The Link Disappeared Too

 I re-post just for Fanny Blancmange  ...

01. Disappearing Into You (8:49)

02. In Paradiso (5:07)

03. Resurrection (8:10)

04. In Paradiso (3:17)

08. Spirit Guides (7:02)

09. [silence] (3:40)

Raphael, known for his cosmic thoughts and pretensions, provides more fine noodling in this 1988 release.  A bit solipsistic, but that’s what happens when you’re on the road to self-disappearance?

NEW 2026 FILEFACTORY LINK.

NEW 2026 DRIME LINK.

Beam Me Out

You may feel that way after listening to this 2010 release.

01. Introduction and Woven in Joy (9:18)

02. Deer Spirit (5:13)

03. Chalice (6:26)

06. Abundance (9:03)

07. Radiance (6:40)

THIS LINK GOOD FOR SEVEN DAYS.

There’s nothing inoffensive, but nothing particularly inspirational either.  Check the liner notes.  Perhaps you can tell me why the Mayans are more spiritual than Buddhists or cannibals or Vikings.

PERMANENT LINK.

See you  Thursday!

  

Dare You Dream?

That's the challenge of this 1993 cassette.

10. Seeds of Happiness (4:30)

11. Blue Reverie (4:26)

Of course, I can't promise WHAT KIND of dreams may come.  

When you awaken, please don’t sue me to recover these 45 minutes—I warned you in advance!  However, if you want some nice background music to listen to at the bowling alley or while touring a sawmill, this is for you.

It’s an absolutely enchanting album.  Originally I heard selections on HEARTS OF SPACE.  I confess that for years I thought “Teja” was a girl because it sounds like a girl’s name to me.  Sorry to assume, MISTER Bell!

See you Thursday.

  

Please Come Back

You can vanish for awhile, but don't stay too long!

Some of the stuff is pretty dreamy, though.

See you Monday!

  

A Sleepy Migration

Here's some of that New Age music in which nothing ever happens.

01. Relaxation Music 01 (22:08)

02. Relaxation music 02 (23:47)

THIS LINK GOOD FOR SEVEN DAYS.

PERMANENT LINK.

It's crystal synth music with little form but repetition.  So dreamy it’s BORING!

When you wake up, I'll see ya Thursday!

  

100 and Counting

This is New Agey, almost vapid background music.  In some tracks, I wonder what an imitation-Irish pennywhistle sound has to do with Oklahoma?  On second thought, to call it “elevator music” is too much.  I’d call this “wallpaper music,” or maybe “Sominex for the ears.”  It is competently performed, but somehow is hollow through and through.

That might have been considered a plus, since judging by the labeling this was a handout from an OKC bank.  Heaven forbid that their valued customers hear music that’s inspiring or challenging!  Somebody might become offended!

01. Beautiful America (2:52)

02. Sight of My Homeland (3:18)

03. Where Horizons Meet (4:26)

04. Light on the Moon (4:20)

02. Fly into Light (11:57)

03. Twin Flames Rising (11:49)

04. Universal Consciousness (7:21)

No, it's New Age ramblings, not a scary radio show.  However, in some selections, the vocalizations are off-putting, almost creepy ...

Hope to see you at the beginning of a new week.  Happy drowsing!

  

Greetings, Space Cadets!

If you weren't listening to Music from the Hearts of Space in the eighties, you missed out on a buncha fun, fellow transcendentalists!

This radio program is still broadcasting omms, philosophical music, and other nifty stuff.

You may find this a sleepfest, or it might calm you to the peaceful level you need.  See you Thursday, if you wake up by then!

  

Wave Now, Astro!

One day early because tomorrow is the prep day for Soonercon 32!

Yup, a world of sensual sound!

It's one semi-glorious track.  I was bemused to see the CD text (image included in file) which appeared when trying to rip this generic disc of background-music-type tripe.  Don’t ask me what the album title refers to -- probably NOT cement mix!
