    Ambient Dub Techno --- what's the best of this genre out there?

    Enterhiro is spot on with his Gas recommendation. Zauberberg is also a fantastic album.Andy Stott's  'We stay together' is also deep. Don't know if it's techno AND ambient AND dub though, I've never understood composite mini genres.

    Quick response: Recommend a bike shop in NYC.

    I think the best bikeshops are those with a good and prominent workshop. Is it nice and tidy? Are the tools reasonably new and well organised? Is there any wheel building going on? Also, snobby staff means no good.

    Anyone else knocked out by the Mountain Goats?

    I'm raising this thread from the dead, I just got their amazing "The Sunset Tree". This is a fantastic album. I sampled a few other albums, but making lo-fi into an artform isn't really my thing. Any other MG albums that are comparable to The Sunset Tree?

    Artists similar to Arvo Part

    Arvo Part is often connected to medieval and renaissance music, especially his choral efforts. Victoria's Requiem and Palestrina's "Missa Papae Marcelli" might be worth looking into.

    Bjork: where to start?

    I'm very fond of Björk, but only since Homogenic (Debut and Post never really interested me). If you're coming from Sigur Ros, I'd recommend starting there. Then Vespertine (my fav), Selmasongs and Medulla.

    My Morning Jacket "Dondante"

    I've been a MMJ fanboy eversince I saw them playing live back in 2000. Since then they have evolved from a bunch of shyish nerdy types playing accoustic songs to a great rockband. Their new albums always surprise me as they are definately not afraid to try something new.

    Recommendations for light/chillax/acoustic Guitar Sessions - Sample Inside.

    Not exactly like the sample you posted, but I recommend John Fahey's fingerpicking. Especially the earlier years.

    Sennheiser MX750

    So I finally got to compare the MX750's to the MX550's. I find their sound signature and balance to be very similar. However, the MX750's are just a bit more resolving and have a bit more "air" to them. I'd say these are just a slightly more refined version of the MX550's!

    Ninja Tunes

    I like their more jazzy outings: Jaga Jazzist: The Stix, A Living Room Hush Skalpel: Konfusion Rainstick Orchestra:The Floating Glass Key in the Sky The Cinematic Orchestra: Man With the Movie Camera NT's other releases are probably also worth exploring

    Which dap's have folder browsing?

    In my quest for a dap I noticed that not every player supports browsing by filetree / folder. My music collection is organized in folders (first artist, then albums). The id3 tags in my mp3's are not very consistent as I have never cared for that. So folder browsing is an absolute must for my...
