Great podcast Chris. I loved the new Ascendant tracks, and the interview was very interesting. I hope the album will be a big success for you both.

Good work :thumbsup:

Hey Chris,
Don't forget to enable downloads on this podcast - I'm itching to listen to the interview and my odd bits of free time don't always coincide with the ability to stream the audio :D

Kick butt!
I thought about physical album, too. Right now, don't have the means. The economical and environmental viability of one custom printed album per single order rather than the 'coasters' thrown away is legit.
It gives incentives if I get to it. My music is heavy on the extremely unique graphics art, which gives me an edge. Oh yeah..nice album cover. I had tossed this together..it's May 9..right around the corner. Good show. gotta runmoooncross.jpg

Finally got to listen to this last night. Great show as usual, music possibly a cut above the usual ;) and a very interesting interview. Don made some very perceptive observations about 'pure' ambient music - it can indeed be very cerebral, so much so that there is no emotional connection. And arguably the most important aspect of any piece of art is its ability to communicate emotion to its audience, so I completely 'get' what you guys are doing. Even if I didn't get it, I'd still enjoy it simply because it's just good music. It's great to hear the obvious rapport the two of have, and the album is testament to your musical 'sympatico' - long may it continue

By the way, coincidentally 'Smoke Ring' is my favourite track too - I feel the Orbital influence is strong on that one :D
