we are all waiting for the next season of Fresh Air!
The whole world needs a new podcast like no. 16 and 17. And of corse the legendary no. 10 of fresh air! music.
Come on, TC

I’m re-acquainting myself with SpaceMusic and am enjoying it tremendously.

I know it may seem like a thankless endeavor, but this is something that can be enjoyed many times over.

Thank you,

You sometimes wonder why more of us aren’t responding…I think so many of us are just caught up in the rat race and stress and really want to say thanks this way, but just don’t get around to it…but they/we/me are really enjoying your show and it is helping us stay half way sane in these precarious times. Your shows are my recommended medicine for my occasional episodes of insanity and feeling stressed…helps me forget my unimportant so called problems for a while. Thanks a lot and don’t forget you are really doing a good thing and lot’s of us really appreciate your dedication. Pete

Congratulations for Spacemusic 608 - you still “got it” - amazing music, thank you - Matthias

Just wanted to say, on my day off this Tuesday, took a walk along a coast path here in Devon, Uk. (It’s an area of outstanding natural beauty) - good sunshine, warm, great views, and a selection of your shows downloaded onto my mp3 player.

Very pleasant day indeed.

Thank you for taking the time and effort to do these shows, and thank you to all the artists.
All this fantastic music, i hope they all get the recognition they deserve. I was in musical paradise for the afternoon, plus a couple of beers also.

Cheers, Steve

Thanks,

As a follower of your podcasts I wonder why Klaus Schulze never dropped a track?

TC, brilliant work you’re doing but please, keep in mind that not everyone out here is an iSlave.

PS: Because of your inspiration (was it in 2010?) I got myself a pair of skates. Feels good to glide on ice with Northcore, Klangstein and Schiller (with Mike Oldfield, cool!) floating through my brain……

thanks for all the hard work you put into your great chill out shows over the last years! Love your mixes, especially the “fresh air lounge series”…best podcast ever!
Keep up the good work, all the best for 2011!
Cheers
Martin

Thank you for your excellent compilations and hard work. Wishing you the very best for 2011 and many many many more years of Space Music!

Nearly the same I wanna tell you!!!!!!!
Start just to download all !! hundreds of your podcasts and recognized, that there was this special music, I ever have searched for!

Next time I am here, (after I heard them all…) I will donate for you!

Thanx so much!

Thanks for the countless hours of good listening. I listen when doing homework. Great stuff, keep up the excellent job. I plan to buy some Helpling, Jenkins and others soon because of your site. God bless.

TC reply:…Amen! Glad you found us…

Listening to Fresh Air#12…it kicks butt. Have a Fresh air playlist on ipod and it rocks. Have you ever heard from Sonarfreq? I tried going on website but it went nowhere. Anyway, thanks for all the music. I hope you start up jukebox again…I love to play that at night…

I am an avid fan…you have changed my life. Thanks.

Been ill for a year but still trying to play “catch-up” with all your shows. Just finishing Season 4 (2009) but amazed at some absolute gems; S4.07, 14, 15. Finishing this series with the wonderful Global Feed you did for New Year 2008-2009. Excellent!

Good luck to Netherlands in the World Cup Final in South Africa. This is one Englishman rooting for a Dutch win.

Keep up the good work TC, I’ve been following your shows since series 1. The best podcast music…

Best,
Mike, Solihull, UK.

Humble thanx for the mention in new year podcast!!!

I feel inclined to let you know that I’ve introduced your podcast to all of my family members & friends who all appreciate your work. You’ve managed to bridge a gap between the ages of 75-17 with your universal selections.

Thanks to your dedication and all the artists for the superb work.

Respects…

I work with a boutique recording studio in Chicago. The guys introduced me to Spacemusic about 6 months ago - they have your podcasts going constantly! They’ll be sending you some of their music soon.

We’re all huge fans and love your voice as much as the music you play. If you’re ever planning to visit Chicago, I’d love to show you around the city! Windy City fresh air might be a fun show!

Thanks again for the music.

TC reply:…deal! Windy Chicago it will be then Let me write that down somewhere. Keep listening and who knows, see soon. Thank you Christine. Say hi to all people!

thanks for your tremendous work on the Spacemusic Podcast. I enjoy it very much.

I mostly like the Jukebox. Will it be continued in 2010? When does the next song will be published?

Many thanks and all the best fom Germany.

admin reply: Thank you for your kind words, love the Dutch line! Yes, Jukebox will continue to play the best songs for sure; the machine is now in the lab for maintenance and will play again starting Jan.25th 2010. Stay tuned…

Love your show.

It’s quite cold here in Palatine, IL (about 25 miles northwest of Chicago) The temperature is -10 degrees below zero. Cant wait till spring and summer again, I’ll be out on my Schwinn road bike jammin’ out to TC and Space music.

Keep up the good work TC

I donated so evenly 5€. I white it is not much, but it is better than nothing. If regular listeners only a small amount would donate…

I wish glad Christmas and a good start you and the Spacemusic team into the new year!

Please continue your create work!

Sebastian Schneider

Thanks for the good music, the good talk and the fresh content. It is the best music I have never heard before. One thing I notice is the very high quality of everything you do from the audio to the video.

Currently I am stuck on CRASH but gradually listen to the other tracks including the Jukebox series. Coffee break of 10/26 is the best of that series.

Before that I got stuck listening to the Fresh Air series.

Dennis Larson, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Muchas gracias for the mind bending, totally enjoyable musical forays I’ve enjoyed since season #1. I love the juxtaposition of snippets from your life, cooking, travel, etc. with some very enriching music by talented, up and coming artists. As long as you are there pumping out podcasts, I’ll be here listening!!

TC reply: Malibu is on the list now! We know Constance Demby from the 80’s when we first heard ‘Mother of the World’, still a remarkable good song. Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks for expanding my musical horizons, and keep up all the hard work!

Peace,
Aaron — Minneapolis, MN

My sincere thanks for your initiative. In a complex, hectic, numb and lobotomized world it is quite easy to lose yourself. Your podcast reminds me that it’s still possible… its possible to make it. Simple things are rewarding, for you and for everybody else.

Thanks for sharing, keep the spacemusic flowing!

TC reply: dear NocNoc, that’s super to read and very much the situation as we speak, things start rolling, people are opening up, I’m opening up in return; I play this, you say that, that’s how it works. Welcome to Spacemusic. Thanks for your kind words. All the best!

thanks for that, i stay tuned!

TC reply: good finding! Welcome and enjoy your stay, for now and later.

Have a great summer my friend!
Take care…

TC reply: thanks Mark! Your opening is and will always be cool. It’s a very spontanuous recording and EVERYBODY likes it, so now your in the jingle playlist my friend, forever! ;-))) Stay cool.

A happy listener.

TC: thank you Jason, good to read this stuff, especially cause it’s already a pretty long time ago I produced the end-of-the year podcast. Loads of listeners are still responding to that particular show, the three hour one (!) And you know what, that’s a show I did without any boundaries / limitations, I just got started and continued without thinking, including the interviews, it just had to be done, it was in my head way before publishing, it just had to be recorded and posted. Thank you so much for your feedback, makes our day! Cheers, ~TC

Love your work. Every week is that little bit better

You need a host for free? What exactly are you looking for, please email if you can.

Keep it going and thanks for introducing me to Shaped Signs…got their new album not to long ago…they are the greatest…they have a bunch of demo tracks on their website…you may want to play them on your show…maybe help them with getting the word out about their music.

Why did you stop doing Freshair in AAC format…i loved it and it plays great in my player with the option of choosing specific tracks and comments. Your HD movie was great…gave me chance to see my favorite DJ…TC!

Greetings from Australia!

Your Podcasts are THE BEST. You play the most awesome ambient/chillout/electronic I have ever heard - I’ve been listening to this type of music since my teens (too long ago!). It’s perfect to listen to for my photography work.

Andy’s cat Gizmo from Stamford, UK, has competition - my cat (who is from UK and now in Sydney) is called Baby Star and he loves your shows too, along with my partner Scott. Keep up the sensational work TC - WE LOVE IT!!

Warmest regards
Jane, Scott and Baby Start the ginger cat.

PS: It’s winter in Sydney bu it’s warmer here than your summertime in Rotterdam…

We are still great fans of your spacemusic shows. Especially Nova Cinema and Mistery of Mistery - fantastic, that’s TC!!!

When will we hear your next TC ALBUM??? Your last one can stand any comparison to albums of Vangelis, JM Jarre, etc. - so go for it!

By the way: We would have no problem paying for your shows but: WITH YOUR COMMENTS, not for a “sterile” 60 minutes of nice music. Your voice, jingles, comments, etc. bring this music alive!

TC, have a look at a Lithuanian guys website. He is a paragliding pilot, making some real nice movies. Go to: http://www.bitlas.com, watch the movies: “Paragliding over frozen dunes”, “return to innocence”, “a short enlightment”, “the Beginning”. Great movies and great music, too. Can you imagine his movies together with YOUR spacemusic - wow, that would be great!

Hope to hear more spacemusic – the more, the better …Take care.

Best regards

Matthias & Isabel from Aarau, Switzerland

Love the HD Video! Good Work! Interesting to see how you do the show.

I know…I know…I’ll do some soundbytes soon.

Promise!

Take care my friend

Chicago Mark

thx for been real chilled. I´ve become a spacemusic listener by random search. After one Session with you, your voice, the music and been pushed in to space i spent more and more time to listen your Podcasts.

I bought all stuff from David H., Jon J. and there project together. Your hint was perfectly right! Also the Music from CarbonBasedLifeForms are amazing! Thx too!

I am a IT Senior Consultant in Hamburg and have a lot of stress at work and needed this type of music to come down, to override my brains waves, to chill.

I also hear Deuter, Fahrenheit Project, Jon Hopkins etc.. Great stuff too.

Thx, and please never stop to bring us the realy best spot for chillout and spacetunes

Thanks for amazing a true “rock chick” with your relaxing sounds! I’ve especially enjoyed the Sine podcast, and have all of the shows now on my new iPod!

Thanks again - take care.

TC reply: every rock chick has to cool down from time to time…. enjoy your stay and your iPod! cheers!

I’ve been living under a rock! Only just found your podcast 2 days ago. A lot of things compete for a spot on the 16GB on my iPhone, and I spent most of last night getting other stuff off the thing so I could fit more spacemusic on it. Senseo Sundays has introduced me to at least four or five albums that I have now firmly put on the wishlist. I especially enjoyed CRASH and SayCet, although the others since are also excellent. I’ve a few long flights coming up, and I’m looking forward to catching up on all the episodes I’ve missed.

Please, keep them coming, and thank you for this wonderful weekly escape.

Geth

Love Planet Bolex…so relaxing.

No summer break for you my friend we NEED your Senseo Sundays to keep us relaxed and ready for work.

Got to make some soundbytes for you.

Take care my friend

Chicago Mark

We are listening!

Lotuspike (part of the Spotted Peccary Music Label Group) loves the Spacemusic Podcast and want to get involved and would love to supply you with some music!

Jon Jenkins told us about your show a while back, and now my iPod is PACKED with your shows!

If there is one place on the web you can count on for discovering new music, it’s on TC’s Spacemusic Podcast!

Keep it coming!

Daniel

Admin reply: …. hi Lotuspike! Thanks for signing the guestbook and welcome a’board! It’s good to read from you and yes, we are certainly interested in music you supply. And I’m sure our listeners are too! Keep listening, thanks.

Regards, Ben.

Admin reply: I’m sure you can still hear the music in your head when you’re doing the exam @ school. The correct answers will flow from your pencill! All the best, let us know the score, keep listening Ben and thanks for your message.

Thank you and take care TC!

Your hide, enthusiastics Space music listener Sebastian

Thank you for keeping the show going. I absolutely appreciate it!

I just wanted to let you know that I have been a listener since season 1, but I have never left feedback.

I love your shows and one of my favorites is Deja Vu from Season 1 aka episode 25.

Really terrific stuff on Senseo Sunday this week Really enjoyed it this morning.

Also found your S 4.17 Nova Cinema was one of the best Space Music shows you’ve ever done. Lost count of the number of times I’ve played that one whilst working.

Going on holiday to Rhodes next week and will make sure I have all your shows on my iPhone as I’ll need them to while away the hours on the beach Sorry, had to tease… Of course you’re invited

Cheers, Gary.

He has a good old chat to himself every time we listen to his famous shows.

Thanks for using his clip we will perhaps record some more. Come on listeners get recording its a lot of fun.

It’s Mark from Chicago!

I about drove off the road hearing my comment I left for you about Senseo Sundays many months ago.

Your podcast is still one of my favs! I always get the newest episodes to listen to on the way to or from work.

You make the drive more relaxing. Any plans to bring back the “Sound Seeing” podcasts? I loved hearing you cook your dinner and explain what you were doing or when you were going for a walk.

Keep up the good work my friend!

Mark from Chicago!

===

TC reply: Hi Mark! It’s good to read you here in the Guestbook - welcome to your show Who knows I might make some ‘tosti’ and make a show out of it. Keep in touch ok?

Just wanted to thank you for your great show.
I’ve been on a journey the last 6 months and I only survived the bus drives through Vietnam and Lao because of your great Podcast.
Imagine a 24 hour drive in a 30 year old bus on Lao streets and you know how much peace the music had to deliver
I’m so happy you started the new Season! Hope to get new music from you for the rest of my life.
Thank you so much and go on with your great work!

Greetings from Germany

Mathias

===

TC reply: well thank you Mathias, that’s so incredible to hear! It has been our pleasure delivering the podcasts in time. Season 4 will become Season 5 and before you know it’s Season 6….. If there’s any photo material from where you have been, please let us know cause we’re very interested. Have a safe journey, all the best!

Love the show..been listening over a year now! Keep up the great work..you make Mondays very bearable Why not create T-Shirts to get the word around?

Listening from Philadelphia, but from the UK.

Cheers!
Wayne

===

Admin reply: Hey Wayne, thanks for dropping by. T-shirts huh? We had a shop for over a year and sold like 2 items, we figured it didn’t work. But…. now that you mention it…. perhaps we’ll start shipping shirts ourselves directly from spacemusic.nl If more people are interested we can give it a try so you better start mentioning it to everybody you know…. ;.-) cheerio!

Love the show!! Found you on itunes and listening in Dayton, Ohio. By the way if you get another toothache shoot me an email I will see if I can help. I am a dentist.

Admin Reply:….thanks Richard! Tooth pain is much better now. My dentist has helped me out just fine this time. Though I must say one knows when the teeth are getting older. I’m not an old guy or something but I just have to take care on what/how I do take a bite….;-) Keep listening ~TC

Just wanted to drop in and say thanks for your long-running podcast! I listen to it often and it’s always full of beautiful music!

Take care
Nate

What is the schedule for Fresh Air this year?

Thanks.

Love this type of music, and your commentary is also entertaining. I just found your website about a week ago, and have been listening to it everyday since. Keep up the excellent work and I look forward to your next Senseo Sunday.

TC

I discovered spacemusic.nl a couple of weeks ago, and LOVE it. My Ipod had to be cleared out to make room for your previous episodes. Thank you so much for all your hard work. It is my favourite podcast.

Can you recommend any decent ‘dark’ ambient albums? As this is a sub-genre that I only discovered via you.

Thanks again for airing this great music.

===

TC reply: ….please send us pictures from the Airport! Sounds very inspiring and a true value to our podcast/ music genre. Skank track = the best track. So drop an e-mail with attachments if you will. ~TC

I’ve been listening to T.C. for several years now as well (2005) and having T.C. talking as the host has always been an equal part of the joy that is spacemusic.

Besides, I agree with T.C., This is a podcast, if you want him to “shut up” then stop being cheap and just buy the albums/music he is promoting. Most of these artists are absolutely incredible and he provides excellent information on the song names and artists.

So instead of complaining about an awesome podcast that provides amazing music exposure to you for free, go and buy the albums!

===

Admin reply: ….amen. Thanks!

TC reply: super Geoff! Keep listening

Just wanted to drop you another line to say Super Great Job on the End of the Year Global Feed Podcast. I have lost count of how many times that it has been played, but it is one of the treasures in my iTunes. Downloaded 4.12 a few days ago now. I believe that 4.12 is now my favorite in the fourth season for Spacemusic. Keep up the Great work & look forward to many more years of TC & Spacemusic…

Been listening since 2005. My oldest episode and a great one is “Around the world in 33 minutes” from 3/30/2005. I have trouble listening the radio now as your mixes are about the only thing I do enjoy. Electronic and upbeat are great. This helps at work looking at the computer trying to work as it takes me away and makes the time pass quicker. Dark side of the mood - cross roads - The radio cast - not sure I can name a favorite. Keep spinning - I have purchased several of the artist too and enjoy Lucy/ Lazy Hammock and many others too.

Please keep up the good work, and whatever you do, do NOT give up the talking!

Like others have said this is what makes the show, there are plenty of other ambient podcasts out there, but this is the one I look forward to hearing because you put so much TC into it.

In fact I’d love to hear a little more about ‘the team’!

Thanks for the music once again.

the spacemusic podcast wouldn’t be the same as a non-stop. I love the music, which is the best mix anywhere, but your voice, stories and personality make the whole thing come alive. I would go as far as trying one of your cooking recepies if you share with us

all the best!
Thomas

I just downloaded seasons 1 through 4 a few weeks ago. There is so much great music here. I have alot of catching up to do.

I’ve been listening to the Spacemusic podcast since way back in 2005 - it was podcast #19 of the first season that got me started and hooked. I still remember sitting at the pool on Teneriffe that year drifting away to Lucid Dreams (#37), heheh.
Thanks for the great podcasts and introducing us all to new artists and reminding us of stuff we might have forgotten.

Transeuropean wishes for the New Year 2009 from a British Netherlands fan from the north of the Black Forest!

I’ve been a Spacemusic fan for about a year now. I found you on iTunes and have been hooked since that first listen.

You’re doing a brilliant job with the mixes and lighthearted conversation and bringing a lot of great music to a lot of grateful people.

Album highlight of 2008 for me - Treasure (David Helpling and Jon Jenkins) who I probably wouldn’t have found without you!

Thanks a million my friend and keep up the great work.

Dale

PS I can’t believe Jon and David couldn’t name the Tangerine Dream and Vangelis tracks - I got them straightaway

I have always wanted to write to you and Thank You.

I am so thankful to you, thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication. You have been an Ambassador for ambient music, I was afar and you have connected me to ultimate relaxation.

Best,

Dustin

I have to say: I really, really love your show!

For a couple of months I´m doing the renovation of my new town apartment. The only recreation I have is listening you really great music. Most of the work I´m doing when I am alone in the apartment and your music make me feel happy, even when the work is hard or boring.

When I go to bed sometime choose you AIR series to come down. This feels like having vacation. I really like the episode with the music from luminous.

First i thout the episodes with the interview would be boring but the wasn´t. It ist interesting to hear some backgrounds from the guys who entertain me all the time :)))

I might try your recipe when I move with my family tou our new apartment. If the recipe is at least half as good as your shows it might be GREAT!!!

I hope you produce the shows for many, many more years!

CU GUS

It’s hard to find good ambient music here in Barbados, yet the climate and the scenery suit it so well. Thanks for continuing to reach those of us in the quiet little nooks of the world!

Best,
Taggs

I listen to your podcast since last summer; I find it “by accident” surfing in iTunes.

I like electronic music for decades (esp. TD, Klaus Schulze, Robert Schröder, Vangelis, Software) and therefor it was a very good luck for me, finding your podcast with new impressions of electronic and ambient music. Thanks a lot for your passion and love to music and I’m looking forward to the next show!

Een Gelukkig Nieuw Jaar
Happy New Year to all listeners,
Bonne Année a tous,
Ein Gutes Neues Jahr !

Patrick

To find a show with the variety and quality of music that you put out to the world is simply amazing. The blend that you put together has a specific flow to it. Good for the soul. It is soothing and yet invoking at the same time.

You rock TC! I look forward to all of of your future episodes.

Great to see the whole project progressing so fully! I don’t mind the chit-chat either, I think one of my favorite episodes you actually were cooking during the show (thankfully you didn’t actually -eat- at the microphone), fun stuff, truly, be well TC.
Take care, and maybe talk more soon!
David

Thank you, thank you! I love your selections. I’ve been a listener for about a year now. I’ve been a space/ambient/minimalist/electronic fan for decades. I like when you throw in some older pieces as a way to show both continuity and evolution of the music we love. I also enjoy when you talk during the podcast! I know others have criticized it, but your comments personalize the podcast and often make me smile.

Thanks,
Nicola

===

TC Reply: Thanks for your comment Nicola; couple of people did and still do complain about the talking, we simply advise them to skip the podcast if they’re really bored. Funny thing is, they don’t. We know there’s plenty of podcasts out there without any talking, nice shows, but like you said: we like to personalize ’spacemusic’ and give it a certain twist for the fun and interest. Thanks for your kind words and thanks for your appreciation. The older tracks will be more and more on the Spacemusic podcast, music from 10, 20, 25 years ago as it’s so very valuable. Music you won’t hear on radio stations that much (perhaps never!) therefore this podcast will pay attention to old and new music every time again - people have the right to hear it….! ~TC

What a great season, looking forward to what you do in 2009. I am trying to purchase some music by AWARE but am having a hard time finding it, any suggestions?

Happy Holiday and if you are ever in Kansas City, MO USA–let me know–i’ll treat you to some famous KC BBQ.

Thanks.

===

Admin Reply: Well, music by Aware is very ok, finding Aware is hard we know. No albums via iTunes Store or something. Our guess is you have to travel to Ibiza and find your copy…. What we do in 2009? Focus on crystal clear music and information available for everybody. Thanks for your support Michael.

I’m now using my Blackberry (at this strange time at night) to visit your new website and… it’s fully BB-proof (meaning it just works fine! Okay, not an Apple-product I know, but still…

Great job you did and the last shows were fantastic (as always)! This year for a moment I thought you would stop the shows, but… you came back even better and more professional (could that be possible?) than before! Good to hear you are still up & running, so I’m looking forward to your new shows in 2009!!!

Also I hope you will produce some more ’sound-seeings’, I really like the combination of environmental/ambient sound and music it’s a great experience. Reminds me of some night radio-shows in the 80’s and 90’s which used this ‘technique’ too!

Fijne kerstdagen en een gelukkig 2009!

Regards,
Nick

Admin reply: cool e-mail address you’re using Nick, we had a great laughther about the ‘troep’ address; thanks for your comment, good to read.

Amazing music!!! Like always!!!
Spacemusic - Best music worldwide!
I wanted to let you know that my podcast is closing at the end of this year, because, I must find a new free host for my mp3’s.
So until december 29th you can download all my stuff from my homepage and in 2009 it will not be available anymore.

Link: mahavision.com/Mahavision/Podcast/Podcast.html

I want to start a new podcast in 2009, but with a new host and a new name!

Always keep up the excellent work!!!

Thanks for all the great inspiration

Admin Reply: Hi Mahabashi, it’s a pleasure reading your message in the guestbook, thank you for that and thank you for the inspiration you gave us too in 2008 ; looking forward to your new podcast/name; so please do keep us posted!

Please, at least let me know that you have recieved this message TC. I live in Raleigh, North Carolina by the way. Thanks again my brother!

TC Reply: Loud and clear Charles, thank you so much for your message in our guestbook, highly appreciated! I think the sending into ’space’ is very familiar, sounds like ‘connected’ and yet ‘free’ in the sense of ‘freedom’. From our side, you’re welcome, happy to hear the music and the show can reach this level, very sweet. Thanks for sharing that experience; keep listening to our podcast, enjoy life the max! ~TC

Long time listener here in Indiana, USA. First episode I remember listening to was episode #9 (still a fav). Was working a different job at the time and struggling in a lot of areas of my life. Being able to put on an episode of yours really helped me focus and relax.

Keep up the good work!

Brilliant start to Season 4 and excellent new look to the website. Just started listening in early 2008 and now hooked. The music you play has helped me through a difficult year, lost my job in February 2008 and out of work for a couple of months then lost a couple of relatives to cancer. Things on the up as I got a new job in April and then my first grandchild was born on August 7th 2008. Makes me feel a little old at 41! Life has been easier to deal with having Spacemusic to escape with when I need to relax.

Thanks TC. Keep up the good work.
God bless.

TC @ Matt ::: a Warm Hello Matt, thank you for signing our guestbook. Your story is really something we appreciate; so sorry to hear about losing your job, losing relatives. Sometimes life seems cruel but never stop believing and hoping; wonderful news about the first grandchild! Congrats! It’s all about balance you know, bad things will happen, good things will happen, it’s a struggle I know and therefore we do our Spacemusic podcast, to keep things ‘in the middle’, to survive and feel connected in some way with eachother; the music, the listeners, their stories, it all makes sense. Thank you so much for sharing your story Matt - I wish you all the best, love and light my friend! ~TC

Just wanted to say hello to you and Season 4 of Spacemusic I’ll be sending you a friend request on facebook as soon as i get on

Cheers,

ADMIN Reply: Hello Andrea, Lokin and Baby Abigail, it’s good to hear from you, I was missing you too to be honest, it’s so good to be back ‘on air’ via the podcast - it’s something that was starting to hurt honestly, we had the big move and behind-the-scenes technology feeding we had to take care of, now we’re back, 100%. Thanks for staying. We love you! `~TC

great show you did for years now! I’m every time impressed by your euphonic voice!

My girlfriend wants you to read stories to fall asleep at the evening ;).

Keep on chilling and making such nice and impressive mixes, hopefully for another 3 years or better for longer!

thanks
Stephan

Hi Stephan and girlfriend (name?) Thanks for the comment ; reading more stories might scare away some listeners …. so we’re very careful with that! The show will go on, it’s a continuing journey to boldly go where no podcast has gone before….(quote from Mr. Andy from our Guestbook) Have a nice flight!

Here’s to a prosperous and long lasting spacemusic.nl

ADMIN reply: Eric cheers! We appreciate your comment- busy or not, one needs music to charge the battery is main thing, so here we are how nice to hear about the match as I was recently thinking about my highschool time, I don’t even know how to do that complicated formulas again…. what a terrible thought as I used to spend like 3 hours a day doing math…. where is it? Still in the brain somewhere…?

SPACEMUSIC
“BOLDLY GOING WHERE NO PODCAST HAS GONE BEFORE”

Let the countdown to more great music commence.

Cheers to you TC for your hard work and all the other Ambient Addicts out there listening.

Hi TC,
thanks again for your wonderful podcast 3.12.
While I’m writing this I am listening for the 20th time ‘Miracle’: awesome song from an awesome group (will buy the album later).
I thought ‘Above & beyond’ were the best performers at the Lovefest in SFO some weeks ago.

Again, thanks much for your great work!!!

Love, peace and happiness
Tom

Hi there TC.

… only just discovered your show the other day and am now working my through the entire season 3.

What an excellent resource!!!

So much excellent music all in the same place.

I suppose I’ll have to forward some of my own for consideration in season 4.

Well done and many thanks,
Mick

ADMIN reply: Hi Mick, Australia and Ireland are quite distant from eachother, tell us, how do you manage? Enjoy all listening hours as there’s plenty of fuel for the mind , body and soul for you here. Keep it cool. Nice website you have and nice tunes too. Experimental atmospheres, perhaps something good for a future themed podcast we’ll do one day ~TC

Hello TC and other listeners of the spacemusic podcast. Thanks for the great work and interesting music. I always like your show both for the selection of great ambiant and for your narration, as well as the nice audio production you add through mixing and jingles. I mostly listen to it at work where it helps me to focus and to keep cool.

I’m a programmer and I also compose progressive / psytrance music on my spare time. Well, greetings from Toulouse, France, and looking forward listening to your next show. Thanks.

Yves.

Hi T.C.
I have just been listening, yet again, to one of your fantastic Spacemusic shows (3.12). It is the most wonderful collection of relaxing music, and as always, excellent quality in both content and sound. I have lots of your episodes on my iPod and I take much pleasure in listening to them. They help me relax at work and alsoin my private times. They are wonderful at helping me to relax from the pressures of work and take a moment to look at things differently, a new perspective!

I hope that YOUR shows go on forever just like when you asked the listeners to imagine music being available forever now that is in a more digital permanent format.

Please continue with your shows as I am sure that people all over the world are happier just being able to listen to your show even if it is for a single episode.

Many many thanks for these soundscapes and atmospheres.
Kindest regards, Andy

TC you have the best music shows on the internet. I know I and many other listeners would like to see how the Spacemusic and Freshair netcasts are recorded and put together. I remember that on some of the early Spacemusic shows you would incorporate some of your cooking or traveling. Please consider adding some video (maybe via Stickam) of you producing a show. I think it would be fantastic! The hard work you put into these netcasts, shows. Thanks.

Hi TC,

loved your interview with Jon Jenkins & David Helpling, which caused me to buy their excellent album!

Thanks for all your work!

Tom
Long-time listener

===

Admin reply: That’s really good to hear Tom, that makes us very happy! David and Jon can be proud of their album, they deserve this kind of support. Spread the words and enjoy your treasure album!

Jon Jenkins & David Helpling you are simply the best! Thanks for your’s great music and thanks to stuff of Spacemusic for this superb website.

Cheers to all from Slovenia, Alex

Nice show, 3.7! CU TC!!

$ervaas

Hi TC

thanks for pointing me in the direction of Jon Jenkins & David Helpling a couple months ago. I too listened to the Deep Exile podcast and downloaded Treasure from emusic, and you’re right, it is absolutely amazing! definitely one of the best albms i have come across lately…

thanks for the recommendation, and especially for the new interview!

–travis

===

Admin reply: Hi Travis, You’re welcome! The Treasure album is just what the title says….. a real one!

Hi TC,
“discovered” Spacemusic after buying myself an IPod and searching for cool music for my vacation in Gran Canaria. I was always atracted by spacy chill out music and I must say, the tracks you compile are really a delight. Especially #57, THE SHY, THE SAD AND THE BUSY is a good hour for spending on the hammock somewhere out there in space… Your comments and background info is also very welcome.

Thanks a lot for all that ! Please let me also criticize the spacemusic.nl site a little. I find it not very nicely done and also not very clearly and spacy arranged. Maybe you can do something about that, so it will better match the cool music you present so well.

Good Luck !!!
Your new fan
Alan

===

Admin reply: Well new fan, thanks for your message. Good to hear about the holiday destinations combined with the podcast. What about the site? Well, it matches the content in terms of content. For the rest, there’s simply no time to design and maintain a hi-tec website. Then again, the more simple the site looks the better we think it offers information.But of course, it’s a continuous process…… ~TC

Thanks to Spacemusic and Fresh Air for helping me towards a quick recovery from Csncer surgery. Without the podcasts I would not have been able to get thru the days and nights in the hospital bed. The power of Spacemusic is truly healing.

Thanks

===

Admin reply: Dear Michael,

Thank you for your message. We’re happy to hear about the recovery, and what a good thing to hear we could help you with our podcast! Fantastic feedback, very kind of you to let us know. We wish you all health and happiness for the future, keep listening and drop by whenever you want…Cheers Michael! ~ TC

I am absolutely speechless! 3.6 was an amazing Podcast. This ambient music is stimulating my brain, it feels like that i can touch the stars with my fingers!! (Like in a Dream)

I constantly listen to your spacemusic Podcast because its very Awesome!! I am listening to while working on my Computer for my study works or outside with my Ipod.

You are the Best TC! and your taste of music is fantastic.
Have a nice day - Greetings from Germany

Joe Hayden

===

Admin reply: Well Joe, what can we say; you seem to like the shows….thank you for your message!!! Keep listening and provide us with feedback whenever you feel like it, cheers! TC

I have been a fan since the original spacemusic #1….my how you have progressed - even you english is improving over the years. At this rate you will soon loose your Dutch accent ;-).

I am beyond amazed at the content available in the download spacemusic series 61-70. If any of you are reading this and haven’t purchased - I would highly recommend. TC - I didn’t think the quality and music selection could get better…I was wrong. Truly and amazing compilation. I look forward to future releases and hope you will continue to offer a multi-download option for future.

rDog

===

Admin reply: rDog, good to hear you’re still around and listening to our show - the NonStop Mixes for a few bucks yes, we’ll continue doing these and thanks for marketing the shows here in the guestbook. We try and make the mixes as hi-quality as possible!

…sitting in the kitchen waiting for the water to boil for some hot cocoa while the “winter mix” plinks against the windows. Spacemusic on the stereo, dogs sleeping on the floor, family listening and watching the winter storm hoping school is called off so we can enjoy these moments a little longer.
thank you for adding to the moment.

===

Admin reply: Torrey, thanks for sharing that moment with us ; it’s very nice to get a glimpse of what’s going on while listening

Think I’ve listened to just about everything you’ve done since spacemusic no 13. nearly 3 years ago!! As a body of work it really is astoundingly good and consistantly so too!!!

Wonderful tune picking, excellent production and a voice/personality that really does suit the genre.

Thankyou TC
Spacemusic is a gem.

Hi TC!

Wow, you weren’t kidding when H.U.V.A Network needed to be heard loud. Right when you said that I threw my headphones on and blasted it. AMAZING! I never thought I could feel so good, energized and chilled at the same time! Awesome stuff, man! Keep up the good work and Happy Belated New Year!

TC,

My wife and I gave each other ipods for Christmas, 2007 and we’ve been exploring the universe of podcasts ever since. We’ve been space music fans for over 20 years and finding your podcast was like a rain of manna from heaven. You do such a great job and obviously enjoy what you do too!

By the way, my wife’s grandfather was born in Hilversum, NL.

Keep introducing us to new music and stay well.
73,
Rod

===

Admin reply: Rod, what a great thing to hear! exploring the podcast universe and enjoying your iPods. This definately tells us more about our audience doesn’t it? People from all over the world, people at every age, it’s the music that connects us, the vibes, the atmosphere. We’re proud to welcome you to our show! What radio station can do the same? Stay tuned and feel free to send us comment anytime. Happy Listening Rod! - from Rotterdam, spacemusic.nl, TC

Hi TC,

i would like to say that i love your radioshow its absolutely awesome and you bring new producers which i have didnt know them before like Xerxes or Krister lInder and of course your productions.

Wish you all the best TC!!!

===

Admin reply: Thank You Joseph, the best whishes for you too! Good point of view by the way - promoting music via the podcast is the best thing to do, it’s good to see there’s so much of HQ music present. Aren’t we lucky to hear it? Isn’t a podcast the best invention since radio? So let’s start thinking from there. What’s the next thing we need to do more with podcasts? Indeed! Content!

TC and loyal readers/listeners,

I have been listening to Spacemusic Podcast since early in Season #1 and i am so glad you are still making these sessions. I even have the earlier sessions on a DVD that I listen to from time to time…and I promise never to share them with anyone since they are now illegal because of your regulations!

I am a bit disappointed that we don’t get as many creations as in earlier seasons, but I do understand the need to make a living! And you have a good career working as an Apple Consultant.

Please continue doing what you do best–and it is not ’selling’ Apple products to customers! THIS is what you do best, my friend!

Michael

===

Admin reply: Hey hey hey, nice to read such kind words. Thanks! I’d love to do full time podcasting things my friend but tell me, how does it pay the bills each month? -TC

Hello *TC*

My very first Spacemusic I ever downloaded was #54, Pandora’s Box. Feels like so long ago, yet it’s still one of my personal favorites.

Nevertheless, I’ve made sure to grab each and every one you release, and the third season of Spacemusic is wonderful. Driving home from work late last night listening to the first episode of Cool & Blended, I decided I had to leave you a comment with my thanks. Thank you for all your hard work, and thanks to the many incredible artists that are featured on the show.

Cheers!

===

Admin reply: …. and if you ever speak to people making great ambient/electronic/lounge music, please let them contact us : That’s the only way to keep this show online my friend. We’d love to continue promoting good music, that’s the reason for this show. So great hearing about our audience too enjoy your freedom - Spacemusic Team -

Thank you again. Love 3.2…

Have to agree with all the comments about the show. The quality of production is amazing, and very, very hard to beat.

Please keep them coming, looking forward to 3.3, and No. 70…

===

Admin reply: Well…. 3.3 is already out there and before you know you’ll be downloading Spacemusic #70 - comments are most welcome, send you greetings via e-nmail or audio comment. Cheers Simon!

Hey there TC!!

Just began listening to the SpaceMusic episode 3.2. Very good!! I noticed that there was someone who lives in Omaha, Nebraska; there is a small ambient scene. Where I live, it is similar, except the only ambient scene is via the SpaceMusic Podcast. Up to now, I have been listening to the Podcast for two months and have shown +17 people about it. They all love it.

Where would we be without you?

-Evan

===

Admin reply: Evan - nice to hear about the scene over there, you’re doing a good job! Many thanks from us here in Rotterdam. Stay tuned and send our greetings to all you’ve shown the podcast

Hi TC & Jordi,

Congratulations with your first Cool & Blended - Podcast. We like the enthusiasm of you both, with which you’re making the podcast.

P&L

===

Admin reply: Thanks! Jordi has some great musical taste and we’re very proud to welcome him on the show. More CB podcasts will be published very soon. Lots of positive comment coming in as we speak.

Hi TC, great show (spacemusic 3.1). Great to have you back after the summer shutdown.
Friday the 26th (MAC Leopard release) is almost here. When do you plan on upgrading or is that an automatic as an Apple employee. I’m sure you will have a very busy weekend ahead. Hang in there…..
Can’t wait for 3.2 to get posted…

warm regards,
DigiTube

===

Admin reply: It was a very busy week/weekend - but we had a great time with the release - back to podcasting as we speak ::: the new Spacemusic #69 nonstop®mix is on it’s way ::: Thank You DigiTube

Welcome back TC and best of luck in your new work. It was a wonderful surprise to find your new offering (SM 3.1) waiting on my computer. Great music and a great tribute to Blade Runner - thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for this film!

Here’s to your continued successes !

===

Admin reply: It’s good to see and hear my listeners again, thank you all for your support. keep me up to date about your experiences and ideas ok? It’s all about a few clicks from here

Hello TC, soundseeing - Rotterdam Thunderdome

Just listened to this, sounds like you had a few close shaves with those lightning strikes

Over here in England, i’m still waiting for my first storm of 2007. Many of them head across France and go in your direction. Bah

Really enjoying your Sunrise Sessions as well. It’s sunrise as i’m typing this, so i’ve got Session 2 in my headphones right now

I’ve discovered some fantastic artists through listening to spacemusic. Keep up the great work TC

Cheers, Steve

===

Admin reply: Steve, I’m glad we’ve had the BIG showers now; it’s all in the past and it’s a good thing. This year has brought us too many thunder storms. No I hate them. Really I do

Thanks for listening!

Hi TC,

First of all, may I add my own BIG thank you to the others posted here for your superb work. You are a credit to the online community.

I have recently completed listening to the first 60 episodes - so much to enjoy - and I will start to repay your hard work by purchasing the newer episodes.

One small request: Spacemusic #20 Bye bye Love - what is the name of the artist and track of the first item, at about 4m 11s into the episode? I know there is a track list near the end of the episode but I can’t quite make it out

Once again, many thanks. You’re a star.

===

Admin reply: This is the track you’re asking for: Blank & Jones - Desire (Ambient Mix)

I’ve been listening your music selection from a year ago, after listen to all your free shows, I think it’s time to bought music on the net, without physical support (cd our vinyl), for the first time.
I bought your shows (SPACEMUSIC (LIMITED EDITION) and SPACEMUSIC #68 - DIMENSIONAL SHIFT) and I find the same superb quality selection.

One suggestion: you could put a text file on the zip with the artist/track name to minimize misunderstood or “bad” track names

Thanks for your time, thanks for the best podcast on the net.

===

Admin reply: Dear Eduardo,

Thank you for your comment. We COULD put a text file into the package. However we won’t. We can see you bought the AAC package. Within the AAC file there’s a complete chapterlist with all artist names and track names. Plus you can click the links at the illustration screens to go and visit the websites of mosts artists….What more could you possibly want?….

Have fun listening!

TC, you must have a staff of thousands to find all this great music! It truly is a spectacular collection. Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!

===

Admin reply: I do….! That’s why we all have a Summer Break now. Stay tuned Donna. Unexpected things to be expected via the Spacemusic podcast - thank you for your kind words.

TC, this is fantastic! Hard to believe there is another free podcast out there from you! Not saying that I don’t like this one, but you know what I’ve always wanted to hear you produce?? an all uptempo podcast! I love taking the uptempo Spacemusic episodes and burning them to a CD for my car… they are perfect! Anyway, keep up the great work on this second endeavor!!

===

Admin reply: Whooooo! Another free CD for your collection; isn’t that wonderful? Don’t forget to thank the artists too Fresh Air is completely based on the best talented musicians in this genre. We appreciate you’re subscribed + enjoying the vibes Aaron, thanks!

I just recently discovered the Spacemusic podcast via Itunes and want to tell you how amazing it is!! I love it, I have downloaded every episode back to #25. I am writing my thesis at the moment, and Spacemusic puts me in the perfect headspace to really get in the zone. Thank you so much for excellent music and entertaining commentary. Keep up the good work TC!

===

Admin reply: Thank you for your support and comment - all the best in writing!

I just found your podcasts via iTunes this last week. They are fantastic!! I love the music *and* that you are podcasting from Rotterdam. I visited your city back in September. So beautiful & modern. The Erasmus Bridge is visually stunning. Hearing your voice between all that music makes me smile to remember the great time I had visiting there. Thanks again for all the fantastic mixes! I’m filling up my iPod with them. They help me relax at home and especially when traveling for work and being stuck in yet another hotel. Cheers from the U.S.A.! -Sam

===

Admin reply: Sam - how nice you were here in town! Erasmus Bridge is something impressive - however since a few weeks (beginning 2007) they do have purple lightening in the evening/ at night - one hardly sees the light from my house anymore :-((( And the funny thing is, it’s because of the fact rotterdam is City of Architecture 2007. When it’s dark, Rotterdam has no Erasmus Bridge anymore…

For the rest - all good - send e-mail when you’re planning to visit again!

TC: Thanks for another great episode. Spacemusic is the soundrack for the new millennium. My little girl is only 5 and asks to hear Spacemusic each night as she falls asleep. Its perfect. Keep up the great work in 2007!

===

Admin reply: Steve - so good to hear that! What’s her name? - we’ll play a song for her!

Dear TC thankyou for all you wonderful programmes…… they so enhance my life.. I download your lastest podcasts and now subsribe and can’t wait for your next programme.
Thankyou for the Xmas present! Spacemusic Xmas 2006! Best Wishes, Peace and love, Howard.

===

Admin reply: Howard - let’s join a wonderful 2007! - More Spacemusic activity planned for sure. Let’s go for better regulation regarding podcasts/music that can be played. It’s about time we can lift our system to a next level where podcasts are an important channel to check out new albums before going to the shop or order via internet… We don’t think this is a dream - we think record companies are sleeping!

I’m addicted to your shows…can’t stop to listen.
I’m a software developer and your music isolate myself in a kind of ‘quiet bubble’…program lines are flowing out of my mind like by magic.
Thank for that help , please continue…

===

Admin reply: After 64 episodes plus extra’s I think that must be an enormous program you’re making! Good to hear all this. Having received so many messages from people about working and programming with the music in the background, Spacemusic should consider itself as the most stimulating employer of the year… Stay online and watch out for more bubbles and lines Christophe.

All the best.
TC

hi tc happy new year!!
loved all your podcasts and whish you all the best for 2007… cant wait for the next one… mention me on your show as i love them!!

TC, have a great Christmas. Thanks for the gift show. As ever, great job.

Keep it up, looking forward to 2007, I still don’t mind paying the $1.99 for shows. It’s worth it and the price is fair. ( ignore the negative feedback, they don’t know what t hey are missing ! )

Take care and have a good one.

All the best from Canada !

Rich.

Looking forward to another year

TC,
i listened to the storm last night. what a fabulously trippy adventure. I love spacemusic keep up the good work. your truely,

mcmelon

I’ve been listening to your podcasts and have downloaded the majority of them. Bravo & kudos to you for great music to relax & enjoy doing anything to. I am a musician (guitar) and greatly enjoy listening to your program. It’s very uplifting and allows me to free mys elf from ’self’ , as well as the rest of the hectic, ultra-fast tempo of life. Thank you TC, you kick all forms of a**! Keep it going & keep on keeping on - well into space…..

martin

Have been listening for about a year now. All I can say is … your music is calm therapy to me. In this out-of-whack world we live in, it’s just nice to have a place to go to to forget the madness, and concentrate on the gladness. Will be listening and downloading your programs. God Bless you.

Love the music. Its just perfect.What can be better than enjoying a cool glass of wine ,listening to your music and looking out of my window at the magnificent autumnal colours.

The begining of the start of the winter chill.

Hey TC and Todd, just commenting on the OGG debate… but if you use OGG format files, then you are either using Linux/Unix or are at least familiar with Open Source software. It is quite easy to convert mp3 audio to whatever format you would like using basic open source tools.

===

Admin reply: Aaron - thank you for comment. We had a discussion about conversion of formats couple of months ago on the Spacemusic Libsyn website. I hope this will not start a new one here! Only wanted to give my comment on the OGG question in relation to paying for a show. And… a brief history about the format I’ve chosen to produce the show in. That’s pretty much all there is to mention.

The last thing I would like to see here is again an endless mp3/mp4/mpz/mpt/mpo/ohj/owr/ogg/m4a/mpeg67/xy9…. discussion… All will be deleted if that’s going to happen.

Thank you all for understanding,
TC

Sorry Todd, we deleted your comment by accident Still would like to give you a response

******

Todd - it all started with Spacemuisc podcasts in mp3 format 112kbps, 44Khz, stereo. Quality asked for raising the bitrate, so we switched to 128kbps. After some time, we wanted to introduce chapters and illustrations because that’s so much more of -interaction- and -communication- with the audience. Most of all , the AAC format offers more quality at the same bitrate! Tons of e-mail came in from people being thrilled with the AAC format, giving Spacemusic the option using chapters and pics. Now, don’t get us wrong, we even switched from AAC back to MP3 again for a while at the end of 2005. Not everyone was ready for AAC yet. COuple of episodes later we announced to switch to AAC for sure starting in 2006 and we did. It was a big succes and 98% of our listeners still are very excited with the format nowadays.

Now, as far as we know OGG format (?…) doesn’t bring any opportunity to include chapters and graphics? You know, we don’t even know how to spell it correctly, Ogg Vorbis that is. We don’t believe in Ogg to be kind of a Wold-standard in audio compressing. Mp3 and Mp4 really are better known and integrated / compatible with almost every system on this planet. Therefore, chances are kind of -zero- we’ll offer another format like Ogg. This is definately not on our wishlist right now. Hope this clears things up. And forgive us here, but what the heck does it matter ” now that people are paying for a show ” that we should introduce another format?! What’s the logic Todd? Really, do you get an extra bottle of wine at the market when you buy one bottle because this market has their slogan ” people must be thirsty - we always give them 2 bottles for the price of one ” Must be your imagination we guess…

cheers,
TC

I love the show TC. I hope your voice clears up; it’s the sound of spacemusic and I’d hate for us to lose it.
I felt the show was a lot more mellow this time around. That all good but I can’t help but feel you are just reponding to the listeners of spacemusic and their comments about last month’s show. You should continue to play what you want to play, that’s what we all feel in love with.

Keep up the good work!

===

Admin reply: Hudson - playing what I feel like playing? Don’t worry, already taken care of. Otherwise this Spacemusic show wouldn’t exist. Probably you were distracted by the fact the ‘Opera piece’ was introduced on Spacemusic #61 and not everyone liked that track. Let me tell you: too bad. Extra reason for Spacemusic to play what’s the motto here: music that surprises you, music that takes you on a trip, on a journey to places you’ve never been before. Don’t worry. Keep that in mind. Nobody rules. Nobody sets the tone but Spacemusic.nl And we’re happy people like the genre !!!

Hey TC. Just purchased episodes 61 and 62….finally. Thanks for getting the paypal link to work in english.

I’m loving episode 62 so far. That opening by Joe Frawley was amazing. Very haunting/moody piece. Going to have to get ahold of some of his works.

Anyway happy to be back in orbit and listening to Spacemusic once again. Take care.

Take care.

I have been listening to your broadcasting since the very first episodes of SpaceMusic. I feel I need to apologies for never giving you feedback until now while I’ve been enjoying the most excellent sounds you have been sharing with us. It is a lot of work and obviously takes massive skill to produce such incredible broadcasts! So, THANK YOU, thank you, thank you, for sticking to it and sharing your spirit. I have found new artists to enjoy thanks to your broadcasts, like James Bernard. I look forward to enjoying calmness during work, and being a computer technician I need that. Also, being an artist I find your sounds inspiring in the studio. Did I say thank you?…. Ok, I’ll stop… much appreciated. Namaste, Jesse from Phoenix, AZ.
