A fusion of psychedelia, prog rock, ambience, and pure dreamy pop creates something greater than the sum of its parts: a monument to the creativity and vision of songwriter Martin Kennedy in the control room of the band since its inception.
All India Radio’s music is of the stars - celestial musings comprised of crystalline guitars and sweeping synths, creating sounds and vistas that are ethereal and immersive.

Kennedy does not hide the source code for his inspiration: All India Radio covered Pink Floyd’s ‘Set The Controls for the Heart of The Sun’ in the album ‘Afterworld’ and used artwork by veteran British artist David A Hardy, originally intended to grace the cover of what was to become ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, for the album ‘Space’. But result is no derivative pastiche or carbon copy: All India Radio have carved out their own breathtakingly beautiful path in the field of ambient pop.

The strength of the band and of Kennedy himself is augmented by the ability to bring out the best in others through collaborations. For example, his album 2021 album ‘Jupiter 13’ with iconic indie star Steve Kilbey from The Church was listed by UK magazine Backseat Mafia as one of the best albums of 2021.

Kennedy has also collaborated with prog metal legend Devin Townsend who appeared as a guest on All India Radio’s most recent release ‘Afterworld’ along with Graham Lee (The Triffids), classical guitarist Gareth Koch (Steve Kilbey) and Tasmanian singer songwriter Sasquin.

In turn, Kennedy has been drawn into Townsend’s orbit after Townsend fell in love with All India Radio’s album ’The Slow Light’ and the song “Can You Hear The Sound’, which he covered as part of his Quarantine Project in 2020.

I never would have discovered this song had it not been for Pandora. Awesome track to relax to.

Yesterday I went to sleep with my laptop shut with this tab open. Last night while I was in a deep sleep my laptop decided to wake itself up and play this song. I don't even remember what happened, but before my conscious took over and woke me up, I was tripping out in my dream to this song. I really wish I could remember what happened, because after I woke up and shut off my laptop, all I could think was, "Holy shit that was awesome." Thank you guys for making this awesome music.

thanks! This track was recorded a long time ago on an 8 track machine which forced me to be sparing and sparse. Nowadays you can put too much stuff into songs!

Sounds like stealth music in Metal Gear Solid 2. I hear this at work all the time on Pandora, love it.

Absolutely love that first guitar that kicks in for the melody. That part always gets stuck in my head and I occasionally start singing it in my apartment when working in the kitchen. Also I enjoy the slightly lower fidelity of the mix. Perhaps that's how this track got the name? I could keep going about all of the additional things that I love about this particular track but that would probably get on the lengthy side.

Jordan Strom thanks Jordan. You might already know but much of this track was lost before I had finished it and it existed only on a cassette tape, so I had to rebuild it from that, and yes that’s exactly where the title came from!

Matthew Crom

Definitely in my top 3. keep up the good work. I didn't think people still made this awesome style of music.

Jamie Dudley

I love listening to your music when I am cruising through the desert or up in the mountains! I found you through my Zero 7 station on Pandora. Best station ever!!!

All India Radio - Australian band

J Dee hey thanks! I know the Zero 7 station. Sadly we no longer get Pandora here in Australia

OK, this is great stuff. Thoughtfully composed. Does anybody know the range of the low frequency sweeps at the end? My poor subwoofer. Thanks Pandora for playing this. I actually stopped and listened.

absolutely AWESOME song. I think i saw the space needle in there, and the monorail, and the monorail trains. I'm wondering if this was all Seattle photography. Not far from where I live. :)

@dzhaughn we played in Seattle in 2007 (we're from Australia) and I loved it, especially the architecture :)

This is one of those rare songs that people rarely get the pleasure of having made. Far beyond 99% of anything else I've heard in a long time. It has that super hard-to-find quality of immediately putting the mind to ease completely and instantly every time no matter what. You guys should be proud.

Pandora must be one of the greatest resources the music community has ever created! I have found so many different genres and artists through Pandora! The box has been opened! Oh and yes this song = sex xD

@babajv thanks babajv, glad you like it :)

Very cool video. Abstract. Nice track.

Hey dont mind if i ask but is this a remix of Chico Groove from Amores Perros, i am asking because i was hearing one of your playlist and this came up an reminded me of the movie its been a while since ive seen the movie but it hit me good remix if it is.

Pepe Is here

@All India Radio - Australian band ok i figured because it sounds the same, and also in the album permanent evolutions it says that the tracks are remixes of films from 1996-2000 maybe i got it wrong ,but good music i was playing minecraft while listening to mexicola and this came up.

All India Radio - Australian band

Pepe Is here that’s very interesting! Not it’s not a remix. I haven’t heard Chivo Groove before, but the similarity is there! I wrote and recorded my song in 1999 even though it wasn’t released until a few years later.

@allindiaradio I think Seattlites think of it that area as a bit kitch; we're prouder of the Market. But it is sort of a monument to a Future of the Past. The music fits that sort of lost innocence. Your color palette is spot on, too, for the odd sunny winter's day, here. I'm guessing you do this yourselves? (As you made the 4-3 video.)
