Best of Planetarium 2022, Pt. 1

feldhus 2 Comments

Yes, you read that right. The Planetarium clock is a year behind everyone else. It’s still hard to catch up to recent releases, but a thorough search hopefully resulted in a best-of selection that captures the essence of Planetarium, ambient, modern classical and atmospheric electronic music in 2022. These 22 tracks are all from the first half of that year. Six of them are debuts, the rest are replays from previous or forthcoming, already produced mixes.
