Tune into hour three for a mini-tribute to the Solar Eclipse (which is as close as I'll get to seeing one for the next few decades, most likely). Plus unexpected new music from Cindy Lee, a throwback to Sandro Perri, alphabetical ambiance from Kilometre Club, and other sounds for a sunny Monday morning in Calgary.Playlist: Keiichi Suzuki, Hirokazu Tanaka - You've Come Far NESKelly Moran - Dancer PolynomialsAnne Nikitin, Hannah Peel - A Royal StatementMichael Peter Olsen - So Far So GoodGregory Allison - Veritas (Tristan de Liège Rework)Kilometre Club, featuring Hollie Kenniff - AirlinerJilk - Kayla AsleepShabason, Krgovich, Sage - JoeZeta II Reticulli - teacozy 3Apta - Emerge (The Hardy Tree Remix)Mort Garson - Concerto for Philodendron & PothosKamasi Washington, featuring André 3000 - Dream StateKhruangbin - Fifteen Fifty-ThreeGlass Beams - MahalMort Garson - PlantasiaValebol - La PulpaMort Garson - Symphony for a Spider PlantSandro Perri - Family TreeSandro Perri - Love is RealRaf Wilcot - SlitherLoving - On My Way to YouPenny Arcade - JonaJulia Holter - Sun GirlMichael Boddicker - Buckaroo Bonzai End CreditsThe Sun Ra Quartet, featuring John Gilmore - When There Is No SunShana Cleveland - Invisible When the Sun LeavesJacco Gardner - EclipsePossum - Dance of the EclipseDaisy Rickman - Golden SeedsCindy Lee - Government ChequeA.

No pranks, no jokes, just a serene start to April 2024. Three hours of offbeat easy listening, with a throwback to Tangerine Dream, new music from Kiasmos, Fuubutsushi, and TEKE::TEKE, international oddities, and other sounds to start the day/week/month on the right foot.Playlist: Fuubutsushi - Tenel Ka (First Crush)OHMA - mama’s kneeHochzeitskapelle - Silver RiderBuildings and Food - sky-dTest Card - Super 8 Sunsetsub lumen - Pick Pop SciPlains Apparitions, Light Blending In - Outside the UniverseFour Tet - So BluePOSTNAMERS - Mirthpeal and RosesThe Hillside Project - Sparkler Dims - Josh Semans ReworkKiasmos - FlownBilal Nasser - Say NothingSix Organs Of Admittance - New Year’s SongClaudio Rocchi - Tutti insiemeLibra Rising - Over the FieldsJungle By Night - The Green in Your DreamsTangerine Dream - No Man’s LandMorricone Youth, Devon Jon Goldberg - Method ActingKifu Mitsuhashi & Kiyoshi Yamaya - Hohai-BushiTEKE::TEKE - BankrobberVarious Artists, featuring Guess What - Stickle BricksThe Analog Girl - ZodiacKlaus Johann Grobe - Better DoSunglaciers - CursedCorridor - Mourir DemainCoco - Mythological ManPatti Whipp - Walkin’Dolce - LögnenCedric Noel - SessionsBill MacKay - Powder Mill ParkEric Chenaux Trio - This Ain’t Life

Trying my best to find the beauty in the wintry weather, exploring glacial sounds in the third hour of this week's AM. Before that, still a bit chilly, with icy synth-pop, interstellar electronics, and a little bit of warm-blooded jazz just to keep things balanced.

Taking inspiration from The Holdovers, the second hour of this week's AM digs into '60s and '70s singer-songwriter fare—and the music it inspired. And, of course, your usual mix of Monday morning sounds, from ambient electronics to soul-jazz excursions, folk-rock ditties and unclassifiable but soul-soothing sounds.Playlist: Nick Schofield - On AirGeotic - The GoingBenny Benji - After the Farmer’s WifeRooster37 - Champagne of LifeMorgan Greenwood - PomegranateEl Perro Del Mar - The Truth the Dead KnowDrum & Lace - SistersMichael Vincent Waller - For Pauline - Yu Su Remix1900 - Den minsta av segrarFolke Nikanor - E4an två milThe Hylozoists - The Crippled GiantMark Orton - Candlepin BowlingBaby Rose, Badbadnotgood - One Last DanceFortunato Durutti Marinetti - The FlowersLeonard Cohen - Sing Another Song BoysThe Brazda Brothers - GeminiJim O'Rourke - Friends With BenefitsJim O'Rourke - Last YearLoving - The Light In YouKaren Dalton - Right, Wrong Or ReadyMargo Guryan - Why Do I CryBill Fay Group - Just a MoonYuma Abe - Fuyo GoeIbelisse Guardia Ferragutti, Frank Rosaly - DestejerWITCH - Message from WITCHEthnic Heritage Ensemble - The Whole WorldJahari Massamba Unit (Madlib & Kariem Riggins) - Stomping GamayNolan Potter's Nightmare Band - MellificationGal Gracen - Winds of Solace, Pillars of SandN NAO - PangéeOra Cogan - Is Anything WrongFila Brazillia - Sugarplum HairnetOsmanthus - Bloom

The first two hours of this week's AM dip in and out of neo-classical, experimental jazz, and other instrumental sounds. Hour three shakes off the drowsiness for some dream-pop, shoegaze, and a Deftones cover for good measure.

Hope the Daylight Savings didn't hit you too hard this morning, and enjoy the extra sunshine.Playlist: nubo, featuring Rebekah Reid - For Our HeartsMoshimoss - Unknown SoulsJoseph Shabason - AytcheSagor & Swing - Vals På VingarGODTET - Struck Bamboo PipesAkusmi - Oblique (Extended)Markus Floats - DeathBristol Manor - Personal GainsGidge - The Fellsgum.mp3, featuring 48thSt + Harrison - Mars and Its MoonsNalepa - It Ought to BeHana Stretton - Captain’s FlatAwenda Provincial Park - quarrel, my loveShahzad Ismaily, Arooj Aftab, Vijay Iyer - SajniLabelle - L’homme félinHaiku Salut - Bleak and Beautiful (All Things)Haiku Salut - Foreign PollenBuildings & Food - Swimming in DentonErika Angell - Never Tried to RunBell Orchestre - Icicles / BicyclesPeter Belec, Jeff Roy - StardustL.A.
