melancholy

I didn't pick songs that put me in a melancholic mood, but rather songs (or songs from releases that I admire) that represent periods in my life.

I wanted to pick some of my favorite (very difficult task!) songs for my first mix. I can definitely say that BETWEEN INTERVAL's Autumn Continent is in my top 3 for ambient releases.

So it had to be the first song. The entire CD is very solid from the first sweeping entrance to the last dying ember of drone. I have to say that PAUL AVGERINOS' Words Touch is an absolute must-have for those who like a thinking man's ambient. Paul is a more of a composer than the average brick-on-keyboard noodler, and Words Touch (along with Love, which can be a perfect sequel) is rather deep. I have an MP3 disc player that has played both of these releases every night for years now (in my son's room as well). The next song, I Shall Be Removed from KEN (I don't have much information on this artist) is something that I discovered from sifting through people's suggestions for ambient music. Oddly, the rest of the artist's music is indie rock.

#19 by APHEX TWIN is a bit of departure for this artist, although he has released a couple of ambient works. I made a mix for a friend, who had never heard of APHEX TWIN, and he loved it. I then sent him a link to the videos WINDOWLICKER, COME TO DADDY, and RUBBER JOHNNY. Kind of blew his mind. The last song is a great one from WILLIAM BASINSKI. I love what he did with loops, he is a pioneer of sonic decay. Hopefully, these songs will lift you up, and ease anything that weighs you down.

Turn on, tune in, sleep...

welcome

Hello and welcome to Spaceman's Transmissions. In reviewing the ambient that I possess, I hope that you find solitude, peace, and relaxation. I encourage you all to support ambient artists, and if you enjoy what I have played, be sure to seek them out and purchase their music. It keeps them doing what you and I love. Thanks to these sites for inspiring me to make my own ambient mixes: HYDROGEN CAFE (no longer active, but you can still nab some great mixes), LOW LIGHT MIXES (my favorite), and The Quiet Sounds (Asphalt Eden). Props to BLUEMARS and SLEEPBOT ENVIRONMENTAL BROADCAST for quenching my ambient musical thirst via streams.
