OK, 102 music makers on AmbientNZ.com now.
I get a bit stressed about the look and feel of the site, but it's just me and I have to focus on its purpose, which is a directory of New Zealand music that might appeal to someone who says they like ambient music.
The essence of DARTZ (cool little rock band from Wellington NZ) is beer + cars + smoke
DARTZ - Hoons
DARTZ - Toyota Corolla
Headless Chickens - Gaskrankinstation
Stan Walker ft. Nauti - One Life
I do it for my people
If we got one love
We only got one time
So make it worth our love
Cos we only got one life
ALIEN WEAPONRY - Holding My Breath
(feeling judged by your peers and not being good enough is a tough time)
Peter Cape's humourous take on coping with adversity - "She'll Be Right"
Upper Hutt Posse - Resistance

Upper Hutt Posse – Maintain
(Filmed at Ihumātao Reclamation Festival, Wellington City and Parliament on delivery of a petition to protect Ihumātao, plus Auckland City at the ‘Love Aotearoa, Hate Racism,’ rally. March 2nd, 12th, & 24th, 2019)
Being staunch
Verlaines - Doomsday
(for the end of a relationship.
I don't know what on earth I was seeing
I always knew it had to end - I didn't start believing
The writing's never on the wall - it covers the ceiling
I ain't gonna persuade you to say, you to say...
Later
Some other time
Tomorrow
Yeah, you're finally sick and tired of the same old way
Sick of rolling round a piece of ground you're off to
find the hay - hey hey!

(FYI lead singer Dr Graeme Downes did his PhD on the symphonies of Mahler. He was the principal songwriter in The Verlaines, and later went on to become a senior lecturer at Otago University teaching band performance, songwriting, analysis, music theory and in the process developed New Zealand's first rock music degree.)
