This selection was aimed at highlighting some of the great ambient (and adjacent) music that can be found on long-overlooked or difficult to find CDs. At the time of preparing the mix, all but two (14/16) tracks could only be listened to here, unless of course you are a lucky owner of one or more of these CDs. The mix was made to accompany an article written by Jason Sloan at 'Tributary' - a digital newsletter that celebrates music found beyond the bounds of the "major streaming services".
