Taking our leave of 2023, we do so in a manner most casual, stretching out, biding our time, meandering as one does, unrushed and–oh, who am I kidding? We’re getting lazy for the last show of the year, airing out some longer cuts that have been tucked into the Tracks to Play list for a while. Get comfy. This is a very deep non-stop ride. Thanks for coming along on the journey this year, whether you’re new around these parts or you’ve been here long enough to hear the hold music more than once. You are appreciated.

A storm of fiery guitar kicks this one off, pulling bits of New Age and electronic music in its wake. Then we get comfy in the library, greeted by some post-rock (with its own bits of fiery guitar), and hang out until, as often happens, we reach a nice, quiet close.
Oh, yeah, there’s also one of those…

Kicking off with some fun uptempo stuff, we’ll work our way across this 90-minute landscape to end up somewhere much quieter.

Get the children to safety in the bunker! There’s a theme show a’comin!
Yeah, it’s that time again. Mr. Shanahan gets a “clever idea” and runs with it. (And yes, this is the one I talked about on 393…) Look at it this way: you get 20 tracks of musical goodness out of it! Enjoy!

Half a dozen from the Holding Tanks before we take a lengthy dip into the library stacks. Second set goes a little bit of everywhere, and has one of those artists who just happens to nail both song AND album title of the episode! Enjoy the ride.

Might as well start off in contemporary instrumental/electroacoustic territory since I’ve been getting a lot of good stuff in that fits that bill. In the latter half it’s back into the library to revisit some friends.

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!

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.
