This is the end of the Hydrogen Cafe. I don't really have the motivation or the muse to do it anymore. Thanks to everyone who listened and to all who made such positive comments over the years.

Sad to hear that, but thanks for all what you did in the past. I've been one of the silent followers of your output and always enjoyed it.
Sad news, but I understand you were thinking this for a while and don't blame you if the ruse isn't there. This blog was one of my major inspirations to make ambient mixes myself. I hope you keep it online so at least fans can remember your efforts and make new ones. :)
Really sad news. I really liked your mixes and was really looking forward to "Music for Stargazing Vol 3". But I understand your position and just wanted to say thanks for everything. :(
I'm saddened for sure. As, like one other stated, your 'Music For Stargazing' series was just great. I really enjoyed what you did, and I thank you for sharing it with us!! Good luck with your endeavors.
This is such a shame. I first started listening to this blog when i was 17 and it was mostly responsible for getting me into ambient music. 'Book Of Dreams' is an amazing mix i still listen to and remember. 'A Perfect Rainy Day Thinking of Old Memories'
is still in my 2 gig mp3 player today!
Thankyou for the many fantastic mixes over the years.
:( sad to see the end after all these years but everything has to end sooner or later
all the best with the future and thanks for those amazing mixes
take care :D
Nooooooooo! I just read your post about stopping. We love you here in NYC, we will miss your awesome mixes. Don't give u making music, you have touched more hearts than you know, and inspired me to make music again!

Sincerest thanks for all the time and effort spent on creating these mixes, your work will be sorely missed.
I just found your blog, its wonderful and thank-you for posting the audio.
I am sorry you are closing shop.
Thank you so much for all of the beautiful, deep and wonderfil mixes.
I listen to them often.
Be well and be happy in whatever you do in the future.
Muchas gracias por tu trabajo y esfuerzo, y por acercarnos esta maravillosa musica a través de tus mezclas.Espero que encuentres algo que te inspire para tu nueva etapa, pero tus musicas permaneceran en mi coleccion.
Un saludo y suerte.
This is a very bad news... I've enjoyed your blog and your mixes for a long time, and I'm very sad that you stop them...
): es una lástima
tu blog es uno de los mejores blogs de musica ambiental que he encontrado
tus mezclas son increibles, no habia
espero que cambies de parecer
i hope u change ur mind
greets from mexico
Damn. Sorry to hear it. Hadn't been back here in awhile since there weren't any current updates. You, Low Light Mixes, and Sleepbot have made me spend a ton of money on CDs that I probably would have never heard.
You say it's the end. Well here's hoping after being away from it for some time you find the strength and drive to do it again. You really did some stellar mixes and I appreciate all of your hard work.
As they say "Everything that has a beginning... has an end." But that end is a new beginning as well. Here's to you... looking forward to some day hearing your mixes again. Thanks...

I once pay for a cup of coffee, like $20, but the coffee was delicious, it was so delicious that I almost cry when I finish ;D
THANK YOU for providing great art over the years. Please keep those little milestones online.
I wish you all the best.

l feel like l am talking to the ghost in the machine,you may never see this post but l had to say thanks for the very fine mixes and wish you well ...may the star always shine in your backyard
I, like many others have followed this blog for years. I've checked in on it from time to time, always enjoying your work.
But this time...to see it long gone, makes me feel like I missed something beautiful passing in the night.
Your mixes helped me write when I could not and hope that someday I would produce something as fueled organically as your work.
You will not be forgotten,
Devin
I would really like your post ,it would really explain each and every point clearly well thanks for sharing.

Cannot thank you enough XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I still check back here sometimes in hope that you are once again posting amazing mixes. We miss you!
I remember getting into your mixes, you really helped me get into a lot of different music that I wouldn't listen to in a million years. It helped me through some tough times and then some. Here is for hoping that one day you will continue to do what you do because judging by the other comments, we all appreciate your work. While I didn't check your blog every day, I did a few times a year and I just found out about all of this; I will continue to do so hoping that I will get lucky. Whatever happens, you and this blog will not be forgotten.
Farewell,
-Alex
P.S. For now!!
Thanks for the memories mate, Tea Time at Brian Eno's House still gets regular outings.
All efforts much appreciated.
BUT
how can I get those mixes?
i try to download them from here but..
the only one i got is Dharma Bums - and its amazing..
please, somebody who can share - let mi know
your ever well-wisher

Had my iPod on shuffle and "The Dharma Bums" came across. What a good mix. Miss your work and I hope you're still doing well.
Sleepbot just started playing "Book of Dreams", one of your mixes from 2006; there is much that is lost even in 2014.
If anyone wants any of these old mixes, I still have them all. You can feel free to contact me at tonepoetry(at)gmail(dot)com. I can load them in a cloud for downloading.
I did a tribute to you show. You can find it here: http://ambient-transmission.blogspot.com/2016/08/music-for-stargazing-tribute-to.html
Thanks for what you did, and what you were. Peace.

just over 3000 days later and i still find myself coming back to what was (^.^)
Your mixes left a dent in the Universe.
These mixes are the reason why I started doing my own.
For anyone coming back here, the old hard drive that I had with all of the mixes crashed years ago, no saving it (I tried). I did, however, find an old iPod (4th generation, I believe) that has the mixes on them. Uncovered that today. I have to go through a ton of folders (over 100 gigabytes) of music to find them. I believe that I have them all (?). I'll host them somehow on my blog (https://tonepoet.podbean.com) in some way, it'll take me a week to sort out and find them on the player. Peace.
That's fantastic news tonepoetry! I found Hydrogen Cafe so late in the game many of the mixes were already offline. Heard a few select cuts on Sleepbot.
I have found and resurrected all of the podcasts from Hydrogen Cafe and will at some point recreate the blog and have the mixes uploaded onto Podbean. If you would like the audio for this, contact me at tonepoetry(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm sure that you can figure this out. Peace.
