This isn't a dance mix, and it isn't even a mix really. It's the third in a series of mixtapes that I made in the early 2000s. I just found all of the most beautiful music I could think of, threw it together, and ended up distributing them a lot to friends and prospective romantic interests. So, if you're *not* already a fan of ambient or electronic music, this is a great intro to the genre, of stuff that you might love but have just never even heard of. Ambient/electronic crossover, at it were. Anyway, they all have Elvish names. So this was the third one, "Urucormar" (meaning "Fire Ring"), and it includes "Rêve" by Vangelis, which probably the most stunningly-beautiful composition I've heard outside of Classical music. I mean, how...? Well, hopefully you'll see what I mean. Then "This Love" is great if you need another "Teardrop" (Massive Attack). And Eno, of course. Lots of good stuff in there.
