Timeless Slumber: A Collection of Ambient (Un)Classics
à ;Grumh – Bucarresse
Ryuichi Sakamoto – Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence
Sven Vath – The Birth of Robby
Chris Brann (Wamdue) – Pacific Shift Flux
D-Note – Deep Water
Roger Eno – Recalling Winter
Richard H. Kirk – Lagoon West
This is not a mix, just a collection of my favorite ambient tracks that have stood the test of time (and in their entirety). I have done a few guest hosts on the local radio for ambient shows in the 90’s, so I have plenty of ambient music, but most of it sounds dated to me. The Fax, Rising High, Reflective, etc stuff was very good, just sorta sounds like trance w/out beats or just boring drones now. These tracks though had more going for them, a more organic feel that kept my interest for their whole 8-13 minutes.
The à ;Grumh track comes from my late 80’s fascination with all things Wax Trax/Play It Again Sam!, and with such a crappy album comes this ambient gem “Bucarresse” that sticks in my head on repeat all these years later. The Chris Brann track is from a cassette promo from ’93 that showed he was destined for bigger better things. The D-note track is from a boring album, this piano/bass gem stuck out like a sore thumb. The Sven Vath track (not completely ambient) is haunting. And my all time fave ambient track, Richard H Kirk’s (of Cabaret Voltaire) “Lagoon West” could go on for an hour and I wouldn’t mind. I’ve got actual mix ideas coming up, just paused to share these ambient faves of mine.
Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence!!! O man, I have to listen to this just because you have that track in there! A melody that will never leave my mind. Some good ambient choices in the list here. On the downlaod!
Excellent mix! I totally enjoyed my journey all the way through! Some lovely analog in the mix. Great stuff man! Make more! You’re inspiring me to do an ambient mix!
Thanks guys! Everything runs in cycles, and ambient feels right now. Was also inspired by Orb Mix “Art of Chill 4” and the review of Mathew Hawtin’s “Once Again Again” mix. Can’t wait to hear what ambient music you guys have.
