I guess I should start with a warning for regular visitors: this mix is different from what you're used to. First: it's definitely not an "ambient mix", although there's quite a lot of ambience involved in this music. Second: it's not a compilation mix, but a mix featuring the music of one artist only: Michel Banabila. --- originally published on Ambientblog ---
This mix is not a 'Best of Banabila', neither is it a collection of personal favourites (in that case it would be a lot longer!). Looking back on this mix, I see a painful amount of tracks-that-should also-have-been-included.... But it covers a lot of different aspects of Michel Banabila's musical world.A world built from "Streets, Dreams and Memories", waiting to be discovered by those with open ears..
