The Main Sequence

I went on a bit of an acquisition binge yesterday for Bandcamp Friday. And so I have plenty of new music to share with you this week. Some are new releases, some are re-releases, and some are artists who are new to the show and RadioSpiral.

I'm not that good at coming up with themes for the show at this point. Most of the time it comes down to, "Hey, here are some great pieces I think you should hear...." This is one of those shows. Just some really good music that maybe you don't know (but should).

Let's call this one a time machine, as we delve way back into a cassette release from the early 1980s all the way up to brand new releases...

In honor of the current Artemis II mission to the moon, this show focuses on lunar themed pieces. The association between synth music and space exploration is legendary, so this is a perfect fit. A lot of great music to hear from some Main Sequence favorites.

For the final installment of this year's Long March, we start with Arc of Passion by Steve Roach, continue with a live concert from Arjen Schat, and then conclude with a piece from DTime.

The focus this week was on a piece by Chuck van Zyl from his Passages album, The Face of the Night, clocking in at about 78 minutes. To warm you up there's a great piece from The Soviet Space Dog Project. Enjoy how the music grows and develops across these long form pieces.

Mar 14, 2026 - The Long March progresses this week with something really long, the Star Seed track from The Rosen Corporation clocks in at over 1 hour 18 minutes. It goes through a lot of moods. Then we hit Sophos' performance from Cyclical Fest 2023 which starts with jagged tones and then blossoms into full sequences....

Mar 7, 2026 - The first installment of The Long March where I feature long-form pieces (30 minutes or more). Two great tracks from State Azure and Michael Brückner.

I had some technical issues (mostly with my mic) during the show and so this is a reconstruction of the show. There's something from the mysterious trio, Dream Sequence, and new artists Yakuzza Jakuzzi and The Rosen Corporation.

Feb. 21 2026 - Dug into the archives to find some gems to bring into the light. Started with a few new ones from Erik Wøllo's new release, Snow Tides. Added a new artist, oscar postma, to the Sequence. And then plenty of music from some of our favorites.
