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).
Spanning a musical bridge from India to U.S.A., fantastic music to enjoy in a 30 minutes episode number 58. On the menu tonight are Alpha Wave Movement, Cadenced Haven, ideation, Jerome Froese, and one intoxicating track from Remy's just released album Exhibition of Dreams.
It's always a pleasure to say, another great EM festival is knocking at our doors: E-Live 2009 is coming up. In two weeks, in Oirschot (NL), we will be able to enjoy such great artists as Spyra, Pollard/Daniel/Booth, Stephan Whitlan, and Faralley on stage or in the Lounge, respectively. So tonight's show is a sneak preview on that event, having all acts except of Stephan, plus an exclusive premiere track from the new Synth.NL album, which will be released right at the festival, and the just released album by Create, who also will be in Oirschot with his own stall.
