"Life can only be remembered backwards, but it must be lived forwards." The central piece provides the title for this mix: Solace - "Comfort in sorrow, misfortune. Consolation." This Fovea Hex track literally breathes consolation in every single note, so it seemed a good starting point for this mix. It is also one of the few tracks in the mix that are included in its full length. Even though there are quite some dark moments in this mix, I hope it may bring some 'solace' - if needed. (If not needed: even better...! It still can be nice to feel a bit melancholic for a while, can't it?) --- originally published on Ambientblog ---
