Episode 349
February 03, 2022 11:06 - 84.1 MBLet’s start with another of those artists I downloaded and lost in the mix, only to have them pop up in shuffle to show me the error of my ways. (Trust me, there will be more…) Electronic landscapes give way to a touch of grimness as we move toward the end, but we’ll get kind […]
Episode 348
January 20, 2022 11:06 - 85.6 MBNo explanation needed for this ninety-minute non-stop. Just good sounds, soft flows, and a space to spend time in. Start The Green Kingdom, Arc, Solaria7.47 Off Land, Mind Stream, Excursion15.37 SineRider, Emanant, A Familiar Light19.42 Dionisaf, Walk on the Roof, Lost Rarities26.21 Max Corbacho, […]
Episode 347
January 06, 2022 11:06 - 82.3 MBComing to you live from the depths of the holding tank, it’s the first episode of 2022! We’ll open up in contemporary instrumental territory, out there on the New Age border, then slip through a narrow passage of drone and into electronic realms. Off we go! Start Raphael Groten, Care, Potential8.06 […]
Episode 346
December 23, 2021 11:06 - 83.9 MBLast show of 2021. While other folks are doing their best of lists or holiday-themed shows, you and I are just going to dig into some good cuts from the library and enjoy the ride. Thanks in advance for being a great audience, and I wish you the best in the year to come! Start […]
Episode 345
December 09, 2021 11:06 - 85.8 MBAs you may know, I listen to virtually no music other than that which is sent along for the podcast. True story. And as I Iisten, I keep a list of tracks that catch my ear and make me want to share them with you. Well, the list was getting long so I decided it’s […]
Episode 344
November 25, 2021 11:06 - 210 MBIt’s lazy podcast time again, like I said last episode. A half-dozen deep dives on this non-stop ride. Enjoy. Start Mark Seelig, Rain Meditation, The Disciple’s Meditation17.29 Alpha Wave Movement, Timeless Starfields, Infinite Realms29.07 Steve Brand, Abandoned (excerpt), Abandoned52.20 Ivano Pecorini, I Have Never Realized It Was You (excerpt), I […]
Episode 343
November 11, 2021 11:06 - 84.7 MBThings were getting a bit dusty in the Newish queue. Some albums had been sitting there, waiting their turn, for far too long, and were probably getting a little angry that some newer releases were getting their turn ahead of them. So I decided to step in and finish out the queue. Got quite a […]
Episode 342
October 28, 2021 10:06 - 90.7 MBIt’s like a tale of two podcasts…we start this ride firmly in New age/contemporary instrumental territory. At the midpoint we’ll pause to fuel the engines and strap on some wings and then we’re taking off–at high velocity–to parts unknown. Start Will Ackerman, Jeff Oster & Tom Eaton, Three Trees, Brothers5.44 Bruno […]
Episode 341
October 14, 2021 10:06 - 91.2 MBThe math in a collaborative effort is pretty simple. Artist A + Artist B = good stuff. So for the second time (the first being over 100 episodes ago) we’re going to do an “ampersand episode” and dive into some tasty musical alchemy of two artists coming together, beginning with a much-anticipated release. Start […]
Episode 340
September 30, 2021 10:06 - 86.6 MBGetting back into the groove after taking some time away to let my backlog of episodes catch up with me. We’ll kick off in uptempo territory, but trust me–this one turns into a smooth glide before the 90’s up. Enjoy. Start Brian Wenckebach, Shorty’s Rosa, A Morning, A Life4.47 Alan Elettronico, […]
Episode 339
September 16, 2021 10:06 - 85 MBLet us fling wide the doors to the library and see what we can pull off the stacks. As I’ll note at the start, sometimes when you go wandering among the shelves you find things you put there a while ago and then forgot about. Let’s pretend that it’s all about the joy of discovery, […]
Episode 338
September 02, 2021 10:06 - 83 MBI took one more listen to this episode about a week before its release and to be honest I caught myself drifting away in its deeper stretches. Don’t let the quirky start fool you–that’s just there to lull you into auditory submission so these tracks can wrap around your head and take you elsewhere for […]
Episode 337
August 19, 2021 10:07 - 85.8 MBYou may not realize this, but it’s not always easy to write this little introductory note for each show. I mean, how many ways can I find to say, “Here’s another batch of music that really caught my ear–you have to hear it!” Because that’s what we’re doing again…hanging out to listen to the good […]
Episode 336
August 05, 2021 10:06 - 84.2 MBFor this one we’re going to start with piano and end with piano, but in between we’ll visit a whole bunch of musical spots. Many flavors to enjoy, some of them dark (and delicious!). So it’s like a music sandwich with pianos instead of bread. Hungry? Dig in! Start Ronald van Deurzen, Autumn […]
Episode 335
July 22, 2021 10:06 - 87.9 MBBehold, the joy of the compilation album. A mixed bag of treats, usually wrapped around a theme but sometimes not, a gaggle of musical delights to sample, an organized tangle of styles, interpretations, and inspirations. Hmm…sounds a lot like a certain podcast I know. Come on inside. Start Sam Rosenthal & Projekt Artists, […]
Episode 334
July 08, 2021 10:06 - 84.1 MBThis one, I won’t even try to categorize. One track kicks it off, and the next grabs a thread and comes along for the ride, trailing an idea that the next track latches onto, which informs and influences the song that comes next and …You get it. We’re diving into the flow and following the […]
Episode 333
June 24, 2021 10:06 - 87.1 MBHaving resisted the urge to do a 3-themed show, I instead decided to kick us off with a number of tracks in the what you call your New Age kinda sorta category. Lots of piano…which I’ll mention. When the urge passes we’ll head into somewhat driftier and less piano-y zones. It’s all good, if I […]
Episode 332
June 09, 2021 10:35 - 113 MBWrapping up year 12 with an extended episode. As always, thank you all very much for tuning in to this little hobby of mine and for putting up with my quirks and lack of genre-appropriate seriousness. Now it’s time to pour the drinks and cut some cake and get this birthday party started! Start […]
Episode 331
May 27, 2021 10:06 - 83.6 MBLet’s fire this one up. There’s electronic music galore, an old favorite returns (without whom this whole Hypnagogue thing might not have happened–we’ll get to that), and I crack myself up because sometimes me are not goodest with words. Why leave it in? Because we ain’t like them fancy podcasts… Start Volker Lankow, Ein […]
Episode 330
May 13, 2021 10:06 - 84.4 MBSo many places to go, and only 90 minutes to get there. Good thing you bought a first-class ticket. Get comfy. Drinks will be served shortly. Start Craig Padilla & Marvin Allen, Fractured Illuminations, Strange Gravity9.25 Ananta Govinda, Onto the Timelessness, Mirror of Desire14.21 Loren Nerell, Hare Drum, The […]
Episode 329
April 29, 2021 10:06 - 80.3 MBWho’s responsible for this flow going so deep? Well, Max Corbacho is up first so maybe that set the tone and we just, you know, went from there. Personally, I’d blame the guy who sat down and put this together. He clearly just wanted you to float for a while. A good long while. Enjoy […]
Episode 328
April 15, 2021 10:06 - 81.3 MBI would say this one starts at the border of neo-classical and electronic. Plenty of acoustic influence. But you know how it goes around here…we don’t necessarily stay in one place for too long. When the beat hits, the mood shifts. Start Gregory Allison, ((iv)), ((livestream 1))15.21 Harriet Riley & Alex Garden, […]
Episode 327
April 01, 2021 10:06 - 83.1 MBHeavy bass and a touch of funk get this episode started. We’ll cool our jets after a bit and wind our way down to a subtle finish. Start Schnellertollermeier, Before and After, 510.50 Becko, Cyberfriend, Inner Self14.10 Stefania Avolio, Blizzard, Natural Element18.03 Dave Bessell & Parallel Worlds, Dream Creator, Phosphenes26.09 […]
Episode 326
March 18, 2021 10:06 - 81.7 MBIf I may be so bold as to say so myself, this is one of those episodes that, I feel, exemplifies what makes this show different from many others. There is a range of soundworlds on display here, light and dark, sacred and secular, each unique but for subtle sonic connections that helped guide me […]
Episode 325
March 04, 2021 11:06 - 81.8 MBAnother uninterrupted flow comes your way as, more and more, your host find he has less and less to say. Enjoy the ride. Start Bodhi, Surrounding Mountains, Deep Dream7.06 James Marienthal, Speak to the Sky, Speak to the Sky13.15 Vieo Abiungo, Empty Heroics, At Once, There Was No Horizon23.15 […]
Episode 324
February 18, 2021 11:06 - 207 MBTaking a deep dive into the library before we spend our upcoming episodes focusing solely on the newer stuff. Let’s see what we discover and how deep we can go. (Hint: pretty deep.) Start Between Interval, Fields of Neptune, Legacy5.04 Das Rad, Tenser, 75CD11.30 Mint Field, Natural, Sentimiento Mundial16.30 […]
Episode 323
February 04, 2021 11:06 - 83.4 MBLet’s start in an experimental space, explore some drone textures, and see where it takes us from there.

January 21, 2021 11:06 - 86.8 MBThis 90-minute glide will be good for soothing your soul, and should also pump a little energy into your groove centers. Enjoy.

Episode 321
January 07, 2021 11:06 - 77.9 MBLet’s move into the new year with some new (more or less) music. There’s a spot about a half-hour in where I hand it all off to some piano players for a bit. They seem like nice people. The last 45 or so is a nice, deep drift that will send you places. Start […]

Episode 310
August 06, 2020 10:06 - 89.6 MBThis episode does two things. One, it weaves it way between the Newish queue and the library–and by that I mean, track by track. And two, it goes all over the dang place, musically speaking. Buckle up. It’s a pretty wild ride, and I’m not getting in the way. We’ll talk in 90. Download Start […]
Episode 309
July 23, 2020 10:06 - 82.6 MBGoodness me, would you look at the size of that playlist? To be honest, a lot of it is from our Spotlight on Neuro…No Neuro, who kind of specializes in quick hits. And to either side of the Spot, lots of sweet ‘n juicy cuts for your ears. Enjoy. Start Al Gromer Khan, […]
Episode 308
July 09, 2020 10:06 - 83.5 MBThis non-stop glide melts its way from the Newish queue into the library. I confess to latching onto some analog grooves for a while in the second half. Can’t help myself. Download Start Fabio R Lattuca, Stay Down Below, Till This Blow Over, Matter7.18 Micah Pick, You Know When You Hear […]
Episode 307
June 25, 2020 10:06 - 87.1 MBRhythm, a word I just had to type five times to spell it correctly, kicks off this episode. In the soft, pillowy center we’ll coast along with Mr Tom Eaton. The last stretch curves over toward neo-classical land a bit. Hang on. Download Start Charm Days, Second Naivete, A Firefly Out Of Season3.44 […]
Episode 306
June 18, 2020 10:06I say this absolutely without reservation: this is one of the deepest flows I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting together. Listening to this–something I’ve done several times now–has a genuinely profound and moving effect on me, and I owe that solely to these superb artists. I hope this episode brings you to a deep […]
Episode 305

In the last set, we welcome back some names who’ve been away… Download Start Nicholas Gunn, Chasing The Light, Pacific Blue5.11 Paul Speer, Venus Rising, Sonoran Odyssey10.36 King Moot, Kalm Heart, […]
Episode 304
June 04, 2020 10:06Sometimes you just need to drift a while. We’ll kick off doing exactly that, then very gently ease the throttle upward. I think you’re going to like how this one ends. (No, not the bit where I get talky…just the stuff before that.) We’ve got peace…and we’ve got power. Download Start Blear Moon, […]
Episode 303
May 28, 2020 10:06From a deep world-music groove to get things started, we’ll course through some shadowy spots, spend 30 minutes with Robert Scott Thompson, then find our way eventually to some jazz influences and modern classical. Quite a mix, gotta say. It’s just how we do. Download Start Chouk Bwa & The Angstromers, Negriye, Voudou […]
Episode 302
May 21, 2020 10:06Hold on, we’re heading into theme territory. Take a quick glance at the playlist–or, hey, just listen to the first 30 seconds of the show–and you’ll have the theme firmly in hand.

May 14, 2020 10:06“John,” they said to me, “how will you possibly follow up your 300th show?” I gave them a sly smile, and as I turned to go said, over my shoulder, “With the 301st.” True story. Settle in. This 90’s got new and library tracks, and we settle in for 30 minutes with Michelle Qureshi. Download […]
Episode 300
