Episode 391

Okay, this one might start off a little strange, but we’re getting toward the bottom of the Holding Tanks and it’s getting time to reload ’em. Back half of this one is a trip to the library. You like the library, right? (There’s even one of those artists…) Off we go!

Episode 390

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.

Episode 389

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.

Episode 385

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 382

As you may know if you listened last time, there’s been an unusual amount of flute-based music coming into the tanks lately, so we will start things off there. A quick stop and then we’re off again, powered by some Berlin School-style energy and ending up with a whole bunch of bass guitar.

Episode 381

Holding Tanks 1 and 2 continue to drain even as I fill Tank 3, and the result is an interesting flow that weighs a bit heavily on the dark, quiet side. Some of this music has sat waiting for me to get to it for a year or so — but thankfully, good music doesn’t have an expiration date. Dig in and enjoy.
