Love that Ryuichi Sakamoto track, Beardsley

 

Anyway,

I've posted this before but you should all get into Federico Durand

I realise most people are streaming these days but I've got over 2000+ high quality files (WAV, FLAC, AIFF) of various stuff but a lot of ambient, downtempo, sunshine vibes. I'm more than happy to share these with anyone who wants them. Let me know and I'll put some stuff together.

Saw Marcus Fisher play a set like this last year

Music From Memory has some of the very best ambient gear.

I always find this song incredibly uplifting and calming

Bang Bang Machine - Geek Love (Irresistible Force Remix)

Edited March 23, 2020 by Tommok

[Beardsley]

This is what I would classify as an interesting listening experience. Sakamoto laying down different piano accords while Alva Noto structures electronic noise and it all lifts to a higher entity. Not for everybody, but preferably give it a listen through headphones

Another cracker, Beardsley. I really like Alva Noto and this works really well

I played it in a chill out room in a club in Leeds in around 1994, along with a load of other stuff from the Fax label and similar and it all seemed to go down surprisingly well given it was perhaps a little more "chilled" than the other stuff people were playing

That Laurie Spiegel track is a goody.

Another early 90's favourite of mine.

. There I've always thought that this was one of the finest albums I've ever heard. There is footage on youtube of them playing live in a church in NYC - I'm desperately jealous of anybody who was there

Absolute class. What a label R&S was/is.
