• Holy sequencing

    It's been more than 20 years ago now that I've been living in Berlin. And while I seldom look or go back physically, maybe for a short visit now and then, I often do so in my mind. Especially, when listening to music from the Golden Age of EM, where many of the artists being in synthesized sounds "went" to its School. There are still several artists from the old guard out there, some still producing new music. But many of the space ambient style music nowadays comes from a younger folks. And their take on Berlin style sounds, while surely referencing the ideas of the past, are fresh and current and also timeless. Join me for a mental visit to Berlin with great music by NGC 224 (Mystic Forests), Novaexperiment (Quantum Pulse), Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen (Unfolding Skies), Joerg Dankert (Back to Berlin), Paul Ellis (Room Of The Lost One), IcingWolf (Crossroads), Ivan Black (Black 3), Small Chief (Zero Movement).

     

Cracking difficult times

Episode 796

Is it Spring already? Nope, not quite. But the longing for Spring is there. At least where I live. Less darkness, more colours, happier people. And nature seems to be in the waiting as well, as some early blossoms are already out there and birds are singing along nicely. So, while we are moving forward and are eager to leave winter season, I have some beautiful tunes for you on the playlist tonight. One might call it Easy Listening or New Age, but they all feature one common theme: they are georgous. Join me for a mere 60 minutes to enjoy wonderful tracks by Kellerkind Berlin (Well... it's Hope), Jim "Kimo" West & Michael Whalen (Two Shores), Sine (Closure), C37 (The reality is...), Ambient Ballroom (Silk Road Stations), Steen Chorchendorff Jorgensen (Within Gravity), Quiet Resonance (Pathways), Tom Bragl (Pielesh), The Bentley Project (Blossoming of Ancient Beauty), Jonny Lipford (Discover The Warrior Within), Matthias Lehmann (Autumn Rhapsody).
