Punk goes New Wave? Can it be New Wave without a synthesizer? Who knows? Ladies and Gentlemen, Suburban Lawns:

Gutted.



RIP, Mimi.

Too on the nose?

Thank you for including my work in your mix! It's an honor to be among such stellar company.

Found another gem, courtesy of Sounds of the Dawn (of course). Matthew Barlow's Sound Meditations:



They released this one on their label, so if you love it as much as I do you can buy it on Bandcamp.

Co-sign on the CS-80 props. Vangelis was to the CS-80 as Prince was to the Linn LM-1.

Although I am a fan of so many of his works, I find myself returning over and over to Opera Sauvage. There's something magical about the range he captured on that one. RIP Vangelis.

Thanks for the heads-up. I enjoyed Momentarily Summer very much so this will be a must-listen!

As for Enya, I like so much ...

Sky and Trails : Your enthusiasm is palpable! I'm glad to hear there are so many outlets for the kind of music that (very loosely sometimes) falls into this genre. No, I'm not familiar with any of the shows you mentioned, I'll have to go looking. Thanks for the recommendations!

A couple more all ...

bleak. : Thanks for the recommendations! I see you share my appreciation for Iasos , who is still out there making fantastic music. I receive his newsletter every so often and it is just as trippy as you would expect!

Imagine my gobsmacked joy when I stumbled across a flawless vinyl first pressing ...
