BBC Radio1s Mary Anne Hobbs and Planet Mu’s Mike Paradinas compile their third selection of favourite new artists for a compilation album due for release on the 7th of September 2009. The title Wild Angels was an expression that Mary Anne Hobbs used on her BBC Radio1 West Coast Rocks special to describe the influential playing of the late Alice Coltrane.
