 Possibly you remember it from your passage thru the 90's -- the phrase Chill Out or Die? The chill out rooms of parties past took on the task of lowering your racing heartbeat and temperature and pulling you back from the brink … the best audio for that purpose was generally deep-space chilled ambient, and that may be what most folks think of if they think of ambient at all. The two ambient mixes I made for BeatConscious back in 2004 were in that deep-space mode, filled with the sensations of cart-wheeling wing tip over tail fin, out into the black reaches of the universe ... But there's also the lush style of ambient, for when chilling is by choice rather than part of an emergency rescue mission, a form of ambient grooves most likely to be heard in the spa retreat or the candle-decked love nest … With this warmer chill in mind, I've gathered together a little Brian Eno, some Jonn Serrie, Anna Schaad, Bliss, Moby, Koru, Makyo and Olafur Arnalds … all spacey and drifty one minute, surging rhythm the next. The first track is a leisurely (12+ mins) laid-back rubdown … sent to wring you out, settle you down and get you ready … leaving you there-but-not-there, so your mind can roam unimpeded … just for now, just for an hour or so. Notes wouldn't be complete without a shout out to Sonny's Angel for the Vangelis hook-up … you'll hear a tidbit of Roy's valedictory speech from Blade Runner as part of the track "Tears in Rain". And while I'm giving shout-outs, I should note that I came across the stunning neo-classical music of Olafur Arnalds as the soundtrack to a Vimeo clip that was posted on the Daily Dish earlier this summer … gratitude, likewise, to PRI's To the Best of Our Knowledge for revealing Anna Schaad's "Mermaid" to my wondering ears. Your Floatation Device awaits you ... grab ahold and drift with me ... ============= I should also note that I did two covers for this mix -- the other one is here -- feel free to vote for your favorite. ============================ Based on the comments received (below) I've posted the cover image that got all the love...

"The mind is like a feather."
Who said that? Anybody important ... or just me? Anyway, Madame, your mix was like a breeze (or a wave, no question I prefer the *other* cover) that took my mind on a mysterious journey between inside and outside. Excellent track selection, laid back transitions, what else could I ask for... thanks a lot!  PS: The following mix, Exotica redux, fits almost seamlessly ... nice scheduling work! free your ears and your mind will follow... |
