Let me kick things off with a batch of (mostly) new music, then we’ll pop off to the library. Gosh, it’s just like old times! Enjoy the ride, friends. Start      Jim Ottaway, A Promised Reality, Treasures of Light7.21       MidiBitch, Marmalade Skies, Sonic Fiction11.55      Bernd Scholl, Sunrise in Spring, The […]

I told you I’d be back. And guess what? There’s music.We’re starting this time with a short tribute to two musicians, long-time contributors to the show, who sadly passed in July. After that it’s new stuff until I stop finding things in the tanks that went well with the flow. So, two from the library […]

How does the Hypnagogue Podcast celebrate laying down its 500th episode? With an epic buttload of music. And by using the ever-so-classy term “epic buttload of music,” I solidify my place as the least professional ambient/electronic/contemporary instrumental music podcast host in all of recorded history. And if you’ve been with me for more than five […]

It’s the show before big number five hundo! You’ll be surprised to know that like the four hundred and ninety eight before it, this one’s packed with great music. Plus, there are titles I can’t pronounce, horrible manglings of other cultures’ languages, a stupid bit or two…you know, all the stuff that in my head, […]

Who’s up for uptempo? And a flavoring of funk? And a nice view down into Jazz Valley? ‘Cuz that’s where we’re headed. Throwing in some post-rock for the ride as well. Toes, start tappin’! Start Todd Mosby, Land of Green, American Heartland3.20 Ivan “Funkboy” Bodley, Biscuits & Gravy, Look at That Cookie7.37 Steve Lawson, I […]

Got some new music from some big names, so we’ll start there. After that, it’s a winding path from the tanks to the shelves. All in all, this one stays pretty quiet–with just a little energy here and there to keep you from dozing off. (If that was your intention, um..sorry?) Start Robert Rich & […]

Spoiler alert: this ep has one of those. Beyond that it’s pretty quiet, goes back as far as 2005, and even gets a bit Floyd-ish … on purpose. Start S.hel, Irritant Bodies, Disconnect4.11 Mingo, Complex Refraction, The Once and Future World8.45 Paul Beaudoin, It Might Still Be Light Out, A Space for Remembering16.30 Rafa Ramos […]

I know I tested your musical tolerance levels a bit with the last episode. None of that here. Just a break-free 90 minutes of old favorites and new names. Plus, perhaps the most “I’m just gonna say it” album title ever. Have fun. Start Andrew Lahiff, Under the Fields of Stars, Cosmic Archaeology6.22 Aleksandr Tresorg, […]

To be honest, part of this episode isn’t for everyone. Gets a bit dark and droney and maybe a li’l rough. But that’s why science invented fast forwarding. If you make it through the full non-stop 90 without skipping, you may have a cookie. Start RL Huber, Themisto, Themisto3.45 Christian Wittman, Alexei Tchirikov, The Northwest […]

None of the following artists dropped out of the Freedom 250 concert. I mean, they weren’t asked, but if they had been they might have said “No thanks, I’m already on Hypnagogue 493.” Funky voyages, primal spaces, and meditative passages await. Enjoy. Start Cravagoide, Emisof, Hidden Sanctuary4.52 Joe Weineck, Sonic Forest, Orient to Occident12.31 Twilight […]
