@Draco_V_Ecliptic If you like ambient stuff, try the “ambient focus” playlists on BBC Sounds.

EDIT: whoops, double post thanks to a twitchy finger there.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I probably will try a bit more actually... it has triggered a bit of curiosity. I figure that I'll pretty much always be a podcast guy when I'm doing something but it doesnt hurt to mix it up every now and then 👍

@Thrillho Thanks, checking it out on BBC Sounds now. First track is pleasant but none of it compares to the mighty Brian Eno, I can tell that even fairly early on in the podcast.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic They’re nice playlists to work to and they’re curated by different people so have different vibes. I’ve listened to some of the classical ones for similar reasons as I quite like modern classical music to work to as well.

This is from an album I picked up recently from one playlist;

@Jimmer-jammer I'll be sure to check out CKUA, I love classical music and admire the philosophy of the DJs being able to play whatever they would like to. I hope you enjoy Late Junction, you can stream it online, you just need to sign up for a free BBC account, give it a try and let me know what you think of whichever episode you decide to listen to.

@Jimmer-jammer Thanks, listening now, they are currently playing The Moody Blues - just seguewayed into Tannis Slimmon - nice!. What kind of obscure records do you like and what would you recommend within that style?

@Thrillho Listened to the track you posted and really enjoyed it. Do you like any Max Richter work, Late Junction on BBC Radio 3 and/or Brian Eno's solo material?

@Jimmer-jammer By obscure I meant more leftfield?

@Jimmer-jammer Alice Kemp ,Kate Carr, Amirtha Kidambi & her Elder Ones outfit. Did you listen to Late Junction? They have played a lot of what I like, including all those artists, and should give you a feel for what I mean.

@Jimmer-jammer You're welcome

Any other Mogwai fans? I'm looking forward to the new album after hearing the second track they've released for it. I do like the few tracks they do with vocals.

I'm listening to Bambino by Maria Short.

@Thrillho I like Mogwai (Kids Will Be Skeletons is probably one of my favourite tracks from back in the day)

Haven’t listened to them for a few years though, I’ll get them on Spotify.

@kyleforrester87 I really liked their last album (Every Country's Sun) and they did the soundtrack to a film killed Kin which is worth a listen too (even if the film is supposed to be rubbish).

Phil Spector dying is a weird one for me. I absolutely love his Wall of Sound production style with The Ronettes among others and it led to genres like shoegaze but then he was a convicted murderer. It’s hard to really feel anything when he was, in the simplest of terms, a very bad man.

Woooow, so the BBC went with ‘talented but flawed’ to describe Spector. Yeahhhh, like the ‘talented but flawed’ Doctor Harold Shipman then. Jeez.

@Thrillho you got me listening to this now, haven’t heard it in years! Used to love this track

@Thrillho @kyleforrester87 I've got The Hawk is Howling, and plan to get Happy Songs for Happy People, have either or both of you heard Glasgow Mega-Shake?, now that is a "bangin'!" track.

@TheBrandedSwordsman
Banging music ?
Try to listen this DDR A20+ song. 😉

@nessisonett What have you been listening to recently? I tried the Plantasia album and it felt like something was growing inside me Decided to seek medical help! lmao (just joking, obviously)
