Hi Bright. Cheers from Chile.

Just a few days ago I discovered your great Quiet Music blog looking for Ron Boots music.
I felt dissappointed because all the links were dead.
Then I noticed that a new site would open soon and now I'm a happy member of this community.

I'm a long time fan of Electronic Music (I'm 47), specially the sequenced Berlin School and Traditional Electronic genres and I have the feeling that this would soon become the greatest site for New Age music. It's already promising.

Congratulations and keep the good work.

P.D. As I mentioned above, I have tons of Berlin School and Traditional Electronic music.
Please, tell me in which category I have to place them as it's not so clear for me. Maybe new categories are to be created? I just can't wait to start posting, so please reply soon.

Regards,

Gambetis.

Whaou! Happy to see you back with "Quiet Melodies". Sure! it's a Wonderfull site. So, Thanks for Your Very Very Good Work and long Life for All the Community!

Frogmen,
Thank you so much! That is very high praise coming from you!

gambetis,
Welcome! Is great to see that people from all over the world have good taste in music =-). I'll add Ron Boots to the request list and see what I can do about getting the ones that were on QuietMusic online here.

In regards to which category you can post to, I'll create one specifically for the Berlin School Electronic stuff. That way there will be no confusion =-). Thank you once again for all the kind words, really looking forward to seeing what you post!

le croquebinaire,
Great to see you here! Thank you very much for the kind wishes, I'm certain that with the quality of people we have here, the sky is the limit =-).

Hi Bright,
I'm so happy to see that you have already created the "Berlin School" category, but when I slide my mouse over that category, it says "music from artists that studied at the Berlin School of music".
With excerpts from Wikipedia and ideas from myself, I'll try to explain why that description is not properly right.
The Berlin School of electronic music, or just Berlin School, was a development of electronic music in the 1970s, shaped by Berlin-based artists like Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream and Ashra, among others. Being an outgrowth of Krautrock, Berlin School was so named because most of its early practitioners were based out of Berlin, Germany. The genre's identification with space music made it distinct from the more percussive and rhythm-oriented Düsseldorf School which included Can, Cluster, Kraftwerk, and Neu!.
The genre is sometimes considered a sub-branch of New Age or ambient, though it predates the widespread usage of both terms.
Although Berlin School music (or sequenced music) was originated in Germany, now has evolved into worldwide modern interpretations of the original 1970's sound, with a particular hotspot in England, The Netherlands, France and even in Spain, U.S.A., Poland, etc. Most modern styles still retain the same 'warm analogue' synth sound and progressive nature that is the basis of the genre. Notable artists of Berlin School include, among others:

Belgium:
* Syndromeda
Finland:
* Nemesis
Germany:
* Bernd Kistenmacher
* Frank Klare
* Mario Schonwalder
* Detlef Keller
* Rainbow Serpent
* Spyra
The Netherlands:
* Gert Emmens
* Dutch Space Mission
* Free System Projekt
* René Van Der Wouden
* Ron Boots
New Zealand:
* Rudy Adrian
Romania:
* Indra
Spain:
* Dom F. Scab
* Javi Canovas
United Kindgom:
* AirSculpture
* Ian Boddy
* Mark Shreeve
* Arc
* Arcane
* Ken Martin
* Omega Syndicate
* Radio Massacre International
* Redshift
* Syn
United States:
* Alpha Wave Movement
* Dweller at the Threshold
* Craig Padilla
Poland
* Adam Certamen Bownik

The above is a partial list. So please, change the Berlin School category so when I slide my mouse over it, it describes the following in honour to the pioneers:

"Berlin School music eg. Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Ashra"

Thanks in advance,

Gambetis.

Hallo Bright,
Congratulations with this result of your new side.
It looks great and so is yor taste for music.
I visit you every day, to look what you offered for new.
Thanks for all your work.

gambetis,
My apologies =-). As you can probably tell, I'm not all that conversant with the details behind the music itself. I suppose that all things considered it should be about the music and not who taught whom, but I do understand your passion. =-)

dolph,
Thank you so very much! Great to see you here! I'm trying very hard to make sure that new stuff gets posted at least once a day, if not more. So thank you for your faith =-).

Bright,

I know my request regarding the description for Berlin School category seems to be a minor thing, but my only intention was to clear things out, considering that the previous description could lead future posters to confusion as this type of music wasn't taught in any school from Berlin. It was so named just because pioneers playing this music were based out in this city of Germany.
Now the description really match the same terms of the rest ones.

Thanks Bright for been so patient and for making these changes so promptly.

And you're right, this is all a matter of passion, a passion for this kind of music.


Gambetis.

gambetis,
Thank you for explaining a little more in regards to why the change was so necessary. I agree whole heartedly that the description needed to be changed. Looking forward to seeing what you are able to share with our community. =-)

Bright, I just registered, and I love the new site. I was looking everywhere for FDLM stuff and now im a happy camper THANKS....

How do I upload some stuff? Give some back you know...

Grinchi

Grinchi,
Hi there and welcome! Glad you like the FDLM stuff available here =-). In regards to uploading stuff, the best way is to use a free hosting solution like RapidShare, MegaUpload, FileFactory and so on. I would suggest that you use Rapidshare, as the majority of our users have premium accounts with them. Once you have uploaded, all you need to do is read the post available here - http://quietmelodies.com/howtopost.html.

Thank you very much in advance, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you are able to share!

gambetis,
Thank you very much for that very good explanation of the Berlin school category. It was this kind genre that originally kindles my interest in new age music, and it still remains to this day. I have a few other artists I believe could be added to your list as well, but I will have to upload these in a couple of weeks as I haven't access to the original CDs right now.

And Bright, I think this site is coming more and more together for each and every day that goes by. I am very glad I found you and your links from avaxhome back in the days. The efforts your are putting into this site and building a healthy and thriving community really deserves a big thanks.

Flimmeren,
