This mix is, as the title says, a little louder than a normal Low Light ambient mix. As per usual the mix started with one album in particular - Mox by Mox from 1998. I absolutely loved it when it came out in '98. I stumbled upon it a couple weeks back and decided to build a mix around non-ambient instrumentals. Some of the tunes have a kraut rock vibe, some are jazzy, some have a retro feel, and others are just cool. More than half the tracks are from 2022 with one of the old ones going all the way back to 1973.
I hope you enjoy this diversion. We'll be back to ambient soon. Oof, I just realized that I should start thinking about best of the year lists. Any suggestions?

Likin it.
:-)
Oh wow, the extra 'oomph' in this mix is the perfect way to start the week. The Rain Tree Crow closer was perfect, to boot. Always great to hear any Japan-related works and solo projects in the wild!
So glad you enjoyed the mix!
