The Definitive Playlist for Music from the Amazing Show Monkey Dust!

Now I’ve always been a fan of the TV show Monkey Dust that used to be on BBC Three some years ago with its 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 58 tracks that were used over the three series on Monkey Dust, yes that many!

It is such a shame that the every series of the strange and somewhat disturbing show is not available on DVD/Blu-ray, yes it may not be very “PC” these days with the characters that were in the show, but surely it’s up to people what they buy and watch, maybe one day all the shows will be released to us.

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 😉
