Been listening to this tonight - really lovely! Did you use lossless sources at all? If so could I get a lossless copy?― octobeard, Monday, August 27, 2018 3:59 AM (yesterday
― octobeard, Monday, August 27, 2018 3:59 AM (yesterday
It was all sourced from 320 or V-0 mp3s, because I just don't have enough room (or good enough ears) to rip my collection in FLAC, tend to keep only absolute favorites in lossless (like maybe 200 out of 8000 albums). I think I uploaded it for download at 320 to minimize the effects of reencoding--suspect Mixcloud doesn't maintain the bitrate. Sorry : \ But glad you like the mix!

Since winter has properly come here this week, I decided to do a sequel to a wintery ambient mix I made a few years ago. The link is above, maybe you will enjoy it too. It's not all strictly ambient but I did try to make the mood transitions smooth, hope it works.

Nice. Any chance of turning on the download on soundcloud (or is that a premium feature now)?

Eh, I feel a bit dodgy doing that, since obviously I don't have the copyright for those tracks... But email me at tuomast dot alho at Google's mail, and I can help. :)

Loscil's latest, Equivalents, and Visions' cinematically spaced-out Temples are both quite good.
Looks like a new Steve Roach is imminent as well.

On the more 'tribal' end of things, Alio Die's latest, with a Persian duo from Paris named Indalaska, is worth investigating as well.
― pomenitul, Monday, 19 August 2019 18:03 (four years ago) link
The collaboration with Indalaska is a really strong album, although it's difficult to get a sense of what elements Indalaska are bringing to it (which happens to me a lot with Alio Die collabs, honestly)
