This week we\u2019ll be listening to a mix of breath taking music from the Boards of Canada<\/a>, Nalepa<\/a>, Vector Lovers<\/a> and much, much more.<\/p>\n

This mix was originally released on Praketh\u2019s Blue Orb<\/a> podcast and, sadly, is no longer available for download. But the music is so beautiful that I asked Praketh, the record labels and artists if I could share the mix with you on this week\u2019s solipsistic NATION<\/b>. Happily, they all said yes.<\/p>\n

As I said, the original mix is no longer available and that\u2019s got me thinking about the shows I release on solipsistic NATION<\/b>. Each podcast is, ultimately, disposable media.<\/p>\n

Let me explain what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n

I spend hours putting these shows together and each week you download the latest edition of solipsistic NATION<\/b>, listen to it, and then delete from your computer or MP3 player. I\u2019m not complaining. I do the same thing.<\/p>\n

But when I downloaded Praketh\u2019s podcast I was so enchanted with his mix that I never deleted it. In fact, I\u2019ve set the alarm clock on my computer to wake me up to this mix each morning.<\/p>\n

A good DJ will take you on a journey when they put together a mix of music and this show has everything: it\u2019s gentle, sweet, melancholy, joyful and spiritual. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
