a mix to calm the nerves

[holden]

Hey all,

Did this for a friend in need last November, and as i needed some semi-ambient soothing tunes today, i dug it out and figured i'd share it with you.
Others do the ambient stylee mixing better, but i like the atmosphere.
Plus, it includes UW and some music learned about on dirty!
Expect some surprises, esp. from names you think you know.
It is the sound of the late late late hours...

Nice one Holden!
Good flow, and you use one of my favorite "ease the soul
after a long night" tracks, in orbital's "attached". :o

So, thank you.

im listening to this now and its just great. one of the best ambient mixes ive ever heard (and i've heard a few). while i'm not a fan of genesis, their steve hackett-era instrumentals are listenable and i'd never have thought to drop them in here.

megaupload is sloooow tho. have to find an alternative...

[Leon]

It's a nice mix. I especially dig the track after Orbital - Attached.

Edit: you've got to be kidding, that's Marshall Watson's!
