A captivating cosmic and atmospheric journey blending space ambient, cinematic electronics, and warm analogue nostalgia.
Good day listeners, wherever you are. Trevor here. Welcome to episode 211 of the Virtual Cassette Library. This is a 60 minute virtual tape with a metaphysical flip at the half way mark. This episode is based on the track “Ghosted” by Lone Cosmonaut from the name your price EP “Ghosted” which dropped on the 21st of May via The Committee for Sonic Research label. Also a massive thank you to Lone Cosmonaut, Ian Boddy at DiN Records, Pablo Bilbao at Cyclical Dreams and Colin Morrison at Castles in Space for sponsoring the episode with material. A captivating cosmic and atmospheric journey blending space ambient, cinematic electronics, and warm analogue nostalgia. Side A drifts through ethereal astral planes, lonely ghost transmissions, dark hypnotic voids, and stylish Italian evening grooves. Side B expands with bright hopeful radiance, grand orchestral Moog swells, intricate rhythms, and deep philosophical layers before closing on mysterious folkloric darkness. Overall mood: Dreamy, mysterious, and emotionally rich with a strong sense of wonder and solitude. It feels like floating through starlit skies, abandoned satellites, and warm summer nights — equal parts cosmic isolation and comforting analogue warmth. Perfect for late-night listening, stargazing, or immersive headphone sessions. If you make music, or are a label, and would like to be featured, send your file links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
