We all are stars

Episode 699

Are you celebrating anything these holidays? Well, I am not religious myself, but we still follow the tradition of having a Christmas tree and having potatoe salad with sausages on Christmas Eve. Not sure why. But it's a time to be grateful to have such a great family around. Luckily, I stay away from all the gift-making madness so it really is peaceful. And so is the music tonight. At least most of it (haha). Join me for the final editon for 2023 tonight with great tracks by Bryan Lubeck (Welcome Winter), Wane of Summer, Roberto Sass, Promethex, Tuuligan, and Ambient Indigo (Christmas Ambient), Beckett (It's Christmas Time! IV: The Quest For Peace), Cousin Silas (Festive 3), Rick Sparks (Angeline), Allen Pitts (Advent), Jill Haley (Alaskan Soundscapes), Kori Linae Carothers (On A Cold Frosty Morning), Markus Reuter (Comet).

 

Flexible ear training

Timeless sound

Episode 697

We are closing in on the holiday season. So what better to choose as aural companion as traditional music? Well, for us ambient and electronic fans this definitely makes sense. And I am surely not talking about christmas classics. It's Berlin School and related styles, interpreted by older and younger artists alike. So I encourage you lot to join me tonight for some very cool tracks by Redshift (BERLIN - A Tribute Album for Mark Shreeve), Uwe Reckzeh (Schallplatte 26), AeTopus (Cup), Anantakara (Across A Veiled River), B. Ashra (Aurora), Zanov (Lost in the Future), Ivan Black (Into Chaos We Must Run), A Collection of Notes (Oceanic Wavelengths).

 

Sparkling silence

Episode 696

Ashra (Aurora), Wolfgang Bock (Mintaka), Time Away (Prophet of Shadow), Bahía Mansa (Mallki), Frore & Shane Morris (Ochre), Wellengärtner (Mechanics Of Mind), Mutagenese (Voices), Alan Elettronico (Electric Mind (Deluxe Edition)), Shane Beck & Gottfried Bonn (Moon Goddess).

 

Strings well attached

Episode 695

Right, it's only one month now and many of you guys will celebrate christmas. But there is more such celebrations around the corner, like Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, and surely more. And, no, I am not giving you early season's songs. On the contrary, we will go quite progressive and partially rocky tonight. I might do a festive show, though, right on December 22nd. Several such tracks came in lately, and I am aware of at least one new album to come with related music. I am open to suggestions and submissions, of course. And by saying so, a disclaimer as follow up: there is no guarantee for podplay. Well, we will see what happens. But for tonight, I am going all in with excellent and cool tracks by Agitation Free (Momentum), Passage (Oblique), Gingerbass (Lake City Kid), Bernhard Wöstheinrich (B-Dubs), Hildegard von Binge Drinking (Echo der Delfine), The Dead Robotz (Electric Mangrove), Simon Langdon and Polytunnel (Attack Release Volume One), Phono Input (Sidereus Nuncius).

 

Unbusy your brain

Episode 694

Do you have it that the job seems to eat your brain? Well, might depend on the job, of course. I sometimes do have such a feeling. Brainwork during day, an cannot stop thinking about topics and problems that are to address. Well, also keeps me up at night. Like drinking strong coffee in the evening. Do you have any hints on how to get down? One idea might be listening to great music. Like the ones you can listen to on this edition. Joine me for tracks by Tony Sieber (Ambient Guitar Tales), Anna B May (It's Not Just A Dream), Fibonacci Frequencies (Sequenced Space), Space Art (Personal Duty), Time Away & Elvya (Echoes of Maztica), David Young ft Clifford Carter (In the Stars), Erik Wøllo (Cloud of Strings), Adam Steinberg (The Four Elements - Air (Volume 2)), Ronald Van Deurzen (Night Walk), Bernd Scholl (The Winds of Autumn), Steve Orchard (Sharing Dreams), David Wright (Berlin. A Tribute Album for Mark Shreeve).

 

Colourful repetition

Episode 693

I'm all in for traditional EM in tonight's edition. Is it the sequencing giving me some serenity? It's often that repitive sounds let you sink into another state of mind. And I surely am in need for some change, as this week was quite stressful. Or is the memory of the good old golden EM times being awaken by this music? It definitely serves some good thoughts from back in the days, when this kind of music was still fresh and exciting to discover, for fans and musicians alike. Whatever the reason, join me for some great music tonight with tracks by Thaneco & DASK (Ships in the Sky), Sebastien Guerive (Obscure Clarity), Oscar Postma, Hyrn (Schallplatte 26), computerchemist (Green Twilight), P'cock (The IC Years), ['ramp] (Arp-en-ciel).

 

No trick, only treats

Episode 692

I am not sure, where you celebrate Halloween these days. Actually, here it is a religious holiday. Nevertheless, it has become tradition already for children to run around in strange dresses and collect sweets. Well, not on my door. And I don't think they would like to collect fruits or vegetables. But ok, if they have fun going for it, I don't mind. A good invention these days is tracking of delivery, so you know it's not a bunch of children at the door but the delivery guy with your parcel or pizza. Wouldn't want to miss them. Well, no Halloween music tonight, but we stomp a bit with the tracks by Jong (Venus), Elysian Underground (A Retro Futuristic Collage), Obscenity State and Femmepop (you are the fabric), Adrien d'Elzius (Silent Revolution), Synaptyx (The Sentinel), Ryota Saito ft Halted Instant (Gentiana Scabra), Ben Rama and Daäna & Brendan Lawless (100 Diamonds), Dardi ft Crennwiick (Addict).

 

Pick your chair

Episode 691

When I was younger, vacation always was some kind of exploration. Checking out foreign landscapes. Taking sightseeing tours on an island. And, most important, enjoying all kinds of food from various origins. Well. Nowadays, only the last one remained. Otherwise it's more about relaxing, chilling, and finding some peace of mind in beautiful landscapes not far away. Am I getting old? Sure. Longings shift, my eyes have seen quite an amount of things. No need to travel as far and as much anymore. Less speed and more food.. err... serenity, I mean. Hence, off we go with a bit slower music tonight. Having tracks by Chronotope Project (Chronology), Bart Hawkins (Nonlinear Crossroads), Blue Is Nine (Drifting Through the Night), Divine Matrix (Bioluminescence), Ambiente Solstice ft Sean O'Bryan Smith and Dave Luxton (Out of The Void), Colin Rayment (Schallplatte 26: Architektur), DASK Music (Node Machina (2023)), Matt Goodluck (Inner Cosmos), Ceramic (Now That You're Here), and Time Away (Dragon Priests).
