Was in a pizza show last night and heard a cool song come on.  I whipped out my SoundHound app and found it was by a band called Tycho.  Great background music!  Here's one of their albums:

Reminds me of Boards of Canada

There's a few that are similar, but I was listening to some of Tycho's albums and they seem to have the genre (subgenre?) nailed.
 
Right now I'm enjoying nature's efforts.  It's raining like crazy outside which makes being inside (and crawling into bed) that much nicer.

I actually have that track in a couple of playlists along with a few others. They definitely have a style nailed down - I can't listen to too many tracks of theirs in succession because they start sounding similar (bit like Boards of Canada) but they're great in a playlist. Fantastic atmosphere about them. 
 
I'm still very much smitten with the music of science boffin Floating Points at the minute. He's got that mix of electronic and organic styles down to a tee. This is a great live performance.

Hi,
 
Look up the tube and listen to Klaus Schulze's "Cocooning", which is 3 pieces ... they are amazing!
 
(careful ... do not try to download KS music on mp3 unless it is purchased directly ... the site with his "Contemporary Works #1" is the site distributing the web-start.org virus/rootkit, and the NIC has not shut them down yet!

I've got a bunch of both Floating Points and Klaus Schulze.  I'm STILL going through that Bill Nelson discography (though I think I'm up to 2006 now), but I take breaks to fit in some other things.  Hmm... Which reminds me, I still need to buy that new Djam Karet album!
 
BTW - Cocooning is one of the five discs on his Contemporary II set (the fourth disc I believe) which consists of eight tracks...  (In case you wanted to go looking for it.)

I guess everyone gets heard once for 15 minutes by everyone on the planet.  I read Tape Op and think it's hilarious at the number of *bands* and *artists* that are mentioned.  Have they all retired young and moved to Portland?  Please don't.

Here's another of today's electronic geniuses I think you might like if you don't already Craig - Four Tet. I'm not into everything he's done but this live set is incredible (not least for the light show!) He really does have some beautiful music.

Yep!  I've got quite a bit from him.

I must be getting older than I thought as I just don't have the patience for that. Is the use of software his talent? To each their own. Maybe if I were stoned...
 
I like the LED matrix though.
