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.

$ for me too, and "right-Alt" 5 is a Euro sign €

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Happy Birthday!

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

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!

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

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...

I like his 70's stuff best: "Closing Time" and "Small Change" are my favorites. "Saturday Night" and "Mule Variations" are very nice as well.

These are the kind of threads that make me come back to Headfi. I'm listening to Albert Ayler's Spirits Rejoice and Eric Dolphy's Far Cry. This music is intense and fascinating, even though I'm still not sure how to interpret some of it. I also checked out more music from Sun Ra, but quickly...

Anyone tried these two headphones? I'm looking for a pair in the EUR 70,- pricerange. The Philips looks nice enough but I can't really find any good info about them.

I've been reading a bit on this forum but still have a hard time finding the right player for my needs. I have a few requirements: - >30Gig HDD - long battery life (preferably over 20h) - smallish - color display NOT a requirement - Able to drag and drop files from Windows explorer -...

I like mp3shop.nl. They ship to the Netherlands and Belgium. Lot's of mp3-players but also Sennheiser, AKG, Koss, and Creative headphones in stock!

Here's a bigger version of above picture: I know they're available here at only Euro 149,- while the normal HD595 is Euro 199,-

My fav's in the genre are Gas: Zauberberg Vladislav Delay: Multila These albums were recommended to me by Scrypt a while back and have grown more and more on me over time. A search for those threads would be a good thing to do.

I like DMST quite a bit. They are actually quite different from Godspeed YBE! and side projects, not as climax driven and more a band instead of an orchestra. & Yet & Yet is a good place to start. Also, listen to some samples, for example at amazon.co, to get a bit of an idea what DMST is all about.
