Why do I think its worth recommending? Well quoting what it says about it's self on it's home page:

"A laid-back, esoteric mix of music from across the globe, ranging from Mali to Bali, and from medieval chant to 21st-century electronica. Presented by Fiona Talkington and Verity Sharp."

I have been listening to it now for a few weeks and I have to say I'm becoming something of a fan. I enjoy a wide range of different music and this programme certainly caters to that taste. You will find on a typical evening classical pieces rubbing shoulders with rock, folk, ethnic and progressive music the only thing that doesn't seem to get an airing, thankfully is the current pop (i.e. boy bans etc.).

If the music has a common thread then you might be forgiven for thinking that its mostly laid back ideal for relaxing to.

I know that some of the regular listeners will dispair seeing Late Junction as yet another invader within the hallowed halls of Classical music, but as I said it is well represented in all its forms from mediaeval right through to modern.

Unless your a purist you'll welcome this little meeting of the musical ways as I have. I strongly recommend you give late Junction a go.
