Ok everyone! This could possibly be the final update to this post, so lets get on with it
Now I’ve always been a fan of the TV show Monkey Dust that used to be on BBC Three some years ago with it’s quirky characters and amazing music, this is the show that introduced me to the wonderful musical talents of Goldfrapp and Boards of Canada!
So since having a trusty iPod I’ve been collecting the tracks that have been on the several series that the show ran over and when I originally typed this post I had 22 tracks, now at my most recent count I have 56 tracks that were used over the three series on Monkey Dust, yes that many!
And now I’m calling on fans of the series and the music to help me out, if you know of any tracks that are not listed below that have been used in the Monkey Dust episodes, then please let me know so that I can complete my collection on my iTunes playlist, so here is my current updated list, thanks everyone

Many thanks, I see what you mean about hard to find, I think this may be a track I’ll never got on my playlist
drop me an email re this track, can source it for you
Hi,
You should have an email back from me
Also, noticed another omission: S Club 7 – Reach. It’s blaring out from the flats a couple of times when Clive is on his way home.
You shouldn’t have too much trouble getting hold of that.

Thank you thank you thank you so much. My friend from London got me into this show and I have been looking for the playlist for years. There is one song I am looking for. The only part of the lyrics you hear are ” this land tales my breath away” and it has a very mellow caverness sound. The scene is dreamscape with the boy that visits his father and they are running in a dead forrest when the boys ballon gets stuck in a tree. Its is absolutely sublime and I would love to have it in my collection. Would you know what the song is?
Thanks again

Hi, without seeing the episode of “Divorced dad and Timmy” and hearing the track, I couldn’t really say which track it actually is
Dont forget the cinematic orchestra – channel 1 suite.
The best animation show ever and a tragic loss when Thompson died.
Wow, that is a stunning list! I’ve worked out about 20 and got hold of them, even got into Boards of Canada via MD.
Congrats on the list!

Thanks Fuzzypiggy, I’m trying to get hold of a few to complete my list, some are so hard to track down!
Here is song that I do not see on the list–when the lady was having an unusual relationship w/her dog, Samson.
This Love by Craig Armstrong featuring Liz Fraser.

Thanks Wendy, I’m off to download the track from iTunes then add it to the list
There are some songs here that I didn’t know that were in the show. Thank you for sharing. I kind of want to watch Monkey Dust again.
I will have to check it out, i like many UK shows. I also love the music they incorporate. Thanks for the share.
To anyone interested, there is a track in Season 2 episode 6 called ‘Cariad’ by J-Walk with vocals by Guy Garvey. It took me so long to find it that I felt it was worth sharing. I looked in all sorts of avenues, so typically it was imdb that saved the day. Beautiful song, underrated TV show, comment over.
