Right, it's pretty cute indeed. Haven't gotten around to listening to more of her yet, will maybe post something once I get around.

I've had a lot of time to find and listen to music last/this week... and have fallen in all sorts of forum/year-end top100/wiki/YouTube rabbit holes, but to not get spammy I'll just shoutout the Album Desolation's Flower by Ragana, so purely produced, heavy and light.

Who said it would be impossible

I‘ve got the Babylon By Bus live album on.

If I didn't mention this before I have to thank my sweetie for pushing me in that directon. (That plus me not being American by birth.) He was led that way some years ago on an international forum that I think I mentioned somewhere around here.

The problem with major vacations is having to work 60 -80 hours a week before or after. Or both. Sooooo tired I can barely think. But heading to the Great Smokey Mountains tomorrow (vacation!!) and the 'Sisters Appalachia' came to mind. Leah (a.k.a. 'Leah Song' on youtube) and Chloe, products of their musical mom. This is kind of Bohemian new age mountain music or something like that but with an old-age instrument or two. I just love how unique their sound is.

I've been listening to them for a good while,
no filler, all feelers
Ayla Nereo has some similar vibrations

I think this track Goodbye, Goodbye by µ-Ziq, that has been hitting me this week also embodies a lot of the same graceful flight of the spirit.
Have a good time out there, I've only seen Appallachian nature through the screen, but it looks amazing!

Yes and I love this. The music (most of it) is elemental, unadorned, but the video is exotic and fascinating

[QUOTE=Lauri131;2236105]....Goodbye by µ-Ziq....

Love the intricacies of that song.

Thank you! Here's a pic that my sweetie took about 15 years ago, actually in the Tenessee side of the Smokies on the Little Pigeon River. He went fly fishing there....

Mine.... a tribute to a beautiful people, their culture and their land....

Includes a long description but I recommend watching the video undistracted.

Leonard Cohen - Last Year's Man

I am currently listening to stuff way underground. I am listening to an artist from Charleston South Carolina, named Booda Cess. His album "Cessionz" is an amazing body of work. And then I am also listening to a very underground Las Vegas producer/rapper named RicRude. RicRude has a single called "Never Feel Fear" that I cannot take out of rotation. It is just that smooth ride out song. Just something about the way the beat is and how smooth and relaxed and in the pocket the flow is.

My Lover's Box - Garbage

(Aka a really good band with an unfortunately ironic name.)

Wow, I appreciate you letting me into your musical world that much. Frankly, there's just too much stuff on your channel to properly respond to with a post, this is a public forum after all.

Listened to some of the trance tracks, fun stuff. I recently discovered this portal called "Ishkurs Guide to Electronic Music" (still can't post links) It hosts a bunch of info about electronic dance music, the writer overindulges in cynical humor, but it is also pretty informative, especially with the sample playlists.
I ended up liking the "twinkle prog" genre. James Holden (a definitive figure in the genre) had also contributed to the DJ-kicks series (the one that I shouted out the HAAI installment of).
I also enjoyed some of the associated acts like Nathan Fake and Fairmont. The genre pulls from trance with some of the bright melodic progressions.
As an example the track Marcuss Schössow - Chase My Rabbit (Moonbeam Edit) simple, but in a really good entrancing way. This week will be extra cold in Finland -20 to -30 Celsius. So I'm pumping this energetic music.

On the topic of musical portals, the site everynoise.com has been my go-to, although it's flown through some turbulence last month when the author got laid off by spotify, you can read all about it on his blog linked on the site.
Btw. on the site Rising Appalachia falls under the genre "high vibe" and quite a bit of the acts in that genre are stuff you'd probably like/already know of.

I also have a youtube, where I've got all my favourites appropriately playlisted some of it sorta mixified, some of it not, so if you wanna check that it'll probably pop up if you search Lauri131 in there.

For a better 2024 :)
