Oh great!
Well, I'm into ambient, easy stuff, not as elaborated as Kraftwerk, for
example. I've been listening to Air for 2 days now and simply love it.
What do you recommend?
Sorry if I am not knowledgeable in terms and names, but can we call
Air 'easy listening'?
If you like Air, I might recommend Royskopp - similar enough, bit Poppy though.
If you want to go softer again - highly recommend "Mum" from iceland, great for listening to in bed whilst nodding off, dreamy stuff.
For totally dreamy/drifty stuff - Eingya by Helios - excellent album, just floats along...
I you want that with glitchy/breaky beats on top - Board of Canada, or Kelpe (Both highly recommended)
more... Ulrich Schnauss (spelling?) old but 2 excellent albums
or Hot Chip... they're new enough, very fresh but light/positive upbeat sound.
All above are electronic, might recommend Lali Puna if you want above mixed with guitar/vocals.
