Long Ambients 1: Calm. Sleep. is the twelfth studio album by American electronica musician Moby. It was released on February 25, 2016, as a free download on his Little Pine restaurant Web site and his own Web site.[1][2] The album consists of around four hours of recordings Moby produced for his own personal listening, which he subsequently made available for downloading and streaming without cost or licensing.[2] In March 2019, Moby released a follow-up ambient album, Long Ambients 2.
Paul Simpson of AllMusic viewed the album positively, calling it an "incredibly beautiful, immersive listening experience". He felt that the tracks were easy to "get lost in, or maybe succumb to, as it feels like there's no way out", while working "magnificently" as sleeping or relaxing music to calm listeners down.[3]
