Gosh didn't know she put something out in 25! Miss the old Goldfrapp. This sounds like something that would have been on the Head First album. Thanks for surfacing it for me!

Yeah - this will be the winner. Not something I'd queue up, but one can recognize special, when one hears it.

Oklou, choke enough: “Thank You for Recording” is minimal, fragile, and deeply atmospheric. For me, the physical world disappears, and only the music remains.

Hmmm - thank you for sharing - in the Tidal queue for a listen.
 
Discovered this, as many other things, by reading about it online. The old fashioned way, someone recommended it, the way they talked about it intrigued me and I searched for it.

"Blue" Gene Tyranny, Out of the Blue (1977). The whole album should be listened to on repeat... but this track, "Leading a Double Life", had me crying midway the first time I encountered it, and I couldn't understand why. Just kills me every time. Avant Garde, but not as we know it. By far, my most listened to record in 2025.

 
Patricia Wolf is an ambient musician friend. This is from her first movie score. The filmmaker reminisces on growing up in Iceland with historic family material and new shots.

A great place to discover new talent is the KEXP live in-studio shows. They do a good job of finding rising talent.

looked up the tidal version, although not my usual type of music, it's really impressive on the 8030C in a horrible room
