A meditative playlist...

Held dinner at the Church followed by a prayer and contemplation session last night... Thankfully it was reasonably well attended.

I wanted to create a meditative atmosphere with music, so I mixed the following playlist on a CD using “Toast and Jam”:

1) “Danger of Hell” by Thomas Newman (taken from the Green Mile soundtrack)
2) “Monastery at La Rabiba” by Vangelis (taken from “1492: The Conquest of Paradise”)
3) “Rachel’s Song” by Vangelis (taken from the Bladerunner soundtrack)
4) “The Shimmering Wake” by Golden Sun (taken from “Manual & Syntaks”)
5) “When I survey” by Iona (taken from “Journey into the Morn”)
6) “It is done” by John Debney (taken from the Passion of the Christ soundtrack)
7) “More than just enough” by Sarah Luneack (taken from “In the wind”)
8) “God moving over the water” by Moby (taken from “Everything is Wrong”)
9) “A living prayer” by Alison Krauss & Union Station (taken from “Lonely runs both ways”)

The selection works well... although the piano loop on Moby’s track is a wee bit repetitive to new listeners. I’m going to develop this idea of backing meditative time to music and am looking for beautifully atmospheric ambient music without beats. Any ideas?
