note: The opposite of previous post. This deep night list, instead of telling story comes without lyrics. Maybe it will become a conversation piece, or simply fill the air while conversing. It wants to hear stories. Thematically, this is my first attempt to figure out what to post next this year, collecting my favorite artists and type of texture. Bill Laswell, Zorn’s film work, Venetian snares and various electronica. Plus big preposition from DM Stith : better Four Tet than Four Tet? I thought this is interesting to look around trying to figure out that question. So, another very deep night list.

    that’s a phantastic mix. expressing the lonely, forlorn feeling in the middle of the night extremely well. i didn’t download #6 and #7 which do not seem to fit so well in here and which i don’t like so much. but all the others are gems. tranquility can be very addictive.

    yeah the roni Size track is a bit too loud. I didn’t have the time to look for softer jungle. But the beat and texture change was intentional. I like changing texture midway for soft ambient, tho’ admitedly it’s hard to do it right without disrupting the mood.

    but I always thought all slow tracks is a bit too obvious and make people go sleepy. D

    The mouse on mars…I love it. :D. Come on it matches the bill laswell remix.

    which one? I’ve seen all except one or two in that thread (you actually can download it, follow the link at the bottom…lol) It’s about 700mb or so.

    fallen angels is actually a very nice cinematography, the color is amazing. very moody and dark. the story is minimalist tho’

    or are you talking about slumdog? that movie is funny.

    I’ve been away from the Motel for too long. Was getting
    happily swamped in my E-Music account. But this is a classic
    squashed post i am enjoying very much.
