Following Greg Foat, my Tidal Auto play ting went “ere ave a listen to this!”

Jonny Nash (no not that one) and Suzanne Kraft - A Heart So White (Tidal/Melody As Truth)

Described as Ambient/Drone, whatever that is I like it, yes I do!..It’s only ambient drone but I like it like it…
Sorry :grin:

Downtempo dream team Jonny Nash and Suzanne Kraft join forces once more for another excursion far out to sea. Their ambient soundscapes are as lush as they come and are the perfectly transportive sounds we need right now. From mellow and melancholic piano chords to meandering synth lines there is lots to get lost in here, always with a real sense of slowly unfolding narrative and deep sense of immersion. The tenderness of this duo seems to know no bounds as they continue to find truly moving beauty in the most minimal of compositions.

just fancy a kip now…zzzzzzzzzzz

:heart:

Maybe the hardest trick in rock music is to do what John Peel credited as the singular ability of the Fall– to sound always different, but always the same. Plenty of groups have flourished by always being the same; plenty more artists see it as their duty to make sure each album sounds utterly unlike the one before. But to sustain a career without ever completely repeating yourself, yet never leave anyone wondering what the heck you’ve done to the group they loved, is something few manage to pull off. Ten albums and nearly 30 years into their career, Spoon still sound like Spoon: fresh, timeless and wholly in control of their work.

More Greg Foat, recommended by @AndyP, a few to choose so just dived in on this one

Hampshire And Foat - Upturned Glass (Tidal)

An instrumental Suite based on a day in their home town of Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. Featuring local musicians and field recordings of bird song and pubs, this album captures the essence of life in this seaside town.

I remember getting lost on the Isle Of Widget, long story :joy:
