This one is a lot about nostalgia. A few years ago I was really into electronic music, especially this kind of slower, peaceful good spirited bands.

Featured are two beautiful songs: Nitin Sawhney's organic fusion of electronic and world music (before turning the auto-pilot on the next records) and Flunk, with one of the best covers ever recorded, one that really reworks the original keeping it recognisable. Chari Chari tropicallia/jazz mix is just beautiful, a pearl in a uneven album.

There is also space for three of my favourite albums ever. First, the night-masterpiece "Midnight Sound" by Flanger. It's one of those albums that are definitely not for every taste, but it's quietness is just magic for me.

Air's "Moon Safari" is one of those very rare perfect albums. Filled with perfect pop (even in the instrumentals) is one of the reasons I've learned how to play bass. The opener track, "La Femme d'Argent" is perfect bass + keyboard music.

Finally, the "once in a lifetime" (unfortunately) Peace Orchestra. The track I chose is the single and it's really different from the rest of the album, but it's just as amazing and filled with the spirit that made the album so special.

Enjoy!
