AMBIENT VISIONS - Xtabay compilation 2003 - TWILIGHT ZONE

Very, very cool tunes, sit back, relax and listen to "Ambient Visions".



This is nice . . . . . no, its great! A compilation from TWILIGHTZONE of Oz company xtabay some of the finest ambient toons from back in 2003. When it's hot this is just what you need (some even have the sound of cool running water, I kid you not)
 I have said before (possibly ad nauseam) that composer Gavin Bryars was my tutor at college (Art School) alongside historian Fred Orton and they invited Brian Eno to come talk to us as visiting lecturer and I think I have simply followed his work and bought everything I could ever since (by them both actually!)

The 'father' of Ambient music, Brian figures here with a couple of favourite tracks and some of his compatriots of the 'quiet musics' Harold Budd, Michael Brook, William Orbit etc

Twilight Zone says:

"Ambient Visions" an Xtabay compilation of exotica madness generously compiled and shared by the Australian mythic site "Xtabay's World" a site where exotica, lounge and space age pop music rules.
