Trembling Blue Stars, brilliance

A new moody and melancholic void has been filled for me recently after the discovery of music by London based band Trembling Blue Stars.  I stumbled across their song “All Eternal Things” not too long ago, which caught me off guard.  I was doing something and actually thought I was listening to a Cure song.  But this wasn’t the case.. it was actually Trembling Blue Stars.

The band has actually been around since the mid 1990’s.  I’m pretty sure I heard tracks from them quite a few years ago.. perhaps I was too caught up in hardcore metal songs at the time that I didn’t really take note of how good their songs are.  I enjoy the shared vocal duties from Bobby Wratten and Beth Arzy.. good stuff.

Mix it Trance it Dance it Club it

I’ve recently been spending an incredible amount of time listening to obscure music, however I have also had time to get lost in a large amount of DJ and trance tunes which I have never heard of before.  Years ago I would pick up quickly on hard to find remix tracks, but I eventually took up interest in other genres more than electronic music in general.

There are quite a few talented DJs out there right now.  It’s not that they are new to the scene, it’s just that I’ve found ways to appreciate some of the mixes they have been releasing.  I suppose certain types of advances in musical technologies have something to do with it.  Perhaps not.  Some of the best dj equipment used is old equipment.  So.. I don’t know.  All I can say is, I dig some of the rare remixes floating out there today.  I’m not a master at DJ knowledge, but I do have an interest in finding and obtaining some of the rare recordings that are in existence.

Returning from a hiatus.

It’s time to spread some music lovin’ news once again.  I’ve been on a temporary hiatus for a variety of reasons, however I’m glad to say I have some extra time to fill in the gaps.  So check back for some killer new music, old music, and crazy odds and ends that I might feel interested in sharing.
