Muzak. Skip.

Reminds me a bit of Afro Celt Sound System.
First I thought it's Tangerine Dream..
upd: Checking older comments it's obvious I'm not alone. :)

It'd been a while since I heard this track and I was thinking I was being Shpongled again until I checked the info. Love it even so! Thanks!

Wow... what a great set... Nature's Way & Animal Zoo from Spirit followed by this awesome piece!
Reminds me of Alan Parson's Project
Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre and Chorus of Tribes all on RP. One of the reasons I love this station and have contributed on a monthly basis for years. LLRP

So many 90's Tangerine Dream vibes in there. Not bad.
Love Tangerine Dream and I am enjoying this too! RP FTW!!
The rumbling sounds at the beginning of this song makes me wish I still had my Domus II speakers with a 100 watt per channel amp. Would shake the house like I did back in college.
When this started I held my breath for Expecting To Fly - not totally disappointed - just a little bit!
This has a Tangerine Dream feel... I like it!

But isn't that just swapping one person's personal taste and opinion for another person's? Better we have the current balanced mix of incredible music combined with utter garbage that Radio Paradise currently gives us. I intensely dislike some of the music played here and some I absolutely love and head over to Spotify to add to my 'playlists' because I like it so much.🐨
I love RP but I do have one gripe. There is way too much of this "world fusion" muzak out here. Howzabout we get rid of it and swap it out for some Ibiza style Chillout, which would serve the same purpose with far less annoyance.

Since there is no Wikipedia or other info, I'll add some from Last.fm:

As we “practice keeping our social distance” amidst the global health crisis - a big round of applause for Bill and Rebecca! Excellent musical programming to help keep our collective sanity intact. Cheers from Vancouver, Canada.
Amen, couldn't agree more with memoryboxer!

Been trying to get my hands on a good digital copy of this album, or even a decently priced, decent condition hard copy of this album for years. Any suggestions? The usual suspects are no good...

We're lucky they've dedicated their lives to doing this at all. So many folk complaining when they hear something that doesn't fit their tiny niche of tastes, rather than opening their ears, pushing PSD, or perhaps, better yet, going back to mainstream radio for even a short period of time and realizing what a treasure trove we have here, and that we're blessed to be offered such a diverse collection of music - even if it isn't all catering to our particular interests.
I have to assume that every single song played on RP is paid for, and I can't imagine what that costs to offer as broad a range as there is... even if that means that some bands or musical genres get missed, or are under represented. Unless one is a regular contributor to the operating costs, I don't think we have the right to voice any complaints, although we certainly have the right to leave.
I occasionally hear music on RP that isn't to my tastes, but I have a broad range of musical interests and find, for the most part, almost everything is worth at least sitting through until I hear what comes next. Rarely do I need to PSD, but it's there when I do. And if I get a string of "rather not hear this", rare as that is, I always have the option of "changing channels" or even dipping into my own music collection (funny how rare that has become). I am constantly amazed by the number of bands I've never previously heard of that I now know and love thanks to RP.
RP is like the old joke about the weather in so many locales... "Don't like it? Wait 5 minutes.".
CHEERS B&R... and Thank You for all you do. No complaints here.

terrible
perfectly fits the soundtrack I find myself in at the moment... headed toward Peter Gabriel''s Passion, a soundtrack I like so much that I refuse to see the movie.
I rated this a 2 at some point, but it's pretty cool after that Blondie remix.

It's the bleedin' obvious, but needs repeating time and again:

2. These boards are for any registered listener to post what s/he wants, within the posting guidelines. Whineing, worship or indifference.
one more agree here. sure are a lot of whiners out there who should go back to FM or satellite or just away.

This is trance?
Ambient electronica perhaps?
An altered state is not necessary to enjoy the song. Just don't ever get straight.

Only with those colorful little "mother's little helpers" you can really understand
what trance (and trance-music) is all about!
Trust me!!!

Why is this so nice...Not sure... I usually shun robot music... I guess buying Soha, Mitch Gerber , and Hindi Zahra this past week has opened my ears...
this kind of world music is usually about as classy as you would expect from looking at its album art.
There was a CDROM game titled "Silent Thunder- A-10 Tank Killer II" published by Sierra Games.The sound track sounded so close to this it may be the same group or musicians. Lots of trance light stuff to accompany the usual 30mm depleted uranium chain gun rounds heading down range to destroy the usual enemies.

Formulaic trance in the vein of Delerium, Enigma, Deep Forest, etc. To be honest, I can't tell these acts apart, all their "songs" sound the same. Not my style at all. Ho-hum at best.

Nice call! I'd almost forgotten about Schultze, who was an absolute hero of mine in the early 80s, so thanks for the reminder. The ominous (in a good way) start to this promises much (and is thus literally ominous), but the omens fail to bear fruit and it descends into bland electronica, which is a shame. What's with the yipping dog in the background?
Pleasant enough, but no real edge or memorability. Nice for a chill-out with a nice pint and/or a stiff spliff in a darkened room. 6 from the Nottingham jury.
Traces of Klaus Schulze - Timewind (mid 70's) . The use of 'white noise' and background beat..... good though!

It doesn't really do anything for me, but isn't particularly objectionable either, it's just kind of bland and its homogeneity means there isn't really any new to discover in it from repeated listenings.
But that also means that if you do hear it over and over, it very quickly becomes tiresome, if not actually bothersome.
I have a bunch of "Windham Hill" style stuff from long ago and I find that very little of it ages well at all. Michael Hedges is a notable exception. Tons of rewarding stuff from multiple listenings.
This... not so much.

My personal annoyance is at folk who seem to have totally missed the point that RP is about diversity, on the one hand, and the personal tastes of Bill and Rebecca, on the other. We're lucky they've dedicated their lives to doing this at all. So many folk complaining when they hear something that doesn't fit their tiny niche of tastes, rather than opening their ears, pushing PSD, or perhaps, better yet, going back to mainstream radio for even a short period of time and realizing what a treasure trove we have here, and that we're blessed to be offered such a diverse collection of music - even if it isn't all catering to our particular interests.
I have to assume that every single song played on RP is paid for, and I can't imagine what that costs to offer as broad a range as there is... even if that means that some bands or musical genres get missed, or are under represented. Unless one is a regular contributor to the operating costs, I don't think we have the right to voice any complaints, although we certainly have the right to leave.
I occasionally hear music on RP that isn't to my tastes, but I have a broad range of musical interests and find, for the most part, almost everything is worth at least sitting through until I hear what comes next. Rarely do I need to PSD, but it's there when I do. And if I get a string of "rather not hear this", rare as that is, I always have the option of "changing channels" or even dipping into my own music collection (funny how rare that has become). I am constantly amazed by the number of bands I've never previously heard of that I now know and love thanks to RP.
RP is like the old joke about the weather in so many locales... "Don't like it? Wait 5 minutes.".
CHEERS B&R... and Thank You for all you do. No complaints here.
I absolutely abhor the "like it or leave" crowd. The ones that hold up the choices presented as binary. There's a portion of the listening audience that loves RP and listens actively and intently but doesn't agree with every choice that William and Co make. Why can't we express our opinions? Criticism is the cornerstone of improvement. Hubris is the direct result of thinking that one is without fault or error. Debate should be encouraged...not stifled ffs. Or do we all really like the way the world is headed??
