Mostly modern classical, ambient, emotional.
Nathan Fake – Providence Reworks: Part II
Nathan Fake – Evaporator
Leftfield downtempo daytime techno. (I realized that I don’t like my indietronica definition, so I’m experimenting again.)
Old Saw – The Wringing Cloth
When I do day dreaming about roaming the wide open fields of North America, fishing in a mountain river, sleeping under the skies near the campfire, and collecting the stories of the countryside, this is the music that I hear. It’s an atmospheric ambient country thing.
Naibu – Abandon
This is another one of those leftfield indietronica albums. Although this one is not so indie and not IDM at all, rather emotional slow tempo broken beats with live instrumentation. Since it self-identifies as coming from a drum and bass angle, it reminds me of 4 Hero, although this one is slower, more modern, and still falls a lot closer to the Apparat bandwagon than anything dnb-related.
Burning Pyre – Imago
Dub, triphop, soft IDM. Mood exactly like the album cover.
IE – Reverse Earth
It’s like Dead Can Dance with a spaced out psychedelic tone, ambient tempo, and occasional spoken word. Amazing for work and focus.
Barker – Stochastic Drift
Soothing slow-tempo electronic music, sometimes IDM, sometimes with acoustic components. Great to focus and work by.
Djrum – Under Tangled Silence
From ambient through experimental electronics and IDM to modern classical. Quite a journey. Great listen with a focus and in the background as well.
The Black Dog – Loud Ambient
Easy-to-listen IDM for focus and doing stuff.
Conforce – Dawn Chorus
Another great album that helps while working. Ambient techno.
