Hey, I know from posting unedited messes. Did so myself this year. Here's the secret, though: never apologize, never explain. Just quietly edit in the background and update the post :D Also, I often feel good that people liked the raw stuff that got posted, because it means I was onto something! The last secret I'll share is that it was probably better than you think right now. You're in the post-posting letdown phase when all you can think about is how much it sucked. At least, that's how it works for me.
Went and listened to some of the Solar Fields stuff. I like it! I never paid much attention to ambient music until I knew you. I love it. Almost all of my homework last semester was done while listening to an ambient music channel. :p Do you have any opinions about Stars of the Lid?
I love Stars of the Lid. There's a Brian McBride solo album, When the Detail Lost Its Freedom, that I listen to a bunch while writing.
The Ultimae catalog is almost universally good stuff. The label owner has amazing taste, I think. If I had to recommend one recording out of the bunch, it would be H.U.V.A. Network, Ephemeris. Though, erk, I also love Cell's Live at Kumharas a whole lot.
I first heard Stars of the Lid while I was doing homework. I ended up buying some of their music. I think I listened to some of the H.U.V.A on Ultimae and really liked it. I'll have to go back and listen again and perhaps buy it. I'll check out the others, too, thanks for the recs!
I always think ambient music is good driving music. Probably because I always seem to end up running errands late Sunday nights which is when Hearts of Space is on. If you've never heard Hearts of Space, it's what you'd get if Carlos Summer and Bob Ross had a love child and that child went on to host a new age music program on public radio. It's good if a little indulgent at times.
