Rhythm of the Rails

 

 

 

 

This mix is a sort of follow up to the train mix of a couple of months ago.  I had a song or two that I hadn't used and then I stumbled upon the album "Simultonality" by Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society. The track, Sideways Fall, has this great repetitive train-like feel to it.  I knew immediately that I needed to make another train mix to fit with that tune.

  That Joshua Abrams track is more jazz than ambient so I decided to keep that vibe throughout the mix. A few cuts, Steve Reich, Dan Deacon & Fieldhead, wander off the jazz track a bit but they keep the sense of forward motion.

 

The three 2017 releases in this mix are a few of my favorite discoveries this year.  Check them out.

 

Joshua Abrams & Natural Information Society - Simultonality

Daniel Brandt - Eternal Something

Quatuor Ebene & Michel Portal - Eternal Stories

 

 

Cheers!
