CatNap

One hour ambient mix from DJ sqgl designed to facilitate dozing... lucid dreaming perhaps but not sleeping! Idea inspired by Albert Catalano, mix was made as a birthday present for Peter Bosma. The source material is unsigned artists from mp3.com circa 1999.
Descends slowly to the point of near silence. Occasional surprises ensure you don't fully sleep (dreams are only remembered if are roused from them). Eventually percussion and beats gently return you to the waking state.
