I have been a dj for years and mostly spin ambient chill-out music. So many songs remind me of Ray Bradbury... and his influence on my mixes is quite monumental.
A number of years ago I presented Ray with a dj mix tape that I had made in his honor. I have since digitized this mix and am listening to it now.

djm: Can you share some especially noteworthy artists and titles with us here? I am sure many are late night readers and would enjoy your offerings.
By your posts, it is obvious you are a biblio... & audiophile!

Cool video of one of Daniel Amos's best songs - a song of nostalgia, but so much more.
I worry the message in this moving song is being lost to a generation and culture that seems too unfocused to realize the greatness of Our Land. More stations, gltiz, glamour, ear plugs, me...me...me..."Denhams." I hope I am very wrong.
Mr. Bradbury has been warning us of this throughout his writing career: "It was a pleasure to burn." Firemen never put out fires!

Hello! Yes, of course I would be happy to share. I have also archived some of the old mix tapes, including the live mix I made for Mr. Bradbury here:
Please keep in mind, if you choose to listen, that these are old archived mixes... all live and digitized from tape. The sound quality isn't that great.
There are a few more live digital mixes here, if you are interested:
As for particular deep space, chill-out music - I will compile a small list.
Yes, I have been a part of the boards for a few years. Bradbury has been a part of my life for many many years and I can safely say that who I am is in no small part due to the writings and mind of Mr. Bradbury.
Thanks for the note. I hope you enjoy Beautiful Things.
