Motte and Bailey - Episode May 16, 2026

This week, part two of the NCRA award celebration! This time, a look at some of my favorite artists that shaped the sound of the early days of this show. On the Motte: Ambient with a hint of electronica at the end. On the Bailey: Calming jazz that slowly gets warped into wild free improvisation and metal.Playlist: 1958-2009 - A2Ariel Ulysses - 1:19:10 + 1:22:56 (original concept)Desolatum - spiralConcrete Cedars - For Those Who Live In ApartmentsEine Kleine China - Zugzwangsub lumen - Fireflies OilA Pact Between Strangers - Sowbuddywudd - DJ Tomand RenallAline's étoile magique - SegmentYlang Ylang - DamageKalia Vandever - Hubbard RoadEsbjorn Svensson Trio - Premonition II.
