dancing alone.

 

i've been listening to enno velthuys for a decade or so now after discovering him on the silver clouded comp featuring robert turman. a totally under sung dutch artist from the 80's, this is some really special ambient music. if anyone has vol III in this series please drop a link in the comments.

ps not my rip, so thank you to whoever uploaded these to slsk. i've heard rumblings of a reissue series, let's hope it comes to light.

apartment over the peninsula.

 

sorry for the shitty res on the cover, it's the best i could find with a three second google search. anyway, this came out in the late eighties through innovative communication, & if yr into what private music was doing around this time, then this will be right up yr alley.

an abandoned garden.

anything with klaus schulze is always a go.

under the jaguar sun.

this is a really lovely piano album that came out through windham. love to put this on in the afternoon with the windows open & the sun shining through.

time shapes the lens.

heading down to portland to record, so i'll be away for a bit. leaving you with some more swishy piano shit. it's on narada, you know what's good.

a circular ceremony.

& of course some more hassell for y'all.

dream of my love.

some swishy shit for a lazy afternoon.

goodbye dreaming fields.

deep zones for the clouds.

inner suggestions.

some real lovely minimal japanese ambient jams that harry hosono produced in 1983.

andrew weathers // qualchan. split c26 out now!

hey! just wanted to drop a quick line to say my latest tape, a split with the phenomenal andrew weathers, is out through the stellar aescape sounds outta austin, tx. & of course i have to thank evan of flash strap notoriety for the gorgeously stunning artwork! my piece is a b-side to last year's here, tyrant death, exploring the now age while andrew's is some fantastic noisy drone.

stone flowers in bloom.

to start out the week before having to go to work i wanna share this really nice 80's german synth album, sounds like something private music woulda put out.

smoke break.

fell asleep too early, just woke up & feeling very awake (it's 11:20pm here) so listening to this while smoking & reading hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

beyond the sunrise.

not my first time posting yoshi wada here. this album from 82 is utterly breathtaking, two long tracks to get lost in & forget about yr surroundings if for just a little bit.

standing on top of a mountain.

i recently posted another heavenly music corporation so figured i should throw this one up as well. more gorgeous ambient jams for the weekend.

while the city sleeps.

more fire from patrick o'hearn this time from 87.

waltz for a spaniel.

a gem of a jam from my man hiroshi yoshimura in 93.

early stars.

so much heat on this... full of blissers & jammers from the always on point patrick o'hearn from 1984.

good morning, midnight.

what a lovely album. this was made in the mid nineties for a japanese radio station which beamed through satellites ethereal audio harmony twenty four hours a day. i think y'all will enjoy it.

ps real torn up over johann johannsson, what a beautiful body of work to be left behind. godspeed good sir.

um, circles and squares.

a lovely number from this fella. i know this isn't the deepest gem, but is a nice warm up run to get back into the swing of things around these parts. also, i wanted to post sade's diamond life or gza's liquid swords but i don't think i'm ready for this blog to get shut down just yet. maybe one day.

qualchan. ~ smoke signals vol V.

here is the latest smoke signals mix. i recently got fired, so the songs are a little more downbeat than usual, perfect for the gray weather we're having here in cascadia. smoke some weed & get lost in the mix.

ps decided to switch over to mega since zippyshare has gotten to be really buggy.
