This week's podcast being curated right now. Long listed 56 new this week things but need to shave over an hour off the running time... Out soon. Meanwhile, catch up here mixcloud.com/CloudlandBlueQ…

Over the last 4 days I’ve recorded what’s turned out to be an absolute belter of an ambient LP, “Mercurial”. 10 short tracks w/bonus extended mixes of each. Look out for it later in 2024. Slightly depressing knowing that hardly anyone will ever hear it. Hey ho, at least I have!

#Eurovision2024 'With computer-controlled cameras, synchronised to pin-sharp choreography, the star made it seem like he & his dancers were being flung around the interior of a spaceship plummeting through a black hole' No, sorry, it looked like he was dancing in a filthy toilet

#Eurovision2024 It’s Croatia for me, just pipping Switzerland to the top spot, with hosts Sweden a close third… UK makes my top 10…

Like you've never heard them before...

This morning I've been mostly preparing 2 sets of 2012 recordings for release on Bandcamp to mark what would have been the 62nd birthday of my old musical cohort Mr Jamie Frain, unbelievably, gone for a decade already. Out Monday on Jamie's Bandcamp Page

This is now a week old and it remains, subjectively, good… Now that’s what I call ambient… cloudlandbluequartet.bandcamp.com/album/vanilla-…

#NP I studied Yes’ 2024 live medley of “Tales from Topographic Oceans” and set about recreating it from the original recordings

Managed it but their butchering of the opening track jars somewhat

It’s not bad but, to be honest, some of the changeovers they’ve chosen are baffling

Today I've been mostly working on a new song-based CBQ LP, editing and remixing recordings made last June for probable release this June.

Did you know there are 4,083 different chords in an octave? And there was me thinking it was 2,210, while Ed Sheeran seems to reckon it's 12
