Ambientcellist - share and enjoy

Still reactionOne (of the only) requests I've got so far about my yoga classes has been Peter wishing for some music. He's now said it twice so I guess he really means it - so I've been listening to my CDs and thinking about what kind of music would be suitable. I want something instrumental, and I've been playing with the idea of playing some anime music - especially Fullmetal Alchemist and Nausicaä, maybe a bit of Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle thrown in. However I would have to think about the mix quite carefully as it should be very peaceful, and all said soundtracks have some really intensive music that would completely spoil the mood.

So yesterday I was listening to one of the Ambient radio stations on iTunes doing something else when I hear this really interesting piece - ambient with cello, and immediately I knew that would be perfect music for a slow yoga class. Turns out the artist is called Claire Fitch and she has published two CDs called Ambiencellist and Ambiencellist, part II. So while hunting her music I came across Magnatune.com - with a tagline We're not evil - what can you do but love it. This is a great site - I would list all the reasons why they are not evil but it would take too long so I suggest you just go and read it yourselves... I'm just going to say that not only did I get a great deal with the two CDs I bought and downloaded, they also want me to give it away for free for three of my friends.

So if ambient and/or cello is your thing, send me an email and six first lucky ones get a free, legal and high quality download of of one of the Ambiencellist CDs (you can listen to them in their entirety beforehand - how great is that?). In the words of the immortal Douglas Adams: "share and enjoy".
