Click to download (Link is dead for the time being. Be patient while I fix some things. If you actually did want to download this, just send me an e-mail, and I'll let you know as soon as I reupload it).

A thematic mix I made about a year ago, when a friend and I made mixes for each other with the same theme (which was, of course, Winter of Souls). The tracks are broken up into four group of twelve, each group representing Earth, Purgatory, Heaven, and Hell respectively. That's where the Souls part comes from. The Winter part comes in the fact that these tracks, which are mostly of the drone variety, just sound cold and bleak to me, and that's sort of how I feel about winter sometimes. As much as I love Minnesota winters, they get pretty damn long and cold. It picks up a bit towards the end, though.

Also, I've used a lot of stuff put out under the Creative Commons license, so I feel I should link back to those particular artists. The Archive, UPC, and ANGELswing are all put out on the Dark Winter netlabel, which I absolutely adore. Archive also was on Wandering Ear, but apparently not anymore. Bolander is on the TZP Drone Co. netlabel. Remora is on Silber Records. @c is on Silence is Not Empty. Finally, Irkalla, while they don't have anything out on a Creative Commons license, happens to be a friend's band.

Downloading this now. Had to shift a couple of letters about on the link, mind. This looks absolutely terrific. Great stuff.

This is excellent. I don't have all that much patience for ambient, but just about everything here kept me tuned in.In particular, I love that "Wayfaring Stranger" track.
