What is it like for you opening a new music album? What are you expecting? Things, you already know? Elements of surprise? Back in my youth it definitely was the latter, buying LPs by the cover and description, not knowing, what discoveries were to be made. It's quite similar still today, as I listen to so many new artists and releases. And I am more than often positively suprised by what I get to hear. As I am with all the music on tonight's edition, of course. Join in and enjoy the music by Madis (Ocean Rain), Michael Whalen (Standing Near Infinity), Harald Nies (Strange Matter), Dieter Spears (String Dreams), Conny Olivetti (Rhythm Machine), Rodrigo Passannanti (Timeless Conceptions), Kothyus (Parajes), Stephenson (Once Upon a Time), Simon Heartfield (Light Fades and Light Returns), Time Away vs Talking to Ghosts (Our Steps in the Dance).
Having traditional electronic music on the show not necessarily means to have old sounds. Actually, what you will here from tonight's artists is obviously inspired by traditional styles but brought into the present times. Enjoy a show having French and Berlin sequencing and soundscapes all along, with tracks by Faber, Harald Nies, Jakub Fijak, Kebu, Mythos, and Soundwalker.
New releases are piling up at the moment, and I am very pleased to have quite a bunch of new ambient albums on my playlist tonight. Sometimes it's the quietness making me happy, and tonight we have more than 30 minutes of it. And you get it in a continuous mix as well, which contains marvelous tracks by Alio Die, Apollonious and 33 Tetragammon, Mark Mahony and M. Peck, Seetyca and Etheocles Stevens, Steve Roach, and Yara.
Looking at my calendar, it's looking really good on the matter of electronic music and concerts. Lots of nice events are blooming in spring, as are the shortly coming E-Day and a very special double concert in May, both in the Netherlands. So more than half of tonight's edition features music of those events' artists, and the remaining time we have nice recent releases from a well known formation and a new one, at least for airing on syndae. On this episode you will get tracks by Fratoroler, MorPheuSz, Picture Palace music, Remy, and Ron Boots.
Now that moving servers is done, back to fun! Of course, with a fresh edition of syndae, tonight with several brand new releases. It's happy easter time, so here come some really nice tracks, more on the happy and dancy side of the EM. Well, at least I enjoyed putting the show together, so I hope you will join me having joy when listening to the wonderful sounds of Kikai, René Splinter, Tornfly, Uwe Reckzeh, and Weldroid.
Very often, music says more than words. Tonight, this is the case for syndae, as there will be no moderation. A cold took my voice, and so you will get a continuous mix of tracks of more than 30 minutes. It's a mix of cool new releases as well as some new albums of earlier this year. We start off with a brand new disc by Andreas Baaden named "Slow Down", which will bring us "Above the Coulds of Jupiter". We claim that place "My New Somewhere", which is the following track by Patrick Geren from his brand new album "Slightly Night". Then we let Jakub Fijak bring us back "From the Depths", one of the short but intense tracks of his release "Around the Horizon". And if you experience that view to appear in "Indigo", you are with Sebastien Marchal's "Synesthesia". With a "Lichtspruch" by Stefan Erbe we enter "The Sounds of my Comfort'sone", just to feel the "Shepherd's Wind" from "Grimnir", brought to us by Olga Scotland and Kean Kaerede. Blown away, we make "Contact ith Base" in a "Symetric Dream" by Global Express OSC. And finally find "Das Versteck" in Level Pi's Dunkelstunde. I wish you a great weekend and a pleasant coming week. Take care and enjoy the show.
