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).
An episode I just needed after that week: quiet, relaxing, but not too slow so one falls asleep. And all the tracks come from recent album of 2011, showing again a small excerpt from all the cool new albums released this year. Would be great if you take the time and join me with tracks by Anima Infinity, Desa Systems, Devine Matrix, David Helpling & Jon Jenkins, Johan Agebjörn, and Robert Fox.
I endorse the times, when I come to rest and simply switch my mind into relaxation mode. Of coure, one never is alone and without thoughts, but hey. A nice companion are the sounds of the environment and surely ambient music. Tonight, I am delighted to have some very still tracks, well, occasionally disturbed by my voice, but I hope not too often. So I hope you can rest as well with music Apollonius & 33 Tetragammon, Nadim Haque, Spheruleus, and Stellardrone.
Currently, lots of fresh releases pop up, and tonight I have three of those on my show, two of them being published right this weekend when you have the chance to listen to this podcast for the first time. And it's quite terrific material as well. So I invite you to take an electronic and progressive ride on this episode to enjoy tracks by Nattefrost, Picture Palace music, and Weldroid.
New releases everywhere. Tonight, some not-so-traditional electronic music albums, which jumped into my ear and kept stuck long enough to make it on this episode. I'm really sorry to only have 30 minutes for tonight's show, but these are the rules wrt. the licenses I own. It's quite a mix of styles again, and I hope you enjoy the tracks as much as I did and do. On this show, you'll get to hear Antendex, Aruom, Complexystems, Ian Boddy & Parallel Worlds, Jazzcomputer.org and RamsayGee.
When reading about the earthquakes in Japan and the terrible effects, I did not really know what to do wrt. syndae podcast. It's always a bit difficult to handle such situations. Now I have the chance to not only express my sorrows about the incidents and sympathy for all the people in Japan, but make you aware of a project supporting the red cross's work over there. It's a benefit compilation with great music, so it's not only benefitiary for the red cross but also for anybody ordering a copy of this double album. Representatively, I present 8 of 27 tracks of the album "Electronic music for life" by Glenn, Harald Nies, MaEasy, moonbooter, René Splinter, Spyra & Roksana, Uwe Reckzeh, and Visible Breath.
