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.

Great Mixes.... making my way through them now. Thanks for sharing.
I am trying to do something along the same lines..... just started up a blog:

Only have one mix on there right now, but hope to have more up as I feel inspired.
Love your "closet" blog also.
Cheers

Beautiful sounds in this mix, to no surprise. I was glad to hear more human voices than in '6 Scenic Mixes for Sylvie And Bruno', they give depth and warmth to an otherwise glacial travelogue. I'd welcome animal or nature sounds in your mixes sometimes. Nice to hear Nico as a Lorelei on the banks of the Rhine.

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback, Nick and Tony.
After fighting with a bad bad cold for more than three weeks, I'm back on the track.
I've done a lot of listening in that time, discovering loads of mixable music, a good deal of these tracks featuring vocals of some sort or another.
really nice mix (so far -- i just started listening). any chance you could post a detailed running order of sources for the mix. listening now to an acoustic bass, with quite natural reverb, played solo, with sea shells accompanying --now comes a wash of cluster-y synth, while the sea shells keep going -- this is gorgeous! thanks!

Hi,
Still thoroughly enjoying this. I 'rediscovered' it during a midnight cd-to-NAS ripping session. While ripping, I noticed that there are 3 seperate tracks, but no track names like in "Six Scenic Mixes for 'Sylvie and Bruno' vol. 1.
The same goes for Malachus Micgranus' Teahouse #1
Is there a possibility to share those track-titles with us (if there are any, of course)?
Thank you!
