Climb on! This one starts out getting its groove on, then heads into other places. Quieter, deeper places. Call it a downward glide in intensity.

This episode began, as many do, when the first track caught my ear one morning. The shuffle mode on iTunes helped me pick a few more. Then, mid-flow, I got word of the untimely death of Jeff Kowal, who recorded as Terra Ambient. The second half of the show features four great tracks from an […]
