This mix began with a recommendation from a follower on Mixcloud, Paul Asbury Seaman. I asked for any train tunes he could suggest and he really came through, mapping out a whole mix for me.
Here's what Paul said about the mix...
"Berlin School synth/electronica can be pretty kinetic and thus an obvious source for a train mix, but I was going for a more melancholy sound, the wistful feeling evoked by the sound of Far Away Trains Passing By (the title of the Ulrich Schnauss album represented here). My working title for this mix was "Locomotive Lullaby."
Thanks Paul!

it hypnotizes me...
I just finished listening to LLM's previous mix, Pale.Blue Dot, and now Memory of Trains, and one artist in this mix Hollan Holmes's cut Enduro is featured, but did you know on the same album, The Spirits of Starlight, there is a track called Pale Blue Dot? Both great tracks. Anyway, enjoying the journey through the mixes in their order, and learning about about a lot of new music along the way. Thx for the soundtrack through these Covid days.
Thanks for hanging in there & plowing through the mixes.
Nice synchronicity! I love "cosmic" coincidences like that. "Pale Blue Dot" is also the name of an excellent album by Robert Scott Thompson. I have a copy of the photo of Saturn that inspired Carl Sagan's now famous comment as one of my cycling wallpapers. Thanks for leaving a comment. --Paul
Ha, ha. Now I see/remember that the Robert Scott Thompson track is of course on Dave's "Pale Blue Dot" mix. Well, anyway the whole album is great. Also, are you familiar with the artist Darshan Ambient? (He died last year.) He makes an intriguing combination of electronic/space music and folky acoustic guitar pieces.
...i simply stumbled upon this while listening to Digweed. brilliant mix 🙏🏽
I'm glad you found it! Thanks for listening!
Love this mix. I also keep coming back to this. The train theme really resonates with me
I think I'll have to come back to this one as well, it's been awhile since I gave it a listen. Cheers!
I keep coming back to this mix. Love trains and especially listening to trains "passing by" at night. Great mix!
Thanks for listening!

Thanks Donald, I'm glad you enjoyed the mix!
Nice one... Enjoy it in the middle of the night!

Thanks a lot Low Light Mixes - love the theme of this one.
It inspired me to make my first mixcloud show: "Those Who Go: Music for Departures", which is the soundtrack of my own feelings of anticipation, excitement and nostalgia when departing to new places.

Your tracklist looks great! I'll definitely give it a listen. Anything with Eberhard Weber in it is worth a listen for me. Cheers!
