Train Six-56 by Paul Asbury Seaman

    Yes, another train mix. They are just too intriguing and cinematic to pass up. This one come from friend of the blog, Paul Asbury Seaman. Paul has given us some excellent train mixes in the past and this one continues that tradition. This one clocks in at just a bit under 100 minutes! So much great music in one mix.   Here's what Paul says about this set:   “A special summertime extended-play mix… almost 100 minutes of long-distance bliss. This is my sixth train-themed production for Low Light Mixes. (The #‘56’ is just for alliteration.) The Zen concept of “stillness within motion” has long been one of my guiding principles and it struck me recently that train travel is a great illustration of this: You can sit quietly while the world literally rushes by.      Trains are a central part of modern history and continue to be woven into the cultural landscape, whether in the movement of consumer goods or the daily commute of suburban workers to desperate families displaced by war. There are many kinds of associations with trains—all vivid, some very dark—and now with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, trains have become not just a symbol of nostalgia, romance and travel, but literally instruments of salvation for millions of people. I have no such pretensions here, but as always, I hope it will sooth and refresh. Once again, sequencers dominate this mix, with their obvious match with the fast clickity-clack of train tracks.”   Thanks again to Paul for this wonderful trip.   Here are links to all the albums used in this mix in the order in which they appear: https://sijmusic.bandcamp.com/album/from-inkerman-to-sevastopol https://www.amazon.com/Runaway-Train-Trevor-Jones/dp/B002JOW24W https://www.amazon.com/Ax-Inferno-Paul-Speer/dp/B00EDPWL0K https://gertemmens.bandcamp.com/album/on-the-edge-of-nowhere https://www.amazon.com/Atmanaut-David-Parsons/dp/B07D74X8XQ https://halakencollective.bandcamp.com/track/kapadokya https://www.amazon.com/E2-E4-MANUEL-GOTTSCHING/dp/B0184SDHK4 https://andrewlahiff.bandcamp.com/album/outward-currents https://sijmusic.bandcamp.com/album/from-inkerman-to-sevastopol https://solarfields.bandcamp.com/album/ourdom https://shamansdream1.bandcamp.com/album/prana-pulse https://redshift2.bandcamp.com/album/life-to-come https://tangerinedreamofficial.bandcamp.com/album/summer-in-nagasaki https://johantronestam.bandcamp.com/album/space-collection https://projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/north-star https://thombrennan.bandcamp.com/album/eventide https://larsleonhard.bandcamp.com/album/gravity https://laddadoane.bandcamp.com/album/quasar https://cheryl.bandcamp.com/album/the-passenger https://www.beatport.com/release/journeys/3678764   Cheers!     T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    SiJ - Inkerman - Sevastopol #1 (From Inkerman To Sevastopol) 00:46    Trevor Jones - Runaway Train (Runaway Train 1985) 03:00    Paul Speer - Tornado Warning (Ax Inferno 2013) 07:30    Gert Emmens - At the end of the track (On the Edge of Nowhere 2022) 12:50    David Parsons - Perhatian (Atmanaut 2018) 19:38    Mercan Dede - Kapadokya 26:25    Manuel Göttsching - And Sovereignty (E2-E4 1984) 29:12    Andrew Lahiff - Scalar Fields (Outward Currents 2021) 37:05    SiJ - Inkerman - Sevastopol #2 (From Inkerman To Sevastopol) 37:50    Solar Fields - Mountain King (Ourdom 2018) 46:25    Shamans Dream - The Way Through (Prana Pulse 2012) 52:40    Redshift - Vampyre (Life to Come 2015) 58:00    Tangerine Dream - Dreaming In A Kyoto Train (Summer In Nagasaki 2007) 60:45    Johan Tronestam - Deep Field (Space Collection 2017) 67:20    Erik Wøllo - Viewpoint (North Star 2021) 73:00    Thom Brennan - Eventide Pt.3 (Eventide 2022) 77:50    Lars Leonhard - Physical Objects (GRAVITY 2022) 83:50    LAD - Spectral Lines (Quasar 2022) 88:20    Cheryl B.
