Side B of the first couple Ash Ra Tempel albums. Simple synthesizer drift and hum.

this thread, courtesy of pashmina, has some good stuff on it too:

"New Age Music", search and destroy.

I downloaded all the Serrie mp3s on that page (2 hours worth of music) and put all the stuff with a beat or recognizable instruments such as flute or guitar onto one mix and all the pure space aimlessness on another. It works out perfectly to 2 hour-long CD-R mixes.

The aimless space stuff I arranged perfectly with iTunes crossfade playback feature of 6 seconds and it sounds like a real, intentionally made album rather than a bunch of 3 minute song samples. It's great! For what it is, I mean.

Here's the order of the pure space ambient one, in case you'd like to do it yourself:

The-Tachyon-Directive
Stratos
The-last-secert
fantasy-passages
Starport-Indra
glyder
Gentle the night
continuum
The-Ancient-of-days
rediant-dawns-whisper
Welcome-Home
Light-of-thy-Countenance
Land-of_lyss
the-stargazers-journy
goldstone
Lumahai
Straits-of-madigann
Tingri-Maiden
Vista-range
Be-still-my-soul

I basically arranged it so that the song samples ran seemlessly into each other with the crossfade playback feature and it is not discernable that these are incomplete song samples.

I just hope the crossfade feature stays when I burn it to a CD-R and is not simply a feature for iTunes playback!

Oh yeah, and I got zero work done today!

does that crossfade feature work in an iPod also? i fucking hate listening to cut mixes because of the gaps

Hm, I don't know. But, if it doesn't, the mp3 samples fade out anyway. They don't stop abruptly. It just works better with the crossfade because one "fading-out sound" disappears into the next "starting up" sound and often you wouldn't even know the song has changed at all.

eleven years pass...

Kitaro fcuking sucks. Imagine the intro to pink floyd's "shine on you crazy diamond" played on general midi instruments. imagine album after album after album of this.

this sounds kinda awesome?

Dude's discography is way too tremendous to delve into, though. There are over 100 titles on Discogs alone

Does anyone have anything good to say about Kitaro?

^ Sums up about 1/2 of The Kitaro Quintessential, but then there's the string-y soundtrack-y, syrup-y stuff. If there's an album worth listening to, please post it. Gonna head to the new age thread in the meantime.

I simply must post this image again. Actually not a bad album incidentally.
