Slow Music recommendations.
#1
I couldn't think of a better topic name..

I am looking for some slow music... something along the lines of Beck - Everybody's got to learn sometime.

Kind of music you would want to listen to when you're down & low.

Hi Carbon

When I read your post the following came to my mind............Try Nick Drake

There are three albums ( Maybe four )

Five Leaves Left

Bryter Later

Pink Moon

Many people find Nick a touch depressive ( Perhaps because his life was not that bright but it might be along the right lines )

GryphonCool
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown.
.............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )

Do you know most/several/some of those? That is somewhere we can "meet up" music wise, if you catch my drift. Most of what I listen to these days is on the slow side, whether it is rock, jazz, country, electronic, dub, classical or otherwise.

not really, just Antony, which like most music for me, has grown on me after repeated listenings.
By my original comment I only meant that I was truly impressed with the length of your list.
I do know that you have a varied interest, but mistakenly was under the impression that your primary area was electronic.
I respect your knowledge and will check some of these out because of your post, as I do with most of our members.

other than gryphons excellent Nick Drake suggestion all that comes to mind for me right now is, very early Bruce Cockburn.
