Aural Travelogue

Here in Germany, if you start somewhere in the southern parts and go up far enough, "Going North" will take you through a sequence of landscapes ranging from mountains & hills to the super-flat northern parts (like the "Lueneburg Heath"), interwoven with more or less healthy patches of forest while the hills get softer and smaller. Eventually, you end up at the windy gray/blue coast of the North Sea.

This very slow mix features, in order of appearance, music from Roedelius ("Halmharfe"), Howard Skempton (three pieces from his dance suite "Delicate"), Nico ("On the Desert Shore"), Delia Derbyshire & Barry Bermange (two long parts from their radio piece "Dreams"), Popol Vuh, Acid Mothers Temple offspring Uchu, David Tibet, Harmonia 76 (with Brian Eno), Edgar Froese ("Aqua"), Michel Redolfi and Japanese flutist Atsuya Okuda, amongst others.

Get it here.

Thanks to the Continuo blog for the great tape "Dross" by S*Core, from which I used the track "Muffle" twice in this mix.
