No doubt it is an acquired sound. I couldn't stand listening from most of the tracks on either Drukqs disc all the way through. Then one night I sat on my grandmother's porch while visiting my home town, got lifted of some west cost feel good and let the music play in my headphones. Druqks might actually be my favorite album now. Some of the specific Analords can't go unrecognized.
Very true. I also have a soft spot for the Richard D. James album.

These guys remind me of a band called Mouse On Mars. It's cool stuff, I haven't heard a ton of Boards Of Canada before but I really loved that ambient beginning. It made me feel like I was floating in space haha.
I didn't know Amon Tobin did the Splinter Cell soundtrack, that's badass. I've heard a bit of his stuff and some of it didn't catch me right away but that tune you posted was pretty badass, very Splinter Cell-ish.

I think this thread lacks Gong!
This reminds me a ton of Shpongle, which is fucking awesome! I like it a lot, very funky, tribal and spacey music.

That is pretty interesting. It's funny how so much of science is now just confirming what many indigenous cultures have known for centuries (not specifically this article but it's a similar situation).

Aphex is good to space out too. But, I repeat, he was a disappointment live. Too mellow.
Venetian Snares raped him in performance on Dour last year.
Also, crazy parties in my town this month. Check it out:

All within walking distance from my home. Yarrrrrrr!!!
Very nice options you got there haha. Don't know a ton of the artists but I see one does nintendocore, which I love.
Sounds like a blast, enjoy man.
As for Aphex, I have seen some videos of him live, never actually seen him though. It seems like hard music to see live given how sporadic the beats are if they exist, and if they don't exist, it's very ambient.
