Many thanks to Timmion Records for combining the talents of Finnish multi-instrumentalist and Welsh collective Cold Diamond & Mink. From the Timmion Records Bandcamp site: The first album out is titled “Is There Love In Outer Space?”, which begs the question with the force of five extended tracks that are guaranteed to blow your mind to the stratosphere. The pieces are loaded with whooshing and glistening synth noises and span from lofi space funk to cinematic soundscapes. The sweetly floating title track is like some of those galactic ballads that rare soul collectors are spending their pensions on. At the…

These albums are quite fondly remembered by those luckily enough to own them for their unique personality and low-key approach to…

Today’s title is a single track, combining Lithuanian chanteuse Laurita Peleniūtė and the Latvian ethno-folk group Auļi performing a folkloric track which blends both Baltic cultures’ best features together seamlessly.

What a stunning way to end 2022! Jeff Gburek scores six pieces which have absorbed themselves into my listening space. This isn’t music to merely listen to – it is music that you feel. There is so much happening in the music that even microtones give you a tingling sensation. This must be the Schuman resonances he mentions in tracks 3 and 4. Deepest listening. From Jeff Gburek’s Bandcamp site: “During the recording sessions for the long form improvisations comprising “Winter Serenity 2022″ published just a few weeks ago, there were several shorter tracks that were either due to interruptions…

I hate turbofolk, but there is a sick charm to the genre. A Youtuber called snakelover23 is the one who originally posted this video, but I can’t seem to find his account. This is a repost.
