EXPANDIZONS episode 29 features 11 chilled tracks, including two artists in a compilation from an Indonesian netlabel called oneLoop. We start out with a dreamy track from Asturiaz called “Can’t Sleep,” which somehow reminds me of Sigur Rós, and that’s a good thing. Track 3 is from another Indonesian artist on that compilation. His name is Wu:m, and the track is “Neo,” which begins very chilled out, but introduces an undercurrent of tension and dissonance near the end.

Klangstein joins us in this episode with a gorgeous track called “Ganz Leise,” featuring the vocals of Sylvia Gerlach. Klangstein is with the German label 1cc Records, which has a number of wonderful chillout artists, and he also has a website where you can learn more about him.http://expandizons.com/podcasts/archives/96

Mr. Moods is back from Canada with another nice track from his album “In Love We Trust…and Hate,” from the DirtyBird Rexx netlabel. You heard Mr. Moods in episode 19.

And San Francisco’s PolyGroovers are back again with another great track from their album, “Moods for Take Out.” You can buy it from iTunes. You heard the PolyGroovers in episode 17, the San Francisco episode.

Next…who can resist Lovespirals? Thanks to the podsafe music network, I got my hands on this wonderful remix of the Lovespirals’ “Motherless Child,” by Karmacoda. They’ve also have been in this podcast before. The track is from a Lovespirals EP called — what else? — “Motherless Child EP,” which you can buy from iTunes.

Two Loons for Tea are back in this episode with another memorable track (“Consuela”) from their album, “Nine Lucid Dreams” (Sarathan Records), which you can buy on iTunes.

For the first time, we’ve got a Sunburn in Cyprus track in “Expand Your Musical Horizons.” This track, “In the Sunshine (après beach mix)” is through the Podsafe Music Network. But you can buy more of their music from iTunes.

Next, we have Serakina from Switzerland with the relaxing track “Weekend’s End,” which I got from jamendo.com. I recommend that you buy it from CDBaby.com to give him your support.

Track 9 was a fun, deep groove from Solaris Musici (USA) with “Cloud 9,” an excerpt of a longer track. Check out his MySpace page, too, for news of when his music will be available for sale and for info on his live performances.

And finally, we have another lovely track from Electrix, who’s been on this podcast a few times before. Please give him your support by buying his “On the Rhodes” album from iTunes.

That’s it for this episode! We have another really great one already lined up for June 2008.
