While I was gathering music for the Desolation Angels mix, I was originally going to have both vocal and instrumental tracks. Once I started putting it together, however, I felt that having a mix of just instrumental and operatic cuts was best. So, I decided to put all of the vocal tracks left over from Desolation Angels together in their own mix which became Tears in Rain. It was actually fairly difficult to find tracks that had both sad lyrics as well as slow, somber backing music. Although somewhat of a departure from my other ambient mixes, I think the sad and melancholy mood I was going for turned out pretty well and the mix serves as a nice companion to Desolation Angels. The title is taken from the film Blade Runner. I hope you like it. This mix is also dedicated to my friend Katie, gone too long.

Hey, it's me again. As I already said I really liked your Desolation Angels Mix... But this one is even better. Awesome music that really fits my mood. Which is awful and awesome, both at the same time, if you know what I mean.
Thanks a lot.

thanks nrv for these mixes. i have been working with "the dharma bums" in the background for two days now. it is MARVELOUS. it is exactly the type of ambient i have been searching on the net. (i'm a huge fan of vangelis/blade-runner, peter gabriel/birdy&passion, al gromer khan, david parsons, just to name a few). Ambient is one of these marvelous things, vital for us artists. i hope you'll keep the passion to do many more.
