Do you like walking by the sea? I'd say many humans do. Why? Well, let's ask ChatGPT, which says: "Humans are often drawn to walking by the sea due to a combination of factors, including the inherent beauty and tranquility of coastal environments and the numerous physical and psychological benefits associated with being near the ocean." So one main factor also is relaxation and stress relief. Well, do you always have a sea at hand? I definitely do not. But there we have Ambient music.

Summer is getting closer in the Northern Hemisphere. So hopefully there will be some sunny days, not too hot of course, but quite enough to collect some vitamin D. And it is always a nice view to have those golden sunbeams make the water sparkle and schimmer between the leafs of trees. Similarly, it is nice to take a look back at the golden ages of traditional electronic music and relish the sparkles of soundscaping and sequencing of that time. Well, time to open the jar and let in the experienced and fresh artists of this genre to make us happy with newly discovered and re-imagined past sound treats.

Ambient, Chill and now... Dance, of course. We are picking up more speed this week with some beats that may move your legs, if you want it or not. Well, we are not going full techno, but definitely dancable stuff. A quite sad closing though, as we lost one of the fun guys these days with Anfrando Maiola aka Koto. From his music I would conclude he would like you to live happily ever after and dance your name in the sand. Join in for beefier beats by Counterfly ft.

From still to chill. Chillout of course. Not that I am going to freeze over. Time to lean back on your canvas chair, put on the sunglasses and relish the sound of the sea. Or, well, imagine that when sitting on a wooden stool. Thing is, why jump start from Ambient to hardcore electronica? See? We don't. Quite a bunch of goodies on this edition that will just get you more relaxed but also energized for upcoming tasks.

Did you ever travel in a balloon? I'm not sure I would do it. Too afraid, I think. It's only some hot air that keeps one from crashing down. Lots of strings attached, but none of them will hold you up. And I think I am afraid of heights as well. Wasn't always that way, maybe it comes with the age? So, anyone, how is it to ride a balloon? Well, at least I would imagine it to be a smooth and calm ride.

The best way to find great music nowadays is to listen to online radio shows and podcasts. Like you are listening to syndae for the style of music you like, there are other excellent shows out there featuring similar styles in sound. Like the outstanding Electronic Fusion by Brainvoyager. Here you have Jos producing a two hour show of ambient and electronic music week for week for several years now. Last week he hit edition number 400. Time to celebrate with a special compilation put out by Legacy of Thought. And that's the music you will get tonight.

It's bandcamp day, my dear friends in waveforms. Quite a tradition that bandcamp introduced during Covid high-times to support the artists, so they said. Well, seems the idea paid well not only for the artists but for the company as well. However, it's definitely good for the artists to get all of the revenue and for listeners who can truely only support the artist and not the plaform. With the exception of one track, all the music from tonight's edition is available on bandcamp. So make use of the day and get yourself some nice treats. Also, check out the past editions of the show.

From hell to chill with this new edition. Yes, I thought it would be nice to relax from the devlish sound. And it's nice to relax for an hour as well, as this was a quite busy week again work-wise. And maybe, just maybe, getting a bit more into the Summer vibe will help with the weather, too? Ok, I doubt it as well, but one may hope, no? It's still around zero degrees here in midth of Spring. But let's get off this introduction and turn towards the great music on tonight's show.

This is it, the beasty number of a show. If you have religious believes or not, you will surely have heard of the number associated with the devil himself. Or herself. Who knows. The impersonation of the bad. Or is it? In this concept, the folly oversees and punishes all those who sinned according to some religious rules. Well, for me it is difficult to tell, whether there are people without such sins anyhow. But it definitely reflects that there always is good and bad people in the world. I'm in no position to judge, but it is beyond my logical reasoning, why human beings always have to fight about things or believes. Anyhow.
