TANGRAM : “Tepidarium”

Tangram (aka Peter Fabok) just released a new ambient space music album : “Tepidarium“.

“Tepidarium” is a complete and free album to download in MP3 format, it is the second from Tangram, the first one was “Aura” another great release.

This record is very old Berlin school style, with lots of analog sounds and sequences… The tracks are reasonably shorts, if you except the 10 minutes masterpiece “Well tempered humidity” a song in the pure style of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream.

The quality of the record is top, not pure ambient, but very cool and relaxing sequencer music.

One of the masterpiece of the year… and a free mp3 download !

UPDATE: Ultima Thule Ambient Podcasts

EDIT: All good and back up again !

A message from George I just relay here :

Dear Ultima Thule listener,

You may have noticed that we have not updated our podcasts for the past 6 weeks.

This is due to an impending relocation of our website to a new, improved web hosting provider.

Ultima Thule has been making available podcasts of our weekly broadcasts since May 2005; we were in fact among first radio shows to be podcast anywhere in the world.

In January 2009 we doubled your weekly dose of Thule, by progressively releasing available programmes from our 20+ year archive as part of our podcast feed.

As a consequence our global audience has grown to such a phenomenal extent that our current web hosting provider is no longer able to handle the traffic volumes that we’re generating.

A very very very cool one !

Prior to launching the full album, Numb just released a single, “Boot Sector” that you can listen on their mySpace page.

The 3 tracks (’Boot Sector”, “System Restart”, “Why”) are very good, but the title song, “Boot Sector” is a killer, one of the best Ambient track of these past weeks. it is very cool and warm, yet you have things happening and that wonderful melody, a great one that reminds Vangelis…

Go and give it a go, here is the link to buy the record at The Void.

Wayne mailed me for you to discover utopiaXO’s latest release, under the name utopiaXO.

The record is called “The Light” and you can find it on LastFM for listening as well as a free mp3 download.

This is a very cool and light ambient record, with some spoken voices that mix perfectly with the textures of the music, a very relaxing album.

City of Ashes by Altus

Directly from Mike’s blog :

Please join Altus on June 26th at StillStream.com for the Ambitar radio show (hosted by Allan Goodman), who will be premiering “City of Ashes”. The show starts at 10pm EST. Join us in the StillStream chatroom and get first access to the new release. For those who are unable to join, full download access will be available on the 27th.

“City of Ashes” is a audio/visual project pairing the music of Mike Carss and the photography of Shawn Sintzel. A mix of ambient and orchestral works, this is by far the most cinematic music Carss has released to date, and acts as a film-like soundtrack to Sintzel’s stark and austere photography.

We hope to see you there.

So now you know what you need to do tomorrow !
