A nice set of remixes. I am particularly fond of the Matthew Dear mix of Flat For You. A good mix of vocals and nice sounding IDM stuff.

The Third Eye Foundation - You Guys Kill Me (1998)

Label: Domino Recording Company Ltd.
Catalog#: WIGCD53
Format: CD, Album
Country: UK
Released: Nov 1998
Genre: Electronic, Rock
Style: Drum n Bass, Post Rock, Experimental
4.26 / 5 (43 votes)
Think Radiohead doing drum n bass. Matt Elliott's early experimental dnb project is some of the fiercest and fastest music I have ever heard in this style. It still sounds as fresh as ever. I deeply respect Matt as a musician, and his choice to put this project on the back burner and pursue a career as a solo acoustic musician, who still channels the same melancholy, depressing and frustrated emotions but in a completely different musical style. In addition to his solo stuff, Matt still manages to remix many a big named musician under his 3EF moniker.
Channel the frustration Matt. We are listening.

Mount Kimbie - Sketch On Glass EP (2009)
Album Download
Purchase Album
Label: Hotflush Recordings
Catalog#: HF023
Format: Vinyl, 12"
Country: UK
Released: Aug 2009
Genre: Electronic
Style: Illbient, Dubstep, Experimental
4.79 / 5 (14 votes)
From the official Mount Kimbie facebook page: "The minds behind Mount Kimbie, Dominic Maker and Kai Campos, both 22, met at university and began making music together in a home studio in Peckham. Hints of their influences from hip hop, jazz, dubstep and experimental electronica can be heard in their productions."
Mount Kimbie is like a cleaner sounding version of Flying Lotus, from England, working more in the vein of dubstep rather than hip hop. Their first EP, Maybes, experiments with ambient soundscapes mixed with the heavy compression bass beat flylo style. This album is a bit dancier and cleaned up. I can't help but move my entire body when I listen to this.

This release is amazing. Axel Willner incorporates live drumming and vocals into his signature hypnotic loop lock style. The tracks are both refreshing and what you would expect of The Field. Sequenced is 15 minutes of synth looping bliss with crescendos of different live drum beats in the background. Download this.

One of my favorite pieces of music of all time. Erik Kowalski's sounds are less like music and more like ethereal forces that warm the room in which they are played. I would listen to this album each night as I fell asleep for many months. I like all of CVJ's work, but there is something unique about his first release.

Mastered By - Lupo*
Written-By, Producer - Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson
Notes: Mastered at Dubplates & Mastering Berlin
Rating: 4.82/5 (125 votes)
Icelandic producer Yagya (Aðalsteinn Guðmundsson) has been creating atmospheres through melody and sounds for more than a decade. A definitive member of the Thule Musik collective, Yagya also is known for his work as half of Sanasol and also the famed Plastic.
A student of computer science at the University of Iceland Yagya spends his free time creating music on his computer. He concentrates on atmospheres and moods and tries to reflect the beauty of the world around him in the sounds of his music. He seeks influence in the works of Gas, Philip Glass, Basic Channel, Brian Eno and anything that is true to itself and it's ideas. Yagya concentrates on the softer side of music and avoids heavy rhythms. He finds harmony and beauty in the simple sounds of nature and wants his music to flow naturally through the listener.
