Episode 390

Hypnagogue4 Comments

You know how this goes: you set aside 90 minutes and hope to enjoy the best ambient, electronic, and contemporary instrumental music. Good news: you get a bit of all of that here, including tracks from a couple albums I had good things to say about on social media.

After an episode with just a handful (literally) of tracks, let me toss a bit more than a dozen at you this time around. As a bonus treat, I mangle some Italian, reference Nikki Minaj, put you on hold at least once, and may or may not speak two words of Galician. If you’re new here…heh.

*This is a streaming-only release. As a general rule, I don’t link to said streams because of the way they treat artists. Although this artist has made the choice to not have the album available for download or purchase, I’m sticking to my guns here. The link in the playlist points to his website, from which you can decide how to proceed if the music interests you.

A lazy podcast, but with a purpose! I saw that in adding to my “Tracks to Play” doc I had noted several that were fairly long. So I decided to lump them together. There are only five, and as tends to be the case with long tracks, this episode runs pretty quiet.

The first half skews electronic; then we tack around and set a course for acoustic/New Age territory. Seventeen big cuts for your aural consumption.

Episode 1…again

Just a little birthday surprise I probably should have saved for a landmark birthday (or done back at the 10th birthday…). Thanks to the Endless Giant Spreadsheet of Goodness I was able to recreate the flow of the very first episode for you. I assume it wasn’t an uninterrupted show back then, but now it is. And finally, the few completionists out there among you can have it all! Enjoy, and thank you for listening.

Wrapping up year 14 with another big dive into the library. Help yourself to a pair of hour-long sets for this birthday bash–and to be honest, I’d need a lot more time to even remotely do justice to the amount of amazing music I’ve been sent and played over the years. I hope you’ll enjoy what I’ve pulled together. And thank you, as always, for listening.

’round about midstream, this flow decided it might like to be at least a little lazy. Pulled up at eight nice, deep tracks and we keep things mostly on the quiet side. Probably for the best since we’ve got a big party coming soon…
