A Qobuz recommendation. It reminds me of London Grammar's "If You Wait".
Good tip. One for the list....

Somafm 'groove salad' station on internet radio, streamed through the chromecast audio - I've found it hard to pull myself away from it, it's like it was programmed just for me and it sounds pretty good despite the 64Aac stream.
I'm new to Internet radio, but the Chromecast and this station combined this weekend have provided the most enjoyment and best value in music over the past 12 months. Just goes to show (and to remind myself) that it's not all about fidelity. If you like electronic/ambient/chilled out grooves, check it out!

Ha ha I wanted to comment on your post on another thread but resisted. I do believe you are spot on about music first. We sometime spend too much time on tweaking and has lesser time to enjoy our music. For me, I have hard time pulling away from Spotify as their playlists are just right for me.

Musicforcats.com's crowd funded first album 'album 1'
(For the current smallest family member, although it's not unpleasant for anyone else, far from it in fact!)
fascinating stuff and great to see boundaries being explored.
