A droney ambient delight. Superior chilled sounds from Portland OR.

Like: Sustainer, Ruhe
Both are just lovely, just about favour 1, perfect tracks to play to introduce or conclude a relaxing set. Opportunities to fade out, although both tracks are best heard in their entirety.

No FCC’s (Instrumentals)

1) The Heart Wants (19.18) Lush expansive waves of joy that rise & fall, following a softly softly heartbeat of an opening. Fade at around the 9.50 mark if time is against you. The gathering momentum for the final five minutes is a bliss filled journey.
2) What The Heart Wants (20.04) Another quiet beginning, slowly introducing wave upon wave of droney pleasure. Laying down staring at the sky with a big smile on your face. This gets more active during the middle portion, maybe slightly more industrial compared to the previous track, although it doesn’t lose its ambient feel. Fade at 11.00 if needed. The next segment could be another track though. Ebbs & flows with the synths until it soars high & bright. Fade opportunity again at 16.00 slower droney waves with harsher textures to close.
