Basic Ambient Selections
Don Slepian - "Sea Of Bliss"
   This intensely beautiful offering of three continuum pieces was composed by Slepian back in the Eighties and has only recently come back into print. It is the perfect background for morning beverage sipping.

Steve Hillage - "Rainbow Dome Musick"
     The two half-hour pieces on this disc convey a somewhat new age sensibility, evoking a Steven Halpern like Paradise Garden surround.

Brian Eno - "Thursday Afternoon"
     Nobody can outdo the maestro. This release from 1984 is a single continuum piece which will probably stand for a long time as a quintessential piece du ambience. So multilayered that it appears to have near infinite depth.

Brian Caldwell - "Harmonic Planet"
    While perhaps not as intricate as other recordings on this list, this one does produce a pleasant, gentle swirling perfect for lazing around or healing.

Steve Roach - "Structures From Silence"
     This classic and fundamental ambient disc is composed of three long pieces which develop an atmosphere of exquisite emotional intimacy. Ecstatic at times, soft and reflective at others, it is a joy to explore with every listen.

Al Gromer Khan - "Almond Blossom Day"
     Developing a soundscape with many similarities to "Thursday Afternoon," this work comes from a Sufi perspective, developing a wondrous meditative atmosphere replete with burning candles and incense.

Steve Reich - "Music For 18 Musicians"
    A long continuum recording of acoustic instruments and voices. It features a pulse based on human breath and a multitude of instruments weaving in and out of a sonic meshwork. Hypnotic and intimate simultaneously. Good for long conversations with friends at evening.

Terry Riley - "Shri Camel"
     A number of recordings created live in the studio which evoke an exotic celestial abode filled with the mysteries of the universe. Distinctly influenced by the music of India, features some very tricky keyboard fingering with lots of echo which results in a building and shifting cystalline environment.

Iasos -Timeless Sound
   A very cosmic environment by the master of angelic music. For long voyages into
the vibrational paradises.
