I’m not here to tell you how messed up the world is right now on many fronts. It’s a difficult time in history to find any rays of light, but hopefully I can offer some solace from the real world if only for a short time. Put on your headphones, take a walk and let your mind float with the music.

Air Formation “You Have To Go Somewhere” – from 2007’s Daylight Storms

Epic45 “Among Ruins” – off their latest We Were Never Here

Magic Castles “Asuras” – a track from the forthcoming release Sun Reign

Halftribe “We Are Dust” – from 2020’s Archipelago on the Sound In Silence label

All In The Golden Afternoon “Say Goodbye”- pulled from a recently release collection of outtakes called Lucite Vision

Kosmischer Läufer “Der Leuchtturn am Ende der Zeit” – This journey ends at the lighthouse at the end of time…

My Favorites of 2018

As we make another trip around the wheel of life, let me take a moment to look back at some of the releases that made the year a little more bearable. Drumroll please (rimshot where necessary)…

Landing – Bells In New Towns

Ulrika Spacek – Suggestive Listening EP
Probably my favorite new band of the moment – hoping for another full-length in the near future
My Autumn Empire – Oh, Leaking Universe
The Asteroid #4 – Collide
Spiritualized – And Nothing Hurt
Air Formation – Near Miss
Adrien75 – The Deep State
Although Mr. 75 has released several albums last year, this is my fave of the bunch
The Advisory Circle – Ways Of Seeing
Chatham Rise – Meadowsweet
Lazy Salon – Boot Magna
A Year In The Country – The Quietened Mechanisms (Various)
Lowtide – Southern Mind
I Am Robot And Proud – Lucky Static
Swartz Et – A Living Thing
