styleguides gets lost somewhere inbetween krautrock, cosmic, ambient exotica and new age. most of these styleguide tracks are classics from the late 70s and early 80s as usual, but this time there a few newer ambient tracks inbetween too.

bonus video is manuel göttsching’s minimalistic one hour opus ‘e2-e4′ in full psychadelica from klaus schulze’s inteam record label 1984, sampled for the no1 hit ’sueño latino’ in germany and uk 1989.
