Hypnagogue Podcast

Gads, I’ve been locked out of my studio and the curator of the Hypnagogue sound library has taken over the show! Well, enjoy anyway.

How shall we start the new year? How about with some music? Figured that might be a good idea. This is an uninterrupted flow, but has both the new stuff and the library jams. Enjoy, and welcome to 2016! Download mp3. Start     Carey Moore, John Donelson’s Ghost, John Donelson’s Ghost 6.18       Robert Scott Thompson, Lunar […]

This year’s look back at reviewed albums clocks in at two hours. I received so much amazing music in 2015 (and late 2014, honestly) that there was no way this was going to come in at our regular 90 minutes. Enjoy, and thank you so very much for being a listener. Download mp3. Start      Jeff […]

While the first half of this episode dwells mostly in well-lighted places, the second half will dip into darker venues. You can handle that, right?

Compilation albums. I don’t review them, but I receive them. And I like them. As much as I enjoy settling in with a big, album-length dose of one artist, I also like the tasty variety pack that is the compilation. Great way to discover artists who’ve never sent work to me for review. This episode […]

One of my favorite song titles of all time is Lopside’s closing track from 37, “Titling Instrumental Tracks Seems Ridiculous.” Sometimes I feel that way about writing yet another intro to a fine set of music. I will tell you that much of the second set came about in one of those evenings when I caught […]

After a couple instances of deviating from course, with this episode we get back into the cadence where we begin the show with new-ish music then go a’delving in all the good stuff in the library. This time around, even the less-new music turns up a pair of artists who’ve never been played here before! […]

Next time, the host promised, we’ll get back to the format where half the show is new music and the rest digs into the library. But once I got going with the new music on this one, well, I just couldn’t stop myself. Raise your hand if you’d like to complain about hearing all new […]

So much music, so little time. Because this podcast focuses on music that is sent to Hypnagogue for review, and because so much music is sent for review, appearances here tend to be fleeting. There are a lot of artists who’ve only appeared once on the show, and it’s not for lack of quality. So […]

We start with a track that made me smile, and it just flows from there. By the time we reach the end, things will quiet down a bit. Download mp3.

A show that came together in two straight-through sessions of flow creation. Went pretty deep into the library for this one—had to convert some tracks that I hadn’t played before but have held onto for a while. PLUS, this episode contains the show’s 2000th track! You’ll find out which at the end! And to my […]

When I started this episode, it was going to be one where we stop in the middle, between the new and old sections, like we have been. But from the Chords of Orion track on, the show fell into a deep flow that I didn’t feel like interrupting. So away we go. Sorry about the […]

Gotta love it when a good flow comes together. Or two good flows, for that matter. These two sets, so rudely interrupted by the talky guy in the middle, both find their own distinct groove. At the end, we close with a track from a legend who recently left us. Download mp3. Start      Dead Melodies, […]

The playlist is short because the songs are long. But we end up spending a little extra time together. Download mp3.

As you’ll hear, sometimes the music tells you exactly where to take a break on these shows. The first set is short, but it’s good and deep, and the long second set is even more so. Download mp3.
