I usually keep different folders of music for different types of mixes. I have a "sea" folder. And one called "dub & stuff." Another is "piano." And of course several "Sunday morning" folders as well.
The folder for this mix was called "just plain old good ambient." And that's a pretty darn good description of this mix. There's no special theme or concept other than the fact that these cuts are all excellent ambient tunes.
The mix has a classic sound, classic feel. However, only one track is old - that's the Aphex Twin song. I love how the cuts flow together, making it a perfect mix for sleeping if you use these mixes like I do. I can also see listening to this while sitting on the front steps watching the sun set(unfortunately now instead of my nice farm across the street I have a subdivision of McMansions)
Five or six of the tracks in this mix came from Bandcamp, which I love for buying music & discovering new things via collections. I really have to control myself when I'm on that site or I'd be spending all sorts of money. My collection there is not really that large, partly because I really don't buy as much ambient music as I used to. If you're interested, here's a link to my Bandcamp collection... Dave's Collection
Enjoy the mix!
