So that's where this mix takes us, to tunes that are fairly to very ambient, by non-ambient artists. Many of the artists on this tracklist aren't exactly big surprises, Sylvian, Bowie, Gabriel & Boards of Canada have done many ambient-like tracks over the years. But they are not known primarily as ambient artists. I didn't include the Genesis tune that inspired this mix, mainly because it was the featured track in an earlier mix. But I did manage to sneak in another Genesis tune from the same album.
Thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions. I think 6 made it into the final mix. I am saving some of the recommendations for the next Sunday morning mix. Thanks!
