Circumlunar Mixtape

Circumlunar Mixtape is an ongoing series for Circumlunar Transmissions where one user per issue shares 10 tracks they have been listening to. Y'all have all kinds of ways to stream or otherwise find and listen to music, so tracks are just listed and it is on the reader to locate them. As a courtesy, when a weblink to streaming is available playlist curators may choose to supply it.

Solderpunk's space-psych-jazz-techno salad

Here's a somewhat ecclectic collection of tracks I have been digging lately. They are all "new to me", in the sense that I hadn't even heard of any of these artists a year ago. Maybe a year and a half in a few cases. There is a healthy serving of stuff from the space- / psych- / krautrock category, but to keep things interesting there are also some electronic tracks in there and even a few jazz pieces. I hope you enjoy!

1. Alright, technically E2-E4 is an album and not a track, but for all intents and purposes it *is* just one long track without meaningful transitions so it makes no sense to me to highlight some arbitrary subsection. To be honest, my music listening is heavily album-centric these days so you should consider yourselves lucky I was able to pick out tracks at all!

2. This is my most recently discovered track in the playlist. I am enthralled with the entire album.
