Making a compilation for an Exmoor holiday but feeling strangely uninspired. Doesn't have to be hugely thematic, more atmospheric. I know this is only going to work if I own the tracks but I'm having one of those nights where I look at three bookcases of CDs and think "Hmm".

A couple of things come to mind: anything by Flying Saucer Attack (especially 'Oceans' natch); Philip Jeck's An Ark for the Listener; and, because it's damp and autumnal, Hex by Bark Psychosis - particularly 'Eyes and Smiles'.

Anyone heard the CD of Robert Macfarlane/Jackie Morris' "The Lost Words"? Seemingly has "sounds" by Chris Watson.

Physical copies have sold out but here's an album inspired by "Landmarks" - has an essay by MacFarlane, too.
