This is a mix I made in antic­i­pa­tion of an entry I hope to post later this week. It con­sists of 8 songs that I think demon­strate a trend that was devel­op­ing in 2000 that con­tin­ued to evolve through­out the decade. What I’m think­ing of is the use of elec­tronic ele­ments in non-dance music. Not all of the songs here are “elec­tronic,” and, in fact, most of them are not “elec­tronic” in a straight, tidy way. That’s the fun part, I think.

Please lis­ten, observe, and share sim­i­lar­i­ties and dis­tinc­tions you notice, or feel­ings evoked by the electronic/ambient ele­ments in dif­fer­ent songs.

[Note: I was also eager to give 8tracks a whirl. If you’d pre­fer, you can lis­ten to this mix on the 8tracks web­site.]
