My YMU Playlist Mix: 'Ambience Into The Ether'

My latest Yahoo! Music Unlimited playlist is called 'Ambience Into The Ether' [YMU link], and tends toward the distinctly chilled, since I decided to compile some of my favorite ambient artists into one longform playlist.

The description in YMU itself is as follows: "[This is] my playlist of the most pulsing, most spaced slices of ambient I could find on YMU. It mainly includes some of the genre's originators, including Brian Eno, Harold Budd, and ex-Tangerine Dream-er Klaus Schulze. But it also drifts into the 'avant-garde composer' realms (Terry Riley, Steve Reich) and features some newer ambient standouts (Biosphere, Pete Namlook). Enjoy!"

Nothing much else to be said about this, other than the playlist is only 10 tracks, but about 2 hours long, thanks to some mammoth track lengths, heh. Oh, and that there are some semi-miscredits on YMU's listing, due to co-composed albums, such as the first track from 'Ambient 2' being by Brian Eno and Harold Budd, not just Budd, and one of the Namlook tracks being co-composed with Move D - you can tell if you squint at the album covers.

[Also, Harold Budd's The Serpent In Quicksilver/Abandoned Cities album [YMU link], of which one track makes it onto this playlist, is one of my favorite albums of all time - completely gorgeous piano-based ambient.]
