I’m a fan of electronic music since I started consciously listening to music somewhere around 1981. One of my first CDs back in 1985—as a quick look at my iTunes playlists revealed—was a Jean-Michel Jarre compilation with samples from Oxygène, Equinoxe, Magnetic fields, etc. (»Musik aus Zeit und Raum»). Over the years I found a piece of electronic music here and there, but never really kept track of what was going on. As I now know I should have just asked my friend Stefan Schulz about it. Since last September he publishes a weekly podcast on “fine electronic music”. On a 9 hours train ride two days ago I finally had the opportunity to hear all 10 episodes of 30 minutes each in one long rush. What a great way to spend one’s time: the world passing by outside the train window while listening to “electronic music of ambient, space, new age, experimental, and rhythmic style”.
