Burial

I have always been so intrigued with Post-rock and Ambient music because for me it has the ability to evoke emotion from deep within. And a wide array of emotions at that: loneliness, joy, emptiness, depression, happiness, hope. That is exactly why this music is so addicting to me. And on a whole I cannot find other types of music that spark so much emotion from within. However, that is not to say other music cannot do the same. I have found that Doom, Drone, and even in the case of today's post, Dub, can do the same. I have never restricted myself to one type of music, but I think I have a lot to learn from other types of music. I came across the song "Forgive" by Burial about six months ago and have not stopped listening to him since. His music truly moves me. I am not sure where I am going with this, I guess all I can say is...cheers to music that has the power to change your mood.

Tycho

I am confused as to how I had not heard Tycho until today. I've been listening to The Album Leaf for the past four years, but haven't visited his Last FM page in a grip. When I visited the page today someone commented about Tycho, there are definitely some similarities. Ahhhh, music discovery.
