    Layered Listening - akin to Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd

    Steve Burns - Songs for Dust Mites This album had a lot of help from the members of Flaming Lips. Same production levels and very similar layering techniques. It actually gets criticized for sounding too much like Yoshimi.

    good electronic music to relax to?

    Manual - glitch ambient electronic from Jonas Munk. Absolutely incredible stuff. If you can get a copy of "Summer Sun" with Syntacks, it gets even better with heavy turntablism.

    Building My First Stereo for ~$800

I have an average system already for that and I'm much more concerned about music than movies. I have a Game Theater XP right now, and I wasn't going...

    Building My First Stereo for ~$800
