Styles for Relaxation

by Various Artists

supported by

Scott An interesting collection. Many songs have some of that special Warp/Artificial Intelligence sound without sounding like copycats. Nice arrangement of tracks, too. I like this! Favorite track: Program 1 - Side A.

Mister Meows Sometimes you just really, really need something you can chill out to and escape the hellhole of this year. Favorite track: Program 1 - Side A.

Harrison Phinney all gorgeous, "TV Sky" may be my favorite. Good mixture of ambient and beat tracks, soft percussion and pads abound. Appropriate for late night love sessions and lazy Sunday afternoons alike. Thanks to all the contributors Favorite track: Program 2 - Side A.

"Masterfully curated & sequenced dual cassette compilation by Portland insider cabal New Information spanning the furthest fusions of ambient cruise, vaporous leisure, and retrograde house. Named in homage to a Portland new age boutique active during the 1970’s and 80’s run by the Stiles sisters whose merchandising ephemera lingers on in second-hand shops around the city, Styles For Relaxation was assembled across the bulk of 2016 by astute vibe-o-phile Andrew Heuback. Many artists included reside in the Pac Northwest but others hail from Japan, Russia, England, Europe, and other far flung geographies. 120 magic minutes of glowing motion & lucid dreaming by an eclectic cast of visionaries. Early contender for compilation of the year." - Britt Brown, Not Not Fun / 100% Silk
