HypnagogueLeave a comment

A spacey start brings us in time to New Age Valley and the border of Jazzville (actually kind of the corner of Jazzville and Classicaltown) before heading back into some deep realms. The end of the voyage glides back into a contemporary instrumental zone and a bit of piano for a quiet landing. Have fun.

Back in the 160’s I did an episode where I gave artists I’d only played once a chance to be heard again. Now, through the miracle of science and the power of random number generation, we’re doing it again. A second chance for the second chance show! Enjoy the mix.

Your enjoyment of the music time shall be undisturbed by your host insisting on speaking with you mid-flow. No, you’re on your own as this wends through drifty spots, familiar names and sounds, some grungy guitar, and…one of those.

A short set from the Holding Tanks kicks off the ride, with a lengthy excursion into some shadowy, cave-y spaces. A bit of convo and we’re off for a nice deep dive into the stacks…and maybe things briefly get kind of weird. But you’re used to that by now.

Settle in for a non-stop 90. It’s a bit all over the place, though mostly pretty sedate. I think you’ll probably be okay with it.

The ride this time opens with some New Age/contemporary instrumental style loveliness from the Holding Tanks, eventually finding its way into a territory lightly laced with a bit of funkiness because sometimes that’s how we roll. A talky bit, then it’s off to the cool comforts of the library where we start with a powerhouse combo of song and album titles. (Plus, the music’s good, too.)

I went a little crazy and decided to kick us off in the library. I know–wild, right? We’ll spin back into the Holding Tanks at the halfway point, but not before a listen to someone who’s definitely coming to us from the “How Did You End Up Here?” Department. (It’s a pretty cool one, honestly.)

Hiding in here we’ve got music inspired by a novel, music that started with a harp in a tree, and music used in a healing ceremony for a loved one. Do I have your attention?

I quite enjoyed digging around in the library in the previous episode, so I’ve decided to ride that train a little longer here. Eighteen luscious tracks, aided and abetted by the shuffle (but mindfully, mind you!). And you never know…there just might be one of those. Yeah, one. Sure. That’s what I meant.

Not much to say here other than it’s a 50/50 ride, with tracks in the back half going back to 2013. Although I do get to teach you what a ney is, so there’s that. Enjoy.
