Who wants to do an ambient mix?

I'm looking for an 1.5hr mix (or several mixes) of ambient
tracks........ minimal, preferably beatless, not too
dark........ for use in my yoga classes. The usual "new
age" stuff drives me insane! Flutes, melancholy repetitive
piano etc etc. Every yogi I know has terrible taste in
music!

In exchange, I will provide free yoga classes (if you can
make it to Adelaide, Australia!) and my best wishes.

I'm listening to The Black Dogs "You Are Strange Mix" and I
think it would work nicely. (Ken, feel free to do another
one, and yes, I have part 2).

Richard, Sean and Rob, by all means, have a go. :)

He he, I can imagine....

Aphex Twin - "Tha" from SAWI must be perfect, even if
there's some beat...

burzum - Rundgang um die transzendentale Saule der
Singularitat

25 minute track, perfect for meditation/breathing
excersises/yoga.
IMO

It is sort of dark, but it depends on how you interpret it.

I mean, it was made by a murderer while in prison..
beside the point.

Gwely: are you serious about the murderer thing?

made before the average xltronian was made, but still great.
one of my faves, but incredibly short is "trancentral lost
in my mind". that melody will haunt you the rest of your
life. same goes for the wichita lineman track.

four of us crowded into a corolla zooming across town
thinking the world was DEFINITELY going to change, now that
music like this was made!

cool. I go to classes at two studios, one with music, one
without. Each has it's pro's and cons. I don't have music
when I teach, mainly because it all sucks dogs balls. I
want to see if i can get something working with ambient
electronica.

good suggestion.......... it's hard to do "upbeat" in a
class, but i'll grab it just to listen to

keep the ideas coming.... i'll check the thread in the
morning

it on repeat.

yeah he did death metal for awhile, got in an argument with
the label guy as to whether it should be satanic or norse
godish, and killed him. he burned some churches too. once in
prison, he started doing minimal ambiance. its an
interesting turn. and the music speaks for itself.

Brian Eno "Thursday Aternoon"

It's a beautiful record and must be perfect for yoga

This review says it all:

"Music cannot get more innocuous than this. It is so
ambiguous and dissarming that it's impossible to either love
or hate with any degree of intensity. Everybody who has a
pair of ears simply cannot dislike this music as it is
completely harmless. It won't sweep you away with a euphoric
wave, but neither will it annoy your ears with jarring or
uncomfortable sounds. Great background music to play, when
you are lying in bed thinking, or reading, but it won't
gather you into its sounds and evoke deep emotive feelings.
This is all very gentle and listener-friendly, to the point
where you may not even notice it was on at all. I
particulalry enjoyed one reviewer's comments on RYM about
this record where he states that 'I completely forgot to
listen to it and if you like this release you will also like
listening to the CD lens cleaner.' I thought that was a
funny and cleverly (exaggerated) description of Eno's music
(exaggerating, obviously to prove a point.) but nonetheless
strangely accurate. This is simply inoffensive, unobtrusive
piano notes and synthesiser moods that could just as easily
been called.....well anything, although, I think this sounds
more like a Tuesday Afternoon."

IF ya have Web connection out there, you would try
SOMAfm.com Website, cuz they are playing Lushy, ambientic
and Chill-Out music in every time you choose them...

Reccomended: GROOVE SALAD session

Tolstoyed did a zen music mix that was superb and might suit
this sort of thing.
