26 Shades of Darkness
01:00:00 Share

The sheer volume of the Headphone Commute’s '…And Darkness Came' compilation – issued as a charity fundraising for the victims of Hurricane Sandy, and boasting 87 tracks (over 6 hours) of music – was also a kind of invitation to create a mix from it. --- originally published on Ambientblog ---

Presenting a wide range of music from well (and lesser) known artists – covering most of the ambient/electronic/post-classical/improv spectre, the compilation is an overview and 'who’s who' of what’s happening at this very moment. Its diversity of sounds and musical ideas will appeal to everyone with open ears.
