Several Times II

I was recently introduced via @greenwoods to ‘Sleeps with the Fishes‘ a 1987 collaboration between Pieter Nooten and Michael Brook. I’m immensly grateful to her for enlightening me. If you love ambient, this is a must have album.

One track in particular I love is Several Times II, but at just over two minutes, its beauty is all too short for me. To help me sleep last night, I stretched and layered it with a little bit of additional reverb into an 11 minute aid to allow you to drift gently off. Here is the result of that.

Only available as a stream for copyright reasons. That said, there is every chance I might be asked to remove it. I sincerely hope not.

I implore you to track the album down and buy it.

    Lovely track but I made a mistake. I thought you were referring to the movie which is actually called Dream with the fishes http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119019/

    Ok, it´s official. I´m an airhead :) On the other hand I found a great new album other than your eminent version! Thanks

    Hey Göran, you’re no airhead! I now have a film to discover. It’s little mistakes that make life interesting, don’t you think? Thanks for listening and RTing :)
