I'll have to plug my speakers into my pc and see if sound works on my slackware linux install. Thanks for the test music. :-D

And, did it have some relaxing effect? :-)

Hi Speel,

Just started listening to it now. Liking it so far.

I'm generally a fan of electronic chill and ambient tunes. Love Biosphere, Peter Kuhlmann, Dr. Atmo, Syzygy etc.

Cheers,

Oli

Good to hear :-)
Though I love ambient sounds, I never have heard of them. Have you heard of Deadbeat, or Arovane?
Btw. you can find more here

[Oliver]

Cheers dude, thanks for the link. I'll have a listen tonight.

Biosphere (Geir Jenssen) has some mp3s available at his site. He has done a lot of material which I have not heard, though I have really liked nearly all that I have heard. I have some of his early tunes on vinyl, from when I did a bit of DJing. Absolutely fantastic. I love chill tunes on vinyl, for that super comfortable, warm sound. This stuff was geat after a big rave (you know, a proper rave, like they used to make in the good old days ;-) ).

You can find these artists on quite a few ambient radio stations. I listen to spacestation soma, and drone zone at soma fm, and sometimes listen to the ambient channel at di fm. The free service at di fm is low bit rate, so I don't listen there for very long (listening fatigue). di fm has quite a lot of Biosphere and Peter Kuhlmann (aka Pete Namlook). At the moment I can't afford an ongoing subscription though. Making the occaisonal donation to soma is an easier model for me.

Well, off to try some new tunes...

edit- mp3s hosted on Biosphere's site are short promos only.

edit2 - actually, at least some of the mp3s are quite long. hey may all be the full tracks, just there are some short ones in the list

Thanks for the links!
I used to listen to Groove Salad a lot a couple of years ago, I think I lost the link and forgot about it, tis sure good being reminded about it. :-)
The music of Biosphere made me think of Thomas Köner, very atmospheric.
Especially 'Laika' left me with an odd feeling.

-edit-
Hell I remember good old raves! :-D

Cool, glad the links are appreciated. I listen to groove salad too, and sometimes the secret agent channel, just for a laugh - it reminds me of the interesting TV shows I used to see when I was a really young kid.

I hadn't heard the tunes on his site before. I just looked him up for the post. Some of those tracks aren't very musical.

I will look up Thomas Köner. I may not have heard his stuff before.
