As always with this series, my latest Saltwater Music mix is quite a personal affair. For once it doesn’t consist of music that has been the soundtrack for a lifestyle centered around great bodies of saltwater, but mainly of tunes from the generally strange, yet musically marvelous year that lies behind us. An all-instrumental hour of dubby dopeness, Balearic bliss, ambientesque calm, quite a few guitars, a glimpse of Spaghetti Western, cocktails on the flight deck, and all that jazz. Tracklist below.
