Sunday Morning Music - 1970s Recollections

More Sunday morning music - this time all the tracks are from the 1970s.  In collecting these cuts I discovered two albums that I somehow missed - Kraftwerk - Ralf & Florian and Cluster - Sowiesoso.  I have plenty of Kraftwerk & Cluster in my collection but I didn't have those two albums &  they are both wonderful.  So thanks to Matt for suggesting those two records.  Also thanks Matt for suggesting the Nue! track.  That one was "new" to me and it fit perfectly.  

I know the Nick Drake tune was technically not the 1970s but I had already fallen in love with it & put it in the mix before I realized that it was released in 1969.  Oh well.  

I went back and forth about using the Ralph Towner cut.  It's a bit too pretty, almost new age-like, but I used to love that song.  Along with Eberhard Weber, Towner's Icarus was my introduction into the wonderful world of ECM records back when I was in college.  So I had to include it for nostalgia sake.  I'm glad I did because it really is a beautiful tune.

I wasn't able to squeeze in all of the great suggestions from listeners so I'm definitely going to have to do a second mix with this theme.  I really want to work that Kris Kristofferson tune into the next one.  And I didn't get a chance to work in Josh's suggestions of electronic library music.  I sought out the Monkman album & it's so cool, it just has to be included next time.  Too many good tunes left on the cutting room floor!  I better get started on the next mix.

Enjoy.

Sunday Morning Music - 1970s Recollections by Lowlight on Mixcloud

Infinite Coil

This is just a quick post to bring attention to a fine ambient release that you can find on Bandcamp.

The recording is transmit by infinite_coil and it's a wonderful example of guitar based ambient.  I've been using this as sleep music for the last week or so, works perfectly.

The music comes to us from Tom Lindsey, the curator of the excellent Spaceman's Transmissions mix blog.  You can also find Tom's mixes on Mixcloud here... tonepoet.

Tom also has a recording he did with a friend under the name harmony & decay.  It's on Bandcamp as well & is definitely worth downloading.  I'm sure I'll be working both of these recordings into future mixes.

Enjoy.
