Low Light Mixes
Dave Michuda:
A little change of pace for Low Light Mixes with "Footsteps". I discovered The Maple Mountain Sunburst Triolian Orchestra recently & just had to find a home for it in a mix. So this mix then is all beats, funky beats, psychedelic beats, jazzy beats, retro beats, etc.

I have always loved a little known Genesis tune called "Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats". The last song on the end of side three(vinyl), it's a 3 minute instrumental that is more ambient than old prog rock.
I remember a thread at the Hypnos forum, a long time ago, that was a list of the best ambient tracks by non-ambient artists. I'm sure the thread was lost in the great Hypnos forum purge a few years ago, but I think I added artists like Radiohead, Daryl Hall, Peter Gabriel, etc. I think "Silent Sorrow" may be the best ambient track by a non-ambient artist.
Anyway, I've always wanted to use it in a mix so here it is. I used the track as the title for this mix but the music doesn't necessarily take on the sorrowful feel that the title suggests.

Hi,
I've posted a couple new mixes that I think the Hypnos community might like. And they both feature some Hypnos artists.
First up is a mix called "Far from Home". It's a deep space mix, hopefully the music will generate a feeling of weightlessness, of drifting in the vast expanse of space, without being too dark or dissonant. The mix features Hypnos artists Mike Griffin, A Produce & Austere.

Also just posted is a mix of generally pleasant, "pretty" ambient music, called "Positively Ambient". I had a request from a listener to put together something "optimistic" or "euphoric" in tone. Not sure if this exactly fits that description, but it's a nice, soothing hour of music with Hypnos alums, James Johnson & Jeff Pearce making a cameo.

Cool, Dave. I'm downloading both, and looking forward to giving them a listen.
I'm proud to be part of the more rugged, macho ambient mix, comparatively speaking! ;)
cromag:
Thanks, Dave! They sound great! I took the liberty of pointing some friends towards them.
