Oh man, if you wanted some rain, Lenny Penne has literal rain for the first 1:30 before the beats come in, and then again for the last 2 minutes of the track.

True! But too many beats! Too exciting a track. I was trying to keep it downtempo. Like even Please Help Me is mashed with some NIN strings to keep it depressing.

Another one. All of these have a kind of sonic theme. This one is that sort of low-fi, downtempo breakbeat sound exemplified by DJ Shadow and Massive Attack back int he day, mixed with some complimentary stuff I think blends well.

It's harder to mix ambient stuff than dance stuff!
