertly chronicled by The Chicago Reader ahead of our 1000th episode, 20 year celebration, 20 hour marathon takeover of WLUW in 2017). CHRIS begins with IDM + trip hop, then jungle (as it was becoming drum n bass). HENRY follows with a few of his own drum n bass + downtempo selections, before getting into garage, house + techno. [aired 27 January 2022 on WLUW-Chicago 88.7FM]
