I have Ambient 3, The Music Of Changes, the one with the FSOL mix of Darshana
by Sylvian/Fripp... I think it's the best ambient comp I've got...
Aside from the FSOL and Eno tracks, I'd have to say that one of my
favorites from this comp is on the 2nd CD: Mustt Mustt, by Nusrat Fateh Ali
Khan.. the thing that strikes me about this track is the way the vocals
make up a good part of the melody... I've heard plenty of songs with ethnic
instruments, but very few of them contain vocals. It stands out among all
the other tracks in that respect, and is one of my favorites because of
it.
I also think it'd sound really nice if they'd do away with the bass and
hi-hats, and maybe use a tom or two for the drum part... just something
simple and emphasize the vocals as much as possible.
If you haven't gotten this comp yet, and are looking for a wide range of
music to listen to, I highly recommend it!
