when you walk into my dreams.

some fun upbeat reggae to combat the cold outside.

even if yr not awake.

let's jump back to japan for some squiggly early 80's post punk.

let it take yr mind.

let's go a little north for hazy afternoon zones.

the pattern emerges.

jumping across the pacific for this brazilian loveliness from 1970.

wade in the water.

this dip in the pool album is stellar. if you dug the jams she did with visible cloaks or that single that music from memory reissued, then you know yr going to be in love at first listen.

hazelwould.

more greatness from my man joe hisaishi. just like scene at the sea, this is from the early 90's & reminds me a lil bit of interior in the best of ways.

seven forty seven.

some warped dub for yr tuesday afternoon.

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.

haunted heroes.

doing chores early on a lazy sunday morning while listening to these soft focus yacht jazz jams from the early 80s.

this is not a photograph.

couldn't start out yr saturday morning better than with this funky gem from the early 70's.

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.

bridge of leaves.

amongst the maestros, marchetti never gets his fair due, which is a shame because he's a strong composer with an impressive body of work. really lovely music perfect for a soundtrack to a lazy weekend.

ps just realized it's been six years now. pretty wild.

friday feelings.

throwing up this stone cold soul jazz classic from 75 up before i have to go into my soul crushing job. this has been getting a lot of play around these parts lately.

i don't want to be yr shadow.

been going through miyazaki lately (for what feels like the umpteenth time but there are always details to pick up along the way), got to thinking about how amazing the scores are, got to hunting down more work by ole joe hisaishi & stumbled across this gem. what a beautiful soundtrack, & i thought i'd like to share it with y'all. the main theme has light shades of moments in love (at least to these ears), & the whole thing is really just so very lovely. hope y'all enjoy!

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.

march of the spirits.

one of my all time favorite tapes, i jam this on the reg. ecstatic gems from my man thomas mapfumo who fled zimbabwe in the late 90's due to the political climate. i don't wanna ramble on too much, but such an inspiring story which you can read more about here. i don't even think i can do this one justice, it's just something you have to hear for yrself.

island of woods.

charming japanese synth pop earworms from 1983.

the lost world.

hailing from 67, gabor szabo would never again match this perfect synthesis of sitars, psyche folk, jazz & latin tinged drumming which is a wonderful way to start a sunday morning (or wind down for those non us folks :).
