This must be one of the darkest mixes I have created until now.
I recommend headphone listening for this mix, but also recommend to avoid late night listening - unless, of course, you know what to expect.

The atmosphere is immediately set with the first notes, with a threatening (Boduf Songs) howl , and may even get downright frightening in the end climax.
Yet, not all is dark and gloomy.
In the middle section, there are also more optimistic sounds to enjoy, some more comfortable moments. 

So: just let the Machinefabriek track ('Stroomtoon Eén'- about 4 minutes from the start) guide you downward to a lower consciousness level - "Inception" style - and from there let your imagination do the rest....

There are a couple of surprising 'similarities' in this mix: the two-note chords in the Richard Skelton - The The - Anna Rose Carter sequence, and the vocal part from  Murcof track seamlessly following the preceding Library Tapes main theme.

But the most surprising track in this mix may be the Whistlebinkies track at the end.
Though not exactly a track to expect in any 'ambient' mix, I clearly felt that this theme should find its place in this mix.
Neither because it has a universal, somewhat melancholic,  universally appealing, "coming home" feeling.
Nor because this version of the classic (Scotch) Gaelic song also has a nice musical-box like effect: a repeating theme gradually slowing down to help babies (or yourself) fall asleep.
But mostly because I felt I could not 'just' end this mix immediately after the preceding climax... This track is the equivalent of a movie's end title section -  presenting the opportunity to get yourself together before you're leaving the theatre - still wondering what just happened ....

This is the question I want to ask you : what happened to you when listening to this mix? 

Thanks for listening!

I am very proud that this mix has been "radio-premiered" on the same day it was published: in the 09-09-2012 edition of Bob Rusche's X-Ray radioshow (Concertzender, Holland) - it even was repeated exactly three months later: on 09-12-2012.
