In less than a month's time, I will embark on a 5 day trek through a small Japanese island in the south called Yakushima. It's basically full on wilderness complete with mountain peaks, sandy beaches, natural hot-springs, waterfalls, 7,000+ year old trees, with more wild monkeys than native people. Also, for anime enthusiasts, this island was the main inspiration for the art-design of Miyazake's Princess Mononoke.
I'm asking for contributions to a grand-themed playlist for these 5 days. I already have some early Animal Collective (Spirit They've Gone), and some Yoshida Brothers for the Japanese vibe. But for anyone else that is into this kinda stuff, I ask how you would construct the ultimate "Spirit of the Forest" playlist.
So please, if you can contribute a song or three. Or if you are really into it, construct a whole playlist! Here are a few pictures and videos of Yakushima to inspire:
*NOTE* the music provided in this video is definitely NOT what I am going for. Nothing against it, but am looking for much more atmospheric, ethereal, and ambient.
That first picture made me think of Bigfoot by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones from their live double album Live Art. Not sure if banjo and synth axe drumitars are your thing, though.

I've done a bit of wilderness/ambient music treks and not sure if you're looking for actual songs, per se, or albums, but I would recommend listening to the Philip Glass "Qotsi" soundtracks - any of the three but I find Koyaaquatsi and the Anthem tracks from Powaqqatsi work best. Also, even though it was written with space landings in mind, I love listening to Brian Eno's Atmospheres and Soundtracks for this kind of thing. And I'm a big fan of Ulrich Schnauss' A Strangely Isolated Place. He's a little more "electronic" than the other two, but there are some real ethereal tracks on that one.

John Zorn - Redbird For Agnes Martin. One of Zorn's classical pieces. Very sparse, atmospheric and haunting I could totally see treking through those picture listening to it. It's on spotify if you want to give it a whirl.
