Nice music recommendations and discussion, Roger. Thanks.I’m familiar with all Sylvian and all Eno probably, but I’ll check out the Tomas Dvorak, Gordon Giltrap and in that combination you mentioned as well as Matthew Halsall, Travis and Fripp.Seems like everything released maybe after 1975 and definitely after 1978, that’s in an ambient category is in some way even unconsciously influenced by Eno. John Foxx’s ‘London Overgrown’ (2015) I’ve been listening to for relaxing and for sleep as well. ‘Cathedral Oceans’ (2016) and ‘My Lost City’ (2009) also from John Foxx will get you relaxing, dreaming and imagining. Also check out the Ghost Harmonic release called ‘Codex’ (2015). ‘Tiny Colour Movies’ (2006) is something to drift away to. Wadcorp’s said on here at DV that ‘Tiny Colour Movies’ is his favourite JF. All his material’s on Bandcamp.Listening (and ignoring in the Erik Satie sense of ignoring) ‘Flux’ (1981) by Robert Turman. He’s got many interesting releases and they’re on Bandcamp.Any Erik Satie without a doubt is possibly the king of ambient music or ‘furniture music.’ Same with Claude Debussy.Anything from the former members of Japan are very atmospheric and ambient and wonderful listening. Always unique the music that those people release.Anything and everything from Roedelius and Moebius solo or as Cluster ... or in Harmonia with Michael Rother do the trick as do all the Michael Rother records. Anything by Ennio Morricone I love to listen to, but I’m particularly caught by his ‘60s through ‘70s soundtracks, especially the Spaghetti Westerns. I know he wishes people would listen to his other music as well. Piero Piccione is another Italian movie composer who has amazing stuff available to listen to.Stelvio Cipriani’s soundtrack called ‘Tentacles’ (1977) is a favourite.All the music that Bill Evans released in his life are great listening. I think of him rightly or wrongly as the Erik Satie of jazz. There’s just something in his piano playing that’s indescribable.
