Sequences Podcast No 244

What this episode covers

This month’s first edition will be our last podcast featuring a full lineup of different musicians, with the finale for this year just before the Christmas holiday, another special on a well-respected band and their various solo and other projects. We are back with a more upbeat selection here, including melodic sequential music and several Berlin School-influenced tracks. Only one new name, B. Ashra, to add to the roster of the thousands of musicians/bands we’ve introduced over more than 30 years. We include two of his recent albums, which span ambient music’s dark & light side with meditational & ritual overtones. Talking of dark ambient, Vidna Obmana’s Dante Trilogy is a collection of his early 2000 albums Tremor Spore & Legacy. Kamarius, with his ritual, mystical sound, relaxing and enigmatic atmospheres. Pioneers of French electro,\ Space Art with ‘Personal Duty’, mastered by the legendary Michel Geiss and Dutch musician Remy’s most conceptual project, including a ten-piece choir. Steve Hillman has been in this scene with sequential and progressive electronics for 40 years. We’ve included his latest ‘Sunsets Of Summers Past’ converging on the prog rock side.
