I *love* this song.

It's sexy and relaxing.  I listen to it while riding my bike on a beautiful day (lots of them here in hot Houston) and contemplating my fit in the world among the bunnies, deer, and armadillos. And when I welcome my friend from Europe back to his homeland of America in five days, it will be played in the middle of the night.




I *love* this song too but for me its so different.

I feel like floating alone in the cold embrace of outer space.
Until a voice pierces the crippling desolation.

Beware though, you heed the Siren's call at your own peril...

Hope you're still around, sarah

reminds me of Archive, sweet nostalgic 90's sound

I think this must be out of rotation - it's in my favourites but no comments for a year.  
It was lovely to hear it again

EXCELLENT!!   RP Introduced me to them, and now I like a lot of their music!  Thanx RP!  PS: their name reminds me of an old broadcast band, shortwave radio station LOL!

Nothing like having All India Radio in the background while concentrating on a difficult task.  

...or while painting! Not as difficult but potentially boring, especially without music

I adore the symphonic qualities of this, and how it builds to such a satisfying intensity... I never get tired of hearing it!

This song makes me feel like i just woke up in an abandoned hospital somewhere, 28 days later style. Its oddly a situation i would be quite comfortable with...

The album cover looks delicious.

I think I have to bump up my rating from 7 to 8 on the strength of that comment/image.

I could quibble and say " Hey - I've already heard this band in the last 7 hours - albeit a different track". Or I could celebrate that I can sit at my jewellers bench at work and have 7 hours of Eclectic Mix for my day's soundtrack.
All Hail Radio Paradise!

There's a similar band to this called in Australia called Ostia, less well-known certainly but perhaps even better.  Much like Lycia, another darkwave band. The singer might be found on Etsy and in 2011 at least she was giving CDs away for free

As in architecture, repetition in music can be interesting and effective when done well.

"Down-tempo" and "trip-hop" tend to employ more repetition; it's generally an element of the genres.  The groove is more important than the transitions.

Well here's another example of a tune that, at my first listening, I nonchalantly rated a 6...oh boy was I way off!  I've upped it to a 9 this morning.

LONG LIVE RP!!

+ soft, breathy female voices here :) Nice one, I can definitely imagine it being used in some sci-fi movie - I think its sadness would have fitted right in in "The Fountain". Found something new today, thanks Bill!

It's possible that both covers were designed by the same person...or not. I haven't been able to find out.  Anyhow, cool tune.

I think of AIR's stuff as Ambient-electronica but this is more like a standard song, err instrumental piece.

This is a fine example of the sub-genre of electronic music referred to as Downtempo.  It's closely related to trip-hop, so despite not knowing wtf it is, you've shown that you recognize some elements of it! :)

The band's name caught my attention. The incredibly eclectic and brilliant album Escalator Over the Hill, by Carla Bley and an amazingly broad selection of musicians has a song by this name. Any band with this as an influence has got to be rather unique.  Among the performances on this album are several guitar pieces  by John McLaughlin that are about as powerful as any guitar solos anywhere. This is as obscure as compositions go, these days, but if the combination of Jack Bruce, Chalie Haden, Linda Ronstadt, Gato Barbieri, and way too many others sounds intriguing, it's worth checking out. Not easy listening, but where's the fun in that?

...their earlier albums are more instrumental and atmospheric - extended mood pieces, really - but their more recent work began to shift in a songlike direction with this album...it's all good music, a bit benign, but great in moderate doses...

This followed JA "Somebody to Love" and if one suspends one's sense of reason for a moment at the beginning, it sounds a bit like Jefferson Airplane and "The Ventures in Space" updated a bit. To me, anyway!
