Textures 1

This is a different kind of pick. These songs are mostly instrumental. Fairly ambient, but dissonant. Strange and yet calming. Disturbing and weird and yet beautiful. I'm not sure that it was made to listen to at night as you go to bed or not, but beware if you do. The dreams may be unsettling. For me, I like it. Not many tracks per volume as some of them were long. The Darkside was a side project of Spaceman 3 and this track sounds to me like it could have been Pink Floyd in an alternative universe. CTI was a side project of Chris & Cosey from Throbbing Gristle. TG also spawned Coil. Cocteau Twins and Sigur Ros usually sound ethereal and show that here. Dali's Car was a side project from Peter Murphy and Mick Karn, Bowie and Eno and Wobble need no introduction, if you don't know them, buy everything. And the Cure pick is interesting in that it was a Soundtrack to an animated file (never saw it) and has no vocals and is long.
