Time and again I go back to the style and sound that sparked my love for electronic music; that is back in the 1970s/1980s, the so called golden age for traditional EM. Back then, it was the greats like Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, Software, and others who gave me the thrills. I still enjoy their music, also the current songs they produce. But mostly it's the "younger" generation, I enjoy to have on the show nowadays. This edition is a mixture of both with older and newer blood in a mix. Join me for wonderful timeless sounds by F.D.Project (Look in the sky), Michael Stearns & Robert Rich (Reunion of Breath & Waves), Adam Filip (The Returning Circle), Peter Mergener (Keep on Dreaming), Michael Whalen (Standing Near Infinity), Deus Astra vs Time Away (Wheel of Time), Brainwork (Hypnos).
Being back with some more beats tonight, episode 59 gives you electronic music with lots of drive. Starting with a track from the new album by Stefan Erbe, followed by meaty tracks by Ashra, Martha Rabbit, trouby, and the Union Taste, and closing with chill out by Craig Padilla.
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.
It's christmas time ... well, not yet, although one could think so, seeing all the Lebkuchen and sweets in the stores. Ok, so it's 3 month ahead, but time to start thinking of syndae christmas 2009. Aside that, episode 55 gives you some really nice treats on ambient and relaxing music tonight. A show to take your time and dive into your mind. Tracks on the show by Bluejooz, Modulator ESP, Picture Palace Music, Robert Fox, Tony Gerber, usr/sbin, and UtopiaXO.
On tonight's show, a musical retrospect on the Electronic Circus. With brilliant music by festival and visiting artists. Enjoy fine tracks by David Wright & Ian Boddy, Erik Wøllo & Bernhard Wöstheinrich, Meesha, Michael Shipway, Ron Boots, and Uwe Reckzeh. And me talking quite a lot ... ;)
