Comment:

I first started thinking about this sometime before Xmas after being pissed off at the crap that invariably gets put on all those "Best Chill-Out Album In The History Of Civilisation Ever" compilations: you know, Enya, Enigma & the like; stuff that's the musical equivalent of a cheese-cloth smock.

Muzag's "Experiments In Mood" series was the impetus to actually get down to doing something about it.

Whether this deserves to be ranked along side his fantastic efforts is a moot point. Certainly there's no way I can match his seamless mixing. Still, it was fun.

A note about the extracts, In each case, I've chosen those parts which best fitted the overall mood: In the case of the Soft's & Cow selections, it's the closing third: the manipulated drone which concludes "Moon" & On "Ruins" Fred Friths guitar "solo" & the final fade. From "Echoes" I extracted the abstract central "Wind, seabirds & Sonar" section.
