Ben Z. What a tremendous find. So grateful for soothing music in a chaotic world. Favorite track: Purple Wisteria Tree Sound.

MDonaldson (8sided.blog) Spacious, melodic, and far from mechanical or ordinary. “Vending Machine Sound” in particular gives our ears a visceral variety — layers of mesmerizing, shimmering tones fade into a chorus of voices and footsteps. And then those noises succumb to warm bendy chords alternating in the stereo field, like an interim track on that lost mid-90s My Bloody Valentine album. As with Elijah's Blue Sun Daydream, this is a gorgeous diversion, transporting and soothing the listener within its sonic world. Favorite track: Vending Machine Sound.

Jepa_ One of my favorite ambient albums. Reminds me of Hiroshi Yoshimura. Favorite track: Purple Wisteria Tree Sound.

about

A miniaturized ambient experience, "Music For Vending Machines 1" is the first installment in a series of micro-releases, recorded onto type one cassette tape.

The album explores the essence of three different environments, condensing them for an easy listening experience. Much like something purchased from a vending machine.
