When in need of soulful uplifting after a hard slog on ATS let power of analog synthesis work it's magic

Never heard this guy but he grooves.
I first came onto synth music at an all night dance party in 71 that played Terry Riley's ''Rainbow in Curved Air'' all night long.

Saw your word Bliss and that brought me to another old favorite of mine from Don Slipian's ''Sea of Bliss''
Awakening''. It starts very slowly and never gets into a groove mode but just kinda floats along with broad chords and modulations over playing a fast flying set of synthetic arpeggios.

How cool is this!
And people say electronic music has no Soul.

Bloody brilliant. Thanks for the morning wake up music.

Nice - love me the sequencers in your song

Thanks for that, will look them up. Here's another of my favourite - AKS

A little like Tangerine Dream to begin with - but they go off into other realms.

Thanks -

This is why I rarely listen to commercial radio - my 120 gigs of my Ipod tunes in the car keep me happy

You're welcome - I' found this guy who's becoming popular - they're calling him the new Jean Michel Jarre

Sebastian ‘KEBU’ Teir - enjoy

Oh yeah. I like that a lot. Very much like Tangerine Dream.
Back in the late 70s early 80s there was one radio show that did electronic synth music that I could find. It was called Music from the Hearts of Space. It was on only one night a week late at night for only two or three hours. I would take my cassetes and record each program to listen to later. I loved that ''sonic'' music but could find no other people my age who did.

All that ambient music, Eno, Stearns, Dueter. Now though I guess it is easily found for those who are interested.

Currently I have a new favorite. A classical composer, Mason Bates. He writes of all types of orchestration from small groups to large symphony stuff. He is blending full orchestras with electronic music and I am finding it exuberant.

Here is one from a set about water.
