The Artificial Lounge Group creates a relaxing sci-fi sound-
track to todays world. A thought that's expressed by members
tagging fitting music with 'artificial lounge' so it can appear in
the 'Artificial Lounge Radio' on Last.fm.

Eventhough the music you can hear in our station often sounds
similar to music marked as 'Inteligent Dance Music'. In most ca-
ses our radio isn't quite dancable, and it's less extreme. It's a sta-
tic mood, of a low paste that's merely enough to be headnodding
to, and the intelligence of it is ofcourse disputable. So 'Intelligent
Dance Music' Is not the right mark for our radio's sound but we
can use the term to describe a fragment of what we're looking for.

The easiest way to get to understand the radio we're creating is to
listen to it. So feel free to take a listen (click on the 'Artificial Loun-
ge' buttonbellow.).

Ofcourse everyone thinks different of what fits in or not. We can
and will not try to make a precise guideline for this vague descrip-
tion of sound. Yet, to retain the mood we've created, we should
try to addept on what's been tagged so far. Think of artists with the
likes of Boards of Canada, Tycho, Vesna, ISAN, Bola and Arovane.

Joining in, weither your tagging or not is positively encouraged.
But if you're tagging please do keep the description, as vague as
it is, in mind. For more details check our tag history and the
Group Connections List

Some small new (pretty different) Nicken-stuff: In Summer 2008 I first explored, how noises and random sounds can form to rhythm and go along with calm acoustic sounds. That concept took hold on me for some time. So here are three small pieces: Acoustic Sketches Enjoy...

I've started a small project. Maybe you can help me a little bit... Do you know a good instrumental version of a song? Sometimes instrumental versions are even better than the original songs (with lyrics). If you know one or find one some day then please send me a private message or better write it into the shoutbox here: link

Thanks Silben, you have good points. Especially about the "weekly top". I really do like that it is there. This is the first weekly top I've seen where Radiohead isn't #1, Beatles #2, NIN #3, you know what I mean? OK, so the talent emanates from the artists, but I think pulling people together helps to validate good work, for example, the way Impressionism validated Monet. Now I see the radio button for "Unique to this Group" (vs. Overall) and I'm not sure what the difference is ;-)

It's about the music here not about who comes up with the best name for it. Only the artists themselve can give a proper name to their work or chose not to. The Artificial lounge tag is only a tool to create a radio station. the group is only a tool to share it with people who are looking for such a radio station. I'm not sure if I did but if I claimed the name to be anything more I was wrong. My full response is on your website.

I'm not the leader of this group anymore, cause I don't see much use for it, I guess anyone can become a leader now but never mind. I will keep up the tagging for a relaxing radio station, that's what it's all about with this group anyway. let's never stop lounging :)
