This episode will take some explaining lol. Last week I was browsing online and found a fantastic playlist of Russian shoegaze/math rock (credit to meritolly on YouTube) and got totally obsessed, so a lot of this playlist will be in Cyrillic! I couldn’t just leave it there though, so I packed this weeks show with tons of other international shoegaze, Midwest emo, and math rock.

Alright, this one will take some explaining. As you'll hear at the top of this ep, the archival tool I use to pull episodes off the radio went down, meaning The Lunar Orbit 2023 Christmas Extravaganza has been lost to time....But, I didn't want to leave you with nothing during the holidays, so I've pulled the only previous Christmas episode I have saved, way back from when I first started the show on the radio - this is the 2020 Lunar Orbit Christmas Special.  It's a little rougher than my newer shows, but I still love it all the same - lots of Christmas spirt, and holiday energy. The ep is full of ambient music, coupled with some post-ish or out there covers of Christmas classic. I also have included a special broadcast from some of earths favorite astronauts wishing everyone on earth a Merry Christmas.  I can't tell you how sad I am to have lost the 2023 episode - but I hope this makes up for it! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and I will be back after the New Year with more new episodes!  Playlist:  "Apollo 8's Christmas Eve Message" arranged by Matthew TietjeBill Vencil as Chords of Orion "Lonely as a Cloud"  Bill Vencil as Chords of Orion "Ambient Porch Music"  Michiru Oshima "Amazing Grace" from the "Sora no Woto" Original SoundtrackLow "Little Drummer Boy" from ChristmasExplosions In the Sky, Brian Reitzell & Justin Stanley "The Sky Above, The Field Below" from Friday Night Lights (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)Lowercase Noises "Stars" from MarshallDavid Crowder Band "Silent Night" from Oh for JoyHammock "Mute Angels" from Departure SongsWhere the Good Way Lies "Breathe" from The Wonder of It All - SingleThis Will Destroy You "They Move on Tracks of Never - Ending Light" from This Will Destroy YouKings (MHM) "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus" from Joy Has Dawned - EPDo Make Say Think "107 Reasons Why" from Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret HymnWhen the Clouds "November Song" from The Longed-For SeasonDavid Crowder Band "Go, Tell It On the Mountain" from Oh for JoyHammock "Winter Light (2015 Remaster)" from Kenotic (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) [Remastered]Lowercase Noises "A Highway Shall Be There" from Carry Us All AwayThe Eagle and Child "What Child Is This (feat.

A winter themed show this week! Lots of chill, cozy, atmospheric vibes perfect for a hazy winter walk or some contemplation by the fire. A lot of music in this genre can evoke a calm, slower atmosphere which, to me at least, feels perfectly suited to winter, but I made sure to get some music with that holiday chime as well. Hope you enjoy listening!  Playlist:Old Solar "Your Goodness & Mercy" from Quiet Prayers (Redux) - EPExplosions In the Sky "Climbing Bear" from Big Bend (An Original Soundtrack for Public Television)False Horizon "Walking Barefoot on Grass" from Transitionrhubiqs "Motifs in F# Major" from Motifs in F# Major - SingleMesozoic "A Slow Success" from We Create Because All Will EndPillars "Of Salt and Sea" from Of Salt and SeaCodes In the Clouds "Sixes and Seventeens" from Codes in the CloudsMooncake "Chess Knight" from Zaris.Less.Is.More.

This episode is a weird mix of genres, I’ve been officially influenced by a popular music podcast, and became a fan of psychedelic German rock from the 70s. Then, there are the ambient bands I didn’t get to on last week’s show. Then I’ve been listening to heavy-post blues. Then to top it all off, Inon Zur and the Bethesda Boys drop one of the best ambient albums of the year with the Starfield soundtrack!

Out of the office this week, so bringing a re-run of our Best of 2022 show! A (very incomplete) list of some of the best post-rock that was released last year!  I have tried to make this a list of both some of the biggest releases of last year like Russian Circles “Gnosis", and El Ten Eleven’s “New Year’s Eve”, and some of my favorites like Deer Park Ranger, hubris., and Guilt & The Bear. This is an extremely incomplete list, but the most I could squeeze into two hours! 2022 was a VERY good year for post-rock releases, and it doesn’t even touch on all the fantastic ambient or math-rock music we got last year.Playlist:  El Ten Eleven "New Year's Eve" from New Year's EveGod Is an Astronaut "Coda (Live 20 Year Anniversary Release)" from The Beginning of the End (Live 20 Year Anniversary Release)Hiroe "Black Mountain" from Wrought - EPDeer Park Ranger "Five Corners" from Tamalpaishubris.
