I put together another mixset that's in a style I'm happy to share here. It's dark and artsy electronic, and it's a fairly varied selection that ranges from psychedelic chill out and whimsy electronica to heavy industrial and rhythmic noise. It's all building up towards one of my favorite songs of the last year, Not To Be Here, by Covenant (it's a cover of Dimbodiu's song with the same name).

Link here: Magical Mixtape #5 - Restoration

Track list:
  1. Wu Wei - Point of Division 00:00
  2. Blue Bliss - Geometric Clouds 3:17
  3. Robosapiens - Crawling From The Wreckage 5:30
  4. Ego Likeness - New Legion (More Machine Than Man Remix) 8:59
  5. Poztman - Posthuman 12:00
  6. Skold - Escape 16:11
  7. Aes Dana - Exposure (Aes Dana Rmx) 19:46
  8. Semiomime - Walking Distance 24:50
  9. Yaarrohs - Amber 28:06
  10. Kirlian Camera - Black Tiger Rising 30:16
  11. Al Lover - Super Strength (Power Plants) feat. Morgan Delt 31:39
  12. Desert Dwellers - Saraswati's Twerkaba 34:22
  13. Seoan - Mystery of God 38:59
  14. KMFDM - These Boots are Made for Walking (Bombs Remix) 42:22

That video isn't available in Ireland, but I found her on Spotify. It's not what I need just right now, but it does sound good so I'll put this away for a different time.

That reminds me. I should show some support for one of the local artists. It's not bluegrass, but more like some kind of jazz. Enjoy.

Wow. She's really good! What a voice. Um...she's totally the type of sultry singer I listen to when I write certain stories so thank you for introducing me to someone new!

Speaking of Bluegrass, I always like to joke that since I'm from Alaska of course I'd like it haha.

Glad you like it. I'll try and pass it on when I see her next.

Speaking of Bluegrass... it's one of those genres I have a really bad grasp on. I know it exist and I've got a vague impression of what it's about, but it's not something I've really figured out.

...and whenever the topic comes up for discussion it seems someone has to link this one:

I have no idea why I've been so much into banjos and fiddles lately.


Svrt: Bluegrass has its Southern roots in America so maybe that's why? Think banjos, fiddles, violins, guitars, and cowboy boots. :D It might sound similar to country but it's not the same at all. Country has more of a twang (I'm not a country fan) whereas Bluegrass has a more...what's the word I'm looking for...string-fest.

P.S.
There's no music funner to dance to than Bluegrass!

My latests mixset is featured on musicto.com's Essay Writing playlist, here: The Essay 3 - Nils Ödlund

I got into talking about music with the guy who runs the site and apparently there's a bit of a scene for study-music. It's instrumental music with a steady rhythm, and slow non-intrusive melodies. I think I saw someone posting about studying for exams - this might be good? :)

Hey, I know Nils. Or, rather, I'm in his Facebook group, Dreamtime Tale Fantasy. I'll have to give a listen.

I found a bunch of stuff over at archive.org. Search on psybient. Very much to my writing taste.

I've recently fallen in love with Synthwave. Or rather, I recently discovered that some of my favorite soundtracks from the last couple of years are part of a whole genre.


My favorite is Pertubator, but everything on Trevor Something Does Not Exist is pure gold. The cover of Enjoy the Silence is probably the best.


Maybe you have to be born in the 80s to fully get it. Seems like almost all the artists were as well.

I recently decided to revisit Regina Spektor's music, and I'm so glad I did. My favorite of her albums has got to be Soviet Kitsch. It's jazzier than her newer stuff, and it has this lush complexity to it without being cluttered. I don't like sparse music (which is probably the reason why I don't like most experimental/esoteric genres); I need something with some body and noise to it to give it life. This album is really great in that respect.
