288a - Proggy Synths mix 1

I'm sure it was coming across Node on the Volume compilations in the 90's that really sucked me into this genre.  Then the DiN compilations that accompanied The Wire magazine.  Finally realizing I had some sadly neglected Tangerine Dream records in my collection, I sat forth to pull this three part mix together of some excellent examples of modern (and a couple classics) proggy synths.

Episode 49 - Progadelic

Prog and Psyche music aplenty.  Great dark, engaging music here.  So many styles that all blend well together.  Node is a superb, supergroup focusing on modular synth noodling.  Lotus Eaters is another supergroup of extreme and metalheads.  There is more than one freak-folk group called The Trees, this is the more obscure one.  I absolutely love Volcano the Bear, in all their difficult majesty.  Grails and Envy are pretty standard fare and expected in this mix.  James Plotkin makes a second appearance (solo work this time).  Yes, my adoration of Acid Mother's Temple is here, with (one of) their David Lynch homage.  Taking back to the old school with a couple classics, then hitting up the obscure again with The Sonic Catering Band via Colm Ó Cíosóig and Simon Johns.  Wrapping it all up with the ever dominant caring Nurse.

07:39 Lotus Eaters - Untitled 2

12:29 Trees - Track 02

14:29 Volcano The Bear - Reahs Mort

17:58 Grails - Bad Bhang Recipe
