Comment:

Another g.a.b.l@bs & Muzag "alternating" DJ mix

Back in October, when we put out a narrow path, I mentioned that a follow up mix was in progress. It took a while to finish but here it is.


Synchronicity played its part, especially given Gene's latest (about which I knew nothing). Again the remit was an alt-dj mix in the ambient-ish genre. I was looking for unlikely sources and happened to be listening to How The West Was Won at the time which opens with LA Drone. With a bit of twisting I made it fit the mix. A few days later an attachment from the l@bs brought Bron-Yr-Aur to my mail box and I reckoned we'd get away with breaking the "one artist, one song" rule.
As it happens, and completely in ignorance, I grew up about 15 miles from Bron-Yr-Aur. And indeed, the lamb sounds used here come from the next valley (and so make a re-appearance here). Those of you who download this mix will find included GoogleEarth markers to both the lambs* and the cottage.


Anyway, not content with the "LA Drone" drone I took a sideways jump and wondered at the possibilities of making ambient music from Deep Purple sources. A progression clear perhaps only to myself. For those of you who aspire to having everything louder than everything else, see competition below.

Finally, the two volumes, a narrow path & a wider view can segue into each other indefinitely; so, no more music purchases necessary :)
All mixes mentioned here have been refreshed and are available for download.

* Disclaimer: Lambs visible on GoogleEarth may not be same lambs as appear in mix.
