Either with vocals or without. Can range from Music Has
the Right to Children to Eluvium's Talk Amongst the Trees.
Help me out.

Right now I'm really into Raymond Scott. "Manhattan Research
Inc" is really lovely and great.

A very good selection, I never tire of recommending, are the
free (don't let that put you off) albums available for
download on the Sutemos label, particularly:

V/A : Flow.ers (Sutemos008)
Lys : Naunuee (Sutemos004)
V/A : Intelligent Toys (Sutemos002)
V/A : Intelligent Toys 2 (Sutemos007)

and probably all the other releases. I'm usually very
sceptical of net labels as I'm absurdly prejudiced and old
but these are exceptional.

got them, they're all high-class!

I'd aloso recommend this on Autoplate, and also
Fernando Lagreca's album "Nadador".

That's what i came in here to mention.

The tired sounds of stars of the lid.

The album POP by Gas is essential also.

And for god's sakes PUB!!!

The "Summer" ep by Pub, or ">single" especially. Criminally
underheard.

How about "Victorialand" by Cocteau twins?

"The pearl" by Brian Eno and Harold Budd?

"Lucky cat" by Isan?

Or with more beats, "go hawaii" or "whole numbers play the
basics" by Casino Versus Japan.

The usual suspects.

Has nowigotworry ever come back to claim his
recommendations?
