The Gentle Space Music of Hollan Holmes curated by Paul Asbury Seaman

created by and through the courtesy of Hollan Holmes

I am excited to bring you another beautifully curated mix from Paul Asbury Seaman. Anyone who has been to this blog in the last couple of years should be familiar with Paul's excellent mixes. The most recent of which was a train mix from a couple of months ago...

This collection of tunes is a tribute to one of Paul's favorite artists, Hollan Holmes.

Here's what Paul has to say about this mix:

“The Hearts of Space radio program wasn’t named after Hollan Holmes, but it could have been. His music is infused with both awe and a tenderness not often found in space music, which is all the more impressive given that he uses no acoustic instruments. This mix, in honor of Holmes’s soon-to-be-released seventh album, includes two tracks by Richard Burmer, a primary influence on Holmes, and two by fellow Spotted Peccary artist, Massergy. (Note: Cover artwork for this mix was created by and through the courtesy of Hollan Holmes, from his forthcoming album, MILESTONES.)”

Thanks Paul!

Cheers!

I've just released my first album and it's got a few tracks I think your readers might like. You, or they, can check it out here:

Nice mix and the concept is nice, original 80s space music mixed with its modern disciples. But I think Seaman should review his titles when he is done with his mixes. No all of this is "Gentle", Holmes' themes evolve into nearly hysterical variations. Reminds of his "Ode" and "Floating through Moonlight", good mixes only half-represented by name.
