• 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).

     

Vibrations in steel

Episode 205

Back from a short wild trip to New York City, and I think tonight's choice in music somewhat reflects the mood of that place. A lively and narcissistic city that reaches out to the sky even when beaten down. Similar holds for the sounds of this show, I'd say. Music that seems to love itself, gets lost in the wild, but always well grounded. It all starts with electronic rock by Computerchemist and Zsolt Galántai's Signatures, which comes in two volumes. Followed by some nice referencing work by Uwe Cremer and Thomas Rydell with their Sirius Singularity. Entering a bit more drive and harshness with Pandacetamol's Crestfallen. It's Mythos then bringing us a peek of Surround Sound Evolution, although not surround on the show. And closing up with another track from the Signatures album.
