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 !
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.
Mouhahahaha, the guys at Synthtopia are just crazy !
For their Free Music Friday this week, they just went mad with their readers:
They offer 500 (yes ! 500 !) electronic music tracks that you can listen on line and download !
Here is what they say :
It’s Free Music Friday at Synthtopia – so I ask you this:
How much free music do you want to download today?
* 10 tracks?
* 50 tracks?
* 500 tracks?
It’s time to make sure you’ve got some empty hard drive space, because Synthtopia readers have uploaded over 500 electronic music tracks that you can listen to online and, in most cases, download for free.
We’re talking ambient, techno, symphonic electronica, IDM, not-so IDM, abstronica, DJ mixes, remixes, downtempo electronica and more from some the most talented electronic musicians in the world.
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…
“Binary Scenes” is the debut release by San Francisco Bay Area electronic artist, Atomic Skunk. Atomic Skunk’s music features “artful melodies with cinematic moodiness” and has been described as “Very meditative” and “Zen-like” with some “chaotic and dark elements/rhythms.” The album, Binary Scenes was recorded entirely with Ableton Live in Marin County, California and features 8 fresh and original tracks that “force a headspace of chill and peacefulness.” “Binary Scenes” is available now at iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp and CD Baby.

The Ambient label Ping Things is offering an incredible free album to download as high quality mp3 for you.
“A decade of Dreaming” by the famous dreamSTATE is a compilation of an incredible live performance by some of the finest ambient musician out there:
“a decade dreaming” features a selection of live performances by dreamSTATE spanning ten years of concerts at THE AMBiENT PiNG, celebrating both the music and the PiNG community of the last decade.
With guest performances by Eric Hopper of Sylken, Alan Bloor of Pholde/Knurl, Jim Field of Spacenoiz, James Johnson, Wally Jericho, and Cheryl O, “a decade of dreaming” is a beautiful collection of music that captures the essence of dreamSTATE and the PiNG itself. From the smooth pads of “Soundscape for Richard Wright”, through the delicate melodies of “Jharna Revealed”, to “Premillennial Landscape #1″ and its celestial tones, “a decade dreaming” is a fabulous release that I am delighted to be able to share with you.
I am listening to it right now as i write this post, and this is a masterpiece !
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.
