if you liked the dead texan album then try
stars of the lid – and their refinement of the decline. it’s instrumental, chilled , ambient, no beats… perfect background for meditation, prayers or just chilling. don’t try driving to it though – it will send you to sleep! you can download a sample track here
Hey Johnny… This is good… thanks for sharing.
If you are into this kind of thing… check out http://www.earthmp.com [earth monkey productions] – its a free netlabel with some fab ambient music… stand outs include “Cousin Silas” and “4th Alternative”. Beautiful soundscapes. Maybe something for a worship trick or something.
While on topic… check out http://www.sutemos.net/en/ [Suetmos] for some super smart and lovely IDM glitchy electronica… their compilations are fab and contain some “household” names like Ulrich Schnauss and ISAN.
Also a big fan of http://aerotone.300l600.de/ [Aerotone] – they do some fab folktronica… live instrumentation with an electronica aesthetic. Again… it free stuff and well worth owning. Check it out.
Sorry if this seems like an ad… but there is some great stuff out there that needs a wider audience.
Peace and keep up the good work
