Trippin' Travel ESL '76
This is an 8-hour mix that focuses on non-Western artists who are singing in English, showing how far the disco psychedelic influence of Western culture had spread by the mid-70s. The lyrics are life-affirming.

WZZZ 100.1FM Drifts to Sleep '76
This 12+ hour instrumental ambient fake radio station mix is super chill. Also includes samples of Buckminster Fuller, whose geodesic dome from Montreal's Expo '67 can be seen aflame in '76 on the cover.

Funkstrumentals '76
The fourteenth mix in this series is 13+ hours worth of instrumental funk, soul, and associated jazz that all kinda fits into a rather contemporary instrumental hip-hop/breakbeats box. This is basically a beat tape, yo.
