What album are you listening tonight?

[TheFactsOfLife]

I'm not sure how this came across my desktop, but I'm enjoying it. To Dust, by  Built to Fade. A bit groove/ electro soft soul-funk; a sort of Morcheeba, Thievery Corporation, Zero 7, The Polish Ambassador blend... but that is probably not very accurate. Still, a nice listen. Not challenging, but something that one could settle into. Nice solid layering of sounds. Probably suits a solid chardonay more than a peaty scotch. If that helps. Found on Deezer.

Not sure how to describe this, but I like it very much.

Yes, very good.
I had no idea of its existence.
Too bad they only made one album.

Glad you like it. I've listened to it a couple of times. Not with intense attention, but it is an easy sort of album to have in the background and then focus on when something catches your ear. Now I just need someone with ROON to tell me about similar and related artists and albums....

As is often said when a brand is mentioned, other options are available, for example

Porcupine Tree "Fear of a Blank Planet"

[Damon]

How much amplifier power do I need to listen to.... oops. My mind must be contaminated by that other discussion. As an antidote, I recommend Bones of Man, by Equador. Modern, electro-pop in the melodic ambient class generally. Some breathy female vocals, but also some chord changes and progressions that are not the usual pablum. Nicely recorded (I think) with tone/ texture on instruments that invites one's attention. Its in my favourites to spend more time with.

Broadly compatible with Emancipator, Hiatus, The Polish Ambassador.
