EXPANDIZONS – episode 10
Originally broadcast July, 2007
Who can resist the sophisticated eastern flavor of the opening track from Koan? If you’re a fan of psybient music, you probably already know them from compilations like “Floating Point” [Sofa Beats records]. But thanks to the netlabel Sun Station and to a Creative Commons license, they’re here in episode 10 for your listening pleasure.
Following Koan is the amazing Confused Man—also known as Dirk Beppelring—from Germany’s netlabel Sofasound. Then, Kadang is back again with another track. He was featured in my Eastern Europe episode.
Many thanks to Playup Music for contacting me on behalf of the Winston Giles Orchestra. I hope all of you enjoy their track (“Theme from Burning Winchesters”) as much as I do. I first heard them on the XtraChill podcast. And thanks, too, to Redzone, the amazing first and Second Life digital artists who have a track here.
Following them is even more aural pleasure: Calm Be from Germany’s Sofasound netlabel, Phundamental from the very cool Phonocake netlabel (thanks, Sven!), Sumergido from the Yuki Yaki netlabel, Aligning Minds from the Aerotone netlabel, and finally, Effect Unit (also known as Marcell Marias) —thanks to the Podsafe Music Network.
As always, please give your support to independent musicians and netlabels!
