There is a new release from Loscil called "Sketches from New Brighton." And of course it's excellent. As I listened to it I figured that Loscil would have to be one of my favorite ambient artists of all time.
That got me thinking...what are my top ten ambient artists of all time? The artists on the list are ones I come back to again and again. And also ones that have a decent sized body of work. This mix is a collection of tracks from each of those artists. The cuts used in the mix are not necessarily my favorite track from that artist, just tunes that worked well within the mix. 00:00 Loscil - Prairie Trains 07:15 Steve Roach - Tranquility Base 13:55 Stars of the Lid - The Atomium pt 2 21:00 Harold Budd - Balthus Bemused by Color 25:25 Brian Eno - Slow Water 28:00 Maps & Diagrams - Secrets of the Shore 30:45 Kyle Bobby Dunn - The Tributary 38:03 Alio Die - Ultima Latet 50:40 William Basinski - 92982.3 55:30 Sonmi451 - Ruis http://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/Uploaded 7 months ago - Featuring tracks by Steve Roach, Alio Die, Sonmi451 , Stars of the Lid , Loscil and more          |  |
