<span style="font-weight: bold;">Elegies </span>are born when <span style="font-weight: bold;">beauty meets sadness.</span> Elegies are <span style="font-weight: bold;">melodic </span>but not simple, are <span style="font-weight: bold;">beautiful </span>but not naive, are <span style="font-weight: bold;">moving </span>but not schmaltzy. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schwingungen </span>was a wonderful place to discover such electronic elegies, a few of which I have tried to compile <span style="font-weight: bold;">in a series of 5 albums</span>. <br />

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></div>To me, <span style="font-weight: bold;">two distinct styles represent the essence of Radio Schwingungen</span>: (1) <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cosmic/space music</span>, and (2) <span style="font-weight: bold;">melodic elegies</span>. Then there's a <span style="font-weight: bold;">third stream</span> which (in my humble opinion) <span style="font-weight: bold;">ruined </span>Schwingungen: <span style="font-weight: bold;">superficial melodic new age </span>instrumental music - or, as I prefer to call it, Schlager without words. Anyway, I have compiled some of best tracks from (1) and (2) and here we go:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sternenmusik </span>features some<span style="font-weight: bold;"> essential space music,</span> or music for stargazing or however you'd like to call this type of music mostly associated with the likes of Michael Stearns and Steve Roach. For the being I've <span style="font-weight: bold;">excluded the cosmic music</span> stream because it's far too big and complex stream to be covered in a single compilation. <br>
<br>

For the time being we <span style="font-weight: bold;">have to stick to the top 3</span>, but we're working hard to make the full top 20 selection available sometime in the future.</p>
<p>Further, on <span style="font-weight: bold;">our sidebars, please find some technical gadgets & service information</span>:</p>
<p>(a) Our new <span style="font-weight: bold;">"RockIt" Audioblog Search Engine</span>: On the basis of our 160 favourite sharity blogs we've created a Google Custom Search Engine exclusively searching downloadable audio blogs (range: krautrock, electronic, jazz, weird, avantgarde, contemporary classical etc.)</p>
<p>(b) <span style="font-weight: bold;">Schwingungen title melodies</span>: Using our <span style="font-weight: bold;">embedded audio player</span> (requires Flash) you will be able to listen to Schwingungen's two signature tunes: (i) Harald Grosskopf's So weit so gut (used from 1984 to 1993 or so) and (ii) Michael Garrison's Departure.</p>
<p>(c) There's a massive <span style="font-weight: bold;">directory of links </span>to other sharity blogs, mail-orders, record labels and electronic artists from that era.</p>
Enjoy!

This is <strong>Adam Eleven</strong> from <a href="http://orpheusrecords.blogspot.com/">Orpheus Music: The Electronic Music Time Machine</a> where I present vintage, commercially neglected electronic music from Pierre Henry to Roland Kayn. </div><div align="justify">In this side project, I will revive the nostalgic days when "Schwingungen" was still on the air, and when your Thursday evenings/nights were dedicated to electronic musings.</p></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><p>"Schwingungen" was quite a popular radio show on the West German Radio (<strong>WDR</strong>=Westdeutscher Rundfunk), moderated by <strong>Winfrid Trenkler</strong>. It ran between 1984 and 1995 and focussed on "popular/mainstream" electronic music - something in between new age & melodic stuff (<strong>J.M. Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis</strong>), but with occassional outings to more abstract and "experimental" stuff like <strong>Conrad Schnitzler and the early Ralph Lundsten</strong>. At this time, Schwingungen was more or less the only source of this type of electronic music (or even any electronics) on the Radio (outside the U.S.). But it wasn't just an conventional outlet of electronic music; Winfrid left no stone unturned to produce exclusive background content on the "scene": for instance, he visited <strong>Vangelis</strong> for an extended interview in his Hotel studio in Paris & <strong>Ralph Lundsten</strong> on his penninsula just outside Stockholm; Klaus Schulze & Tangerine Dream were regular visitors in Winfrid's Cologne studio; and there were even exclusive radio concerts with <strong>Ashra, Klaus Schulze</strong> and a bunch of others.</p></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><p>To make a long story short, this whole thing got me into electronic music. Although I'm not into the rather cheesy & plain Schwingungen stuff any longer (I nowadays prefer <strong>Xenakis'</strong> UPIC noise, <strong>Kayn's</strong> cybernetic madness, <strong>Pousseur's</strong> idosyncratic oscillations & <strong>Henry's</strong> sonic savageness) - I still enjoy a nostalgic dose of melody from time to time, and thought it would be high time to pay tribute to the once leading electronic show in Europe.</p></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><p>We'll I stop waffling in a minute. The purpose of this blog is to bring you some music from this era, plus some background info (interviews with Winfrid Trenkler and so on). The plan is like this: In the course of the next few months or so I'm going to post most of the top-twenty entries of the <strong>ten annual<stong> plus one "all-time" polls.</p></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong></strong></div><div align="justify"><strong></strong></div><div align="justify">I don't have a definite release schedule so far, but this is likely to get rolling in November - so <strong>subscribe to my RSS and stay tuned to Radio Schwingungen.</strong></div><p>
