5 Song Set

Reggae didn't end with Bob Marley and the Wailers. Contemporary reggae and reggae fusion have some great sounds that combine reggae with jazz, funk, ska, pop, rock and even folk music. In this episode, you'll hear five reggae songs guaranteed to prove that there is more to the genre than just Mr. Marley. The songs are "Talk of the Town" by Marina Orchestra, "One Day" by Arcadia, "Town Crier" by Fat City Bird, "I'm Alright" by Offbeat Revolution, and "Ой на гори два дубки" by Chornobrivci.

Usually, I play upbeat, energetic songs. However, sometimes you just want music that's laid back and relaxing. So, that's what I've got for you in this episode: five laid back tracks for a lazy summer day. The songs are "Beach Bum Anthem" by Akim, "Brooklyn Mermaids" by Scott Wolfson and Other Heroes, "(T)Silent Tea" by Scrabbel, "Summerland" by The Woodlands, and "Sonia's Song" by Rich LaBonte.

In this episode, I have five electronica tracks for you. These days, it is hard to really single out something as electronica, as so much music is made on computers and a lot of it doesn't even remotely sound like that's where it came from. For this episode, though, I picked songs that really do sound like we would imagine songs made on a computer sound, but even that gives us everything from chiptunes and really upbeat songs to more slow, ambient ones. The songs in this episode are "Future Memories" by Escape Into, "Magnetize" by Astro Kid, "Hello World" by Upside Down Cake, "Waking Up In The Perseids" by VCMG, and "The Future, Both Forever Ungrasped" by Connectedness Locus.

This episode features five songs that have a good beat and would be great to dance to (or at least move to). The songs are "Hitman's Lovesong" by The Freak Fandango Orchestra, "Snowfall (Flying Chivaus Version)" by Shade of Red, "Teresina" by OdjBox, "Dazzling by Design" by Summertime's End, and "The Ice Tower" by the Erik Sumo Band.

This episode is five songs with a funky, bluesy and definitely cool feel. The songs are "Окно" by Neboslov, "Steve's Guitar Corner" by Kid Meets Cougar, "7 days, 7 nights" by Mika Akimen, "Ruckus on Wall Street" by Jack Klatt and the Cat Swingers, and "Popcorn Nélkül" by DeViszont.

This episode has five a capella (or mostly a capella) songs for you. A capella is unaccompanied vocal music, so everything from Gregorian chant and other religious music up through barbershop quartets, modern looping "vocal only" productions and beatboxing. The a capella in this episode varies from just incredibly beautiful to fun, funky and bluesy. The songs in this episode are "Bad Day for Heroes" by Hawthorn, "פאנקי אותי" by Funkapella, "Mayokero" by Roy Kafri, "Holtenbroekblues" by De Blauwe Vingers, and "Y Deryn Du" by Rún.
