The good folks over at Nocturne Records asked me to do a mix for their podcast. They put out some great music so how could I resist!
Most of the time with my mixes I'll stumble upon one or two tunes that spark an idea. In this case I rediscovered an old electronic album
that I had in college. It's a compilation called Music from the 21st Century.
That album got me thinking about science fiction music, whether it's music used in sci-fi or just tunes that sound like they should be in a sci-fi film.
This mix uses two tracks from the 21st Century album along with several other old electronic cuts. A couple of those older cuts are from another college favorite, Synergy - Cords. I loved that album back then & still go to it occasionally for a nostalgia hit. The whole album definitely has a sci fi movie soundtrack sort of feel to it.
The mix isn't totally old electronics, there is also some newer material mixed in.
Enjoy.
