Only posting this here because this week we're featuring Hypnos.   I normally send out updates of what's going on in the community about every other day - sometimes more sometimes less.

There's a lot of new community activity! Really well worth skimming all the way down if you have time!

Member of the day is Michael Meara / Somnarium. Working in "cold void space ambience or the warmer currents of classical ambient drift".  Check out the front page!

Feature of the Week is the Hypnos label and store.  Hypnos has been a favorite of mine for over a decade!  Check the front page and scroll down a bit.

Thanks for the update, John.   I was wondering what James Johnson had been up to lately.  I enjoyed his Entering Twilight and Forgotten places collab with Robert Scott Thompson from way back when.  With the amount of time he must been spending on his sample CDs, I could see how he might not have had much time left to work on his own music.
