Come on, you didn't really think I was just going to leave you with PICTURES of an AEI Christmas Soundscapes tape, and not a RECORDING of one, did you? (You must not know me too well, then...)

This is an early example of DMX/AEI cobranding, which would probably date it to at least mid-2001, since that's when the merger happened - they usually produced their Christmas music programmes between June and August or so (couldn't be a better time of year to do that, when you think about it). DMX kept the Soundscapes series alive until 2004 when they dispensed with it entirely. Not much more to say on that front, though you can hear some very late examples of it on 4350 Satisfaction.

DOWNLOADING
When downloading this recording e.g. for local listening or to post elsewhere, please select only the original high-bitrate PCM ("WAVE" option) files. The lossy MP3 files for immediate previewing in the built-in Web player above were encoded from the PCM files using LAME 3.100 Linux (command $ lame -b128 -mm -o -q0 "filename.wav") but for optimal listening please download and use the PCM version. The FLAC files listed are Archive's own autoderivatives and I cannot provide technical support if you download them. Master files are encoded as 44100 Hz 16-bit linear PCM (RIFF header). The unprocessed tape-in files are also provided for reference.

To stream this programme as a sequence in an external media player (e.g. VLC), open the "VBR M3U" file in your player's playlist editor and select "play". To stream individual files, load the file you want from the "WAVE" option into your player directly.

LICENCE
For private listening (home/headphones/car) and historic preservation only. If you want to play this music in a business, you will need to contact Mood Media and set up a subscription. Subject to additional usage conditions.
