This ones a bit warmer:


Actually this one has one of my fave bits from any of our mixes here at about 45 mins:

15. Brian Eno - LUX 1 - LUX - WARP (2012)
16. Dick Sutphen/Upper Astral - Ascent of the Eagle - Valley Of The Sun (1988)
17. Lou Reed - Move Your Heart - Hudson River Wind Meditations - Sounds True (2007)

Dick Sutphen's psychedelic meditation guide getting absolutely mangled live by the FX machines as Lou swoops in on top.

Kevin Richard Martin aka The Bug new one- Black - ambient/drone
Click to expand...

this is good on first listen. it's been hard to keep up with him since he discovered bandcamp. he seems to have put out a new full album out every few months for several years now and it's all at least superficially similar. that makes it hard to get my teeth into. the suspicion with all of that is that it's undercooked - why invest the time in getting to grips with a record, which is what a lot of ambient takes to get something out of it, when you think he might just be putting out everything he's made that quarter. but then this of course is the direction everything is going in. and although it does sound like he's spent a few years making the same record over and over, this one feels like a departure. he's a good one to follow. switches his interests up. and genuinely seems to find new parts of the map.
