## What 3 lists say

### No. 8 in [Ambient](https://waxonia.com/genre/ambient/)

A Rickie Lee Jones interview, a Steve Reich sample and a house beat. Ambient house arrives fully formed, funny, and far cleverer than its reputation suggests.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — Sounds Like a Single](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-sounds-like-a-single/)

A sampled interview, a Steve Reich loop and a beat, assembled into something that should not work at all. The line between a remix and a record is nowhere to be found on it.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)

A Rickie Lee Jones interview, a Steve Reich pulse and a Pat Metheny sample, assembled into something oddly moving. Ambient house begins and mostly ends here.
