I've just been listening to 9 beet stretch as suggested by Librarian64.

It's very interesting. I can understand why it would suit an observing session - you'd pretty much call it the definition of 'atmospheric' music. It's unique.

I suspect it was an existing recording that was slowed down. I only listened through my laptop's speakers, so I couldn't really assess the quality of the sound.

I think I might download the entire collection, although I'm not sure when I'd listen to it. I think it would be difficult to listen to for extended periods of time because of the perceived lack of melody: it is pure atmosphere.

For background music, I like to listen to the following:

kind of blue - miles davis (a definitive jazz album)
only - tommy emmanuel (modern instrumental guitar)
noctures - chopin (classical piano)
suite espanola - albeniz (classical guitar)

then again, i might just put on some jj cale or listen to the cricket commentary!
