Seems I must have been in a fairly quiet mood as I brought this episode together. Long drifting passages in here, with just enough (slightly/comparatively) uptempo moments to keep you from dozing off completely. (I’ll nudge you halfway through with some talky bits, then let you get back to listening.) Download mp3. Start The […]
Come on, let’s celebrate turning six. Or seven, or whatever. (Remember? Not good with the birthday math.) The stage is set, the acts are lined up and ready to perform! Download mp3. Start Sensitive Chaos, Psychic Twins of Gemini, Seeker After Patterns 5.44 Tim Story, Monkey Builderizer, Buzzle 9.35 […]
This ep starts with a short set of music from the review queue. It’s not that there wasn’t much music, it’s that the first flow ends right where it needs to. From there I’ll feed you a bit of proggy fury, dip you into the depths, and bring you back around quite nicely, I’d say. […]
We continue with our blend of new and old, with the old coming first this time out. I pulled out a couple of names I hadn’t heard in a while, got back to a compilation I think you should know about, and then swished around in the barrel of new releases to pull out some […]
From heavy electronics to the clean sound of solo piano, from the rich resonance of voice to the smooth tone of the Chapman stick, on this episode we’re going a little bit of everywhere. Download mp3. Start Hollan Holmes, Letting Go, Incandescent 7.31 Imi Fal, The Lightest Touch, The Lightest Touch 13.01 The Lonely Bell, […]
We’ll escape to place where lillies bloom and Elvis sightings are common through brilliant clouds thanks to the surface gravity. But it’s no mystery that our someday will come and we’ll be lifted out of victimization, climbing from our holes and waving our tendrils smartly. Okay, enough of me trying to be clever. On to the music. […]
We’ve got a lot of music to get through this time, so let’s get started. This one’s all over the place. You’ll groove, you’ll drift, you’ll get all pensive, you’ll thank me later. Download mp3. Start Steve Roach, Byron Metcalf & Rob Thomas, Primal Analog, Monuments of Ecstasy 9.35 Michel Banabila, The […]
Have I really made it to the 150-show mark? Hmm. I should play some music to celebrate. Download as mp3. Start Chris Russell, Cathedral, Illuminoid 7.00 Disturbed Earth, Boutique, Black Picnic 15.42 Terra Sancta, Kingdom of Dust, Exile 23.26 Unearthly Red, Dead, Purgatory 27.45 […]
Am I really going to start the new year by putting up a show with a silly, obvious theme? Yes. Yes, I am. Download as mp3. Start Cyberchump, New Skin, Our Wizards of Earth 4.49 Leaving Richmond, New Machinery, The Bird and the Submarine 8.39 Planet Boelex, New […]
So 2014 was an odd year here at Hypnagogue HQ. The doors were closed to new review submissions in March, but there was more than enough in the backlog to keep me writing–and playing new stuff in podcasts–well through the year. In this episode we’ll take a listen to tracks from some of the albums that […]
From a typical starting point of walking into my office and hearing an interesting cut playing, I decided to tap the “next” button on my player and see what shuffled up next. That accounts for the first few tracks of this flow. After that, it’s all me finding the next perfect piece in the flow. […]
First, I decided it was time to do another tribal-themed episode–because, I may have mentioned in passing, this is my hands-down favorite subgenre. Then, after tracking out the first half hour with Byron Metcalf, Mark Seelig, Steve Roach and Jorge Reyes on tracks one and two, I got into a long-form vibe. So you get […]
Well, happy birthday to me! The podcast starts its sixth year in production with three sets of some hand-picked favorites. As always, pulling a dozen “favorites” out of a library of nearly 10,000 tracks isn’t easy. I hope you enjoy the ride, even if I am a bit overly talky in this one. (No interruptions […]
It’s all music from the review pile this time out, and we’ll shift from pulsing beats to quiet piano ruminations to ambient spaces. You know, the usual pleasant voyage. Download as mp3. Elise Mélinand: Sur L’Ocean, Grey Hoodie 5.24 Paragaté: Generation of the Thoroughly Smug, Pattern of Light 8.35 Nuclear […]
Here’s the recipe for this one: melt one-third easy beats into two-thirds deep ambient cruise. Chill 90 minutes and enjoy.
