The Tripping Forecast by l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e published on 2020-06-04T23:56:36Z The Tripping Forecast by Longwave It's 1989 and you've taken a pill in a club; it gets too much & you wander into the chill out room & the DJ is playing a super mellow set of Radio 4 classics. Longwave is mostly Rob Manuel. With thanks to David Ault & Chris Barker. Sample list on Google docs: https://bit.ly/Longwavesamples If you want to download it - Soundcloud have limited downloads to 100 - boo - but we've uploaded it to the Internet Archive - so use that to make CDs or fill up one side of a C90 for your Walkman. https://archive.org/details/the_tripping_forecast Genre Ambient Comment by ZeeKat @l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e: I actually have an entire playlist (album?) here with noodling over shortwave and assorted international AM radio signals. Might be a bit too cosmopolitan tho. And noodly. 2020-10-19T10:50:20Z Comment by Mr Owen I need this in my "life" 2020-08-04T16:39:22Z Comment by Paul Sounds this is great..truly wonderful..im hoping for more 2020-07-08T09:53:18Z Comment by DJ Wide 4 Five omgosh what wonderment! ♡♡♡♡ 2020-07-06T01:51:32Z Comment by Jack Adams 1 Straight away I love this 2020-06-30T18:37:42Z Comment by zetanfan Thank you, I have thoroughly enjoyed every second of this! 2020-06-30T17:08:01Z Comment by l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e @thebeadle-1: No problem. Thank you for taking time out to listen. 2020-06-30T14:33:20Z Comment by thebeadle-1 Hey great stuff, thank you 2020-06-30T14:25:56Z Comment by l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e @user8414707: Should be easy. Just crowd fund it. "Who wants to throw in a tenner so we can burn it on the Isle of Jura as a cover version?" Then bunk off with the money because it would really help out with the mortgage. 2020-06-30T11:50:25Z Comment by l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e @user-504637025: Thank you. That's how we saw it. A small retreat to other times rather than making a depressing concept album about the bad things that shall not be named. Don't make Pink Floyd's The Final Cut basically. 2020-06-30T11:49:08Z Comment by BLT Brilliant. A little bit of joy in otherwise challenging times. 2020-06-30T10:52:27Z Comment by user8414707 @l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e Ha! Here's to your million quid. 2020-06-29T19:31:42Z Comment by l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e @user8414707: Yes. One of the ideas behind this was thinking "what if Chill Out got to No 1 instead of Doctorin' The Tardis" and they wrote a book called "How To Write A Chill Out Album The Easy Way" and we followed the rules and became the the very mellow Edelweiss? 2020-06-29T19:26:35Z Comment by user8414707 Wonderful. It's as if the KLF had been in a continuity booth when recording "Chill Out". 2020-06-29T19:20:59Z Comment by l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e @zeekat: @zeekat: This is enough appreciation. The Radio Four schedule gave it a shape that made is possible for us to put it together. We knew how to start / end it and could wibble around in the middle. Doubt it matters hugely if you don't know all the references. We'd be happy enough to listen to a similar idea based on french radio. Someone - make that. 2020-06-28T12:30:46Z Comment by ZeeKat I probably lack a bit of cultural context to fully appreciate it, but I listened to enough of Orb to think it's brilliant.Music that sounds like AM radio tuned to different time and space is always a treat. 2020-06-27T18:18:18Z Comment by l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e @carl-natton: Ours too Carl 2020-06-26T21:31:43Z Comment by Carl Natton My atoms are stardust !

Wanted to do a whole thing that lived in that space. 2020-06-17T17:39:13Z Comment by Bill Parslow Pure joy "To the traditional sounds of an English summer The drone of lawnmowers The smack of leather on willow Has been added a new noise" As they say. 2020-06-17T15:26:29Z Comment by l_o_n_g_w_a_v_e @martyn-eker: Oh yes. Our remix. Make it bleepy and add some loops. Just like your mum used to do it. 2020-06-16T16:39:33Z
