 | Far Away Trains Passing By by Ulrich Schnauss
Buy used from: $57.61 Is there a prettier song than "Knuddelmaus"? Is there a bad song by this guy? I'd say no to both. This is gorgeous stuff.
|
 | Humbucking Coil by B. Fleischmann
Buy used from: $19.94 "Static Grate" is one of the most truly beautiful songs I've ever heard, right up there with "Pachebel's Canon" and "Ashoken Farewell."
|
 | Invisible Airline by Q-Burns Abstract Message
Buy used from: $0.58 "Dreamland." Now there's a song. Holy cow. Everything I look for in a song is right there. It sounds beautiful, it's got a crazy build, kicky drums, a funky beat, and more. So good.

 | The Art of Chill 2 by Jon Hopkins
The song "Khanada" by Reporter, is I think a cover of a Duran Duran song, but it's just gorgeous. It's on here, and so are songs by a lot of other great chill-out electronica artists.

 | Best of Chillout Hits, Vol. 1 by Various Artists
Buy used from: $2.98 This is a compilation, but it sounds as if it would be a good one. I particularly want it for the "Les Nuits" remix it has from Nightmares in Wax.
|
 | Souvenir by Jose Padilla
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $5.34 I don't like clowns, but "I Like Clowns" is a great song. Very unusual, with elements of trip-hop.
|
 | Carboot Soul by Nightmares on Wax
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.98 "Les Nuits" is a great song, and Nightmares in Wax is consistently good.
|
 | Caribou - Marino by Caribou
Buy used from: $9.96 This is actually two things from my very favorite electronic artists. The first is a CD with four killer songs on it unavailable elsewhere. The second is a DVD with music videos on it. No one does electronica better than Caribou.
|
 | Blue Sky Objective by Emulsion
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $0.01 This album has a lot of great songs as well, though it feels more about creating a general mood than anything.
|
 | Dead Ringer by Rjd2
Buy used from: $11.09 Though it's already been featured in a zillion movies and even a minivan commercial, "Ghostwriter" has a build that has to be heard. Such a great song.
