Black & Blue and a little bit Pink

Tune in to SoundScape this Thursday (April 5) from 9 pm to get the best of Ambient music. YVFM 99.1 or get it streamed live from the website.

This week we sill feature music by Bluetech, Blackfilm and Pink Floyd.

"Bluetech is a psybient DJ/producer who creates a varied selection of downtempo music. Bluetech's music is very diverse, even for a psybient artist. He places significant emphasis on melody in his productions, and his works often demonstrate an influence from dub and ambient techno."

"Blackfilm - London, UK-based, the term cinematic gets tossed around a great deal in the music reviewing business, especially when it comes to those genres and styles of an electronic inclination. For the most part anything appearing particularly dark, atmospheric and epic seems to get pasted with this descriptor, and much of that undeservedly so. Perhaps the right adjective at the time, in comparison to Blackfilm’s self-titled debut album, most other so-called cinematic peers fall short."

"Pink Floyd were an English rock band that achieved worldwide success with their progressive and psychedelic rock music. Their work is marked by the use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, innovative album art, and elaborate live shows."

The Goon Show will be 'The African Incident'.
