A simply stunning, beautiful 'pop' album from Brian Eno. Well, pop given an avant garde soundscape treatment. The production is outstanding. The bass is tremendous and at times feels more like a heartbeat to the music. The stereo effects with my headphones mean I am surrounded by sounds. It feels as if the music it is arriving and then leaving like trains entering and exiting a station filmed at high speed. The opening track 'This' is my favourite.

The Soft Pack(formerly The Muslims)-The Muslims EP

Quite a raw sounding north american indie rock/garage band,that was recommended by a friend and am thoroughly enjoying listening to.
 
I have always liked the repetitive looping rhythms of Philip Glass, of which the various '....quatsi' albums are my favourite and now I can add to that list of one. The Daniel Variations is variously credited to Ensemble Modern and Steve Reich. It is a classical, instrumental album of finely played tracks in the same style.

More repetitive looped music with Robert Fripp and frippertronics from the League of Crafty Guitarists. Listening to the album off Grooveshark, so the sound is quite bright. The music is instrumental jazz guitars that work around each other like the banjo/guitar classic duel. I love it.

Avant garde/art rock from Rain Tree Crow and their self titled album. This was a one off reformation of most of the band Japan and it is a super mellow, electronica, soundscape in a 1980s style. If you like Depeche Mode or later Roxy Music slower stuff, you will like this. Then a David Sylvian, Robert Fripp collaboration, with Sylvians mellow, laid back style set to Fripps frenetic, industrial guitars and it works.
