Land, Nunc Stans
Free download of Land from Nunc Stans on the ping things label. Long spacey drones, a bit synthy for my taste, but it's free, so decide for yourself.
Via the excellent hiddenplace music.

Housekeeping
Just a few things to note about changes here on the site. 1. I've begun pointing to Amazon.com MP3 downloads rather than eMusic.com. The selection is much deeper now than it was when the service debuted. And you don't need to be a subscriber to grab a track or a full record. Seems more useful for more people. Also, if you end up downloading anything, a few pennies get kicked over to Ambient Music Blog.
2. Speaking of pennies, I'm experimenting with some ads on the site. So far they've been nothing to write home about, and I'm leaning towards maybe removing them at some point. But I'm giving them a go after being kind of opposed to the idea in principle for so long.
3. I've taken to just posting a record cover and a link to a place where you can hear the tracks. I'm not much interested in talking about these records. My hope is that you can trust that after a few years of doing this site, if I post a link to something, it's probably worth your time to have a listen. No sense in me getting in the way of that by trying to write clever things about how the record sounds. Just go listen yourself.
That's it. Lots of posts in the queue, thanks for reading, and I hope you find something worth listening to.

Norwegian duo Deaf Center will be playing a Wordless Music Series show in September in New York City. I've been listening to their records lately, good stuff.
