Opaline - Memory Drain (constellation tatsu)

opaline is hunter from the us and a. he makes the new age music of today.......lame. but his music suuuure is not. great when you're staying up late and your tired of listening some lame jazz shit music and got that exam or whatever. or maybe you just wanna impress your date with some weirrrdoo music. and they'll be like, "hey whats this your playing?" and you'll be like "it's hunter jamming, he goes by the name opaline, isnt it great!" and the date be like "yeah, you got some bad ass taste in music, wanna hang out tomorrow aswell?" great story. link to date music goes here.

favourite track: memory drain! such a great arpeggiator track. its the track you'll turn on while dressing off while the moon is peering through the blinds

Fluorescent Heights - Relaxing In The New world (beer on the Rug)

another great one from fluorescent heights. released pretty recently on beer on the rug.... great ambient new age waves reminding a bit of dolphings into the future. weird layers of harmonics and drones taking us out on wild safaris on deep rivers. kind of. recomended. click click click.

Orphan Fairytale - Ladybird Labyrinth

It's been six long years since this LP was released back in 2009 on Antwerp (Belgium) label Ultra Eczema. It's been out of print for some time now but far too great to be forgotten.
This link will make you rediscover.

AND YES, here's a mature advice for you recording artists out there: Make sure your music is good enough to be released. There is just too many records and tapes being released today because of the urge of releasing rather than recording. But you know, only because its out doesnt mean it's good or even worth being released. Your music will be forgotten. Make it proper. It's worth the wait. Keep it up. Do it again. Quantity does not equal quality.

Oh I just noticed that Ducktails is releasing a new album this summer. it is called St Catherine.

About the artwork. The photo is from the Medici Chapel (Cappelle medicee) much of it sculptured by Michelangelo back in the 16th and 17th centuries. Read about it on wiki here.

Ducktails artwork looks as if it was taken from this photo here,

Black Joker - Europe Tour CDr [2009]

In 2009 Monopoly child star searcher aka black joker (olde english spelling bee, under water people) did a tour around europe. with the tour he brought with him a couple of CDRs slipped inside some very neat plastic pouches with a home made artwork. they we're sold at the shows. some of them who bought it decided to share it to more people than just the ones attending the shows. this upload is a proof of that. enjoy by clicking here.

Quiet Light Water Gap ‎– Paint

Quiet Light Water Gap ‎is one of the many projects by John Elliott of Emeralds and Outer Space. This C20 was released in 2009 on Wagon in an edition of only 13 copies, acording to discogs. Heavy drone pads on this one, reminds a bit of some Outer Space tapes but this one is even more monotone and vacuum/space sounding.

David Naegele ‎– Journeys Out Of The Body

David Naegele ‎– Journeys Out Of The Body
So I thought. Why not combine this blog with some old vintage true new age music. Theres so much contemporary awesome music going on but with roots in the past that some seem to be quite unaware of - not that I am any expert in the subject except that I enjoy listening to it... Well, whatever.

So First off, this hidden gem by David Naegele. This tape was released on Valley Of The Sun in 1983. Repetitive synth based new age music. Very cool to say the least. Ive got some tapes by Upper Astral, also on Valley of the Sun, will post them later on.

Nastya Vakuum - Pop Problems/Настя Вакуум - Поп-проблемы

Totally mind–blowing stuff from Kyiv, Ukraine: Nastya Vakuum (Настя Вакуум) makes some of the best avant garde pop right now, just in the same sense as artists like Maria Minerva.

thats it for today I think. more music soon.

Blablarism - Fugue (New Ideals, 2013)

Blablarism is Kiev based musician Oksana Zmorovytch. The music could best be described as post-punk, but with a very contemporary approach and unique sound. Highly recomended!
