September 22nd tape 3 is my favorite. It has all of the qualities I like for deep listening or a power nap.

This is exactly the type of ambient music I was looking for. It's wonderful; mellow, warm, melodic and the time length gives a lot of space for the mind to take it all in and go into whatever space it needs to. THANKS so much for submitting this.

It seems like most of these are some very pleasing drones, mellow-sounding and slowly changing.

And then there is the mysterious Sept 22 Tape, a kind of ambient piece that seems rare around here. It gives the impression of being in some dark hidden chamber within a giant stadium or convention hall while a huge and momentus but nearly incoherent event goes on outside.

Great for imagining some kind of epic storyline while you go to sleep.

Nothing special, but some good soundscapes.

Subject: variations on a theme.

track 4 is where it gets interesting for me. and then a very mesmerizing drone kicks in 3 minutes into track 5. something like a gregorian chant (but only faintly)

by track 10 the mounting tension has resolved into a soothing undulating hum...

get this one.
