That's such a great album.

Been playing that Daniel Schmidt in Plug for months with no replies except once when someone found it boring. I still think it's very nice.

That's odd, I've been sleeping to it as well. Or maybe not that odd, it's a no brainer to put on minimalist music when you're going to bed. I think you have posted the album around, I recognized the cover when it came up in my youtube recs. The way this album breathes reminds me of Midori Takada's Through the Looking Glass.

^ Beautiful album. Not really my cup of tea for going to bed to (space ambient is where the magic lies), but there's definitely a sense of peacefullness to In My Arms, Many Flowers that would make it suited for meditation.

Time Of Orchids - Sarcast While (2005)

Spent some quality time with this baby over the last two days. A beautiful and dazzlingly experimental record that incorporates elements of no wave, Zeuhl, Allan Holdsworth's 80's jazz-fusion and contemporary math-rock into a blizzard of fun. Even has something like a pop sensibility at times, which only adds to my enjoyment.

Lava - The Rhythm Of Love (1990 / 2017 Remastered)

A jazz-rock band out of Norway that changed their style a few times, culminating in this tasty outing in 1990 after serving as Randy Crawford's backing band for much of the prior decade. Sonically we are in hi-tech AOR territory, sounding uncannily like Toto circa 1988's The Seventh One. Fabulous production and some really great tunes here and there, especially the shuffling opener 'Somebody Like You' which has one hell of a smooth melody. Happy to have found it.

I was really into Time of Orchids in high school, I gotta revisit that album again, I might like it even more.

It is slightly odd since ordinarily I just put on rainymood.com. Midori Takada is another one I've only gotten into very recently but I adored Through the Looking Glass. Need to make a proper sleeping/meditation/writing playlist again with all of these albums in it.

Throw these two in as well and you'll be in good company.

Budd and Eno are classic sleep music for me as well.

Bam, you just went up a two notches on Anteater's culturally appropriated totem pole. Check out Serrie sometime too: there's some good spacey stuff there.
