#2509 Gaussian Curve - The Distance

Ambient's hard to get right. Mellow's hard to get right.

It's hard to make it sound easy. You can be soulless and underconsidered in a second, and efforts to escape that pull are doomed to backfire.

It's rare to find something that sidesteps that, but here you have it.

There's real voice, real space, real atmosphere here. Spiderland patience alongside Laughing Stock warmth, some half speed instrumental version of Skylarking - gloaming synths growing Eno slow, but without all that trashy crystallization to place, just letting things hang in song titles like The Distance; Breathe; Suspended Motion.

You can feel someone pulling on those strings - the math is only the grid, the lines are handdrawn 4/5
