Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas mr. Lawrence
Duran Duran - Ordinary World
The Blue Nile - Let’s go out tonight
Astor Piazzolla - Mumuki(i like the Yo-Yo Ma performance, but could not find it)
Xerxes - Lo Fi Beauty

These are a few of many songs i can listen to for hours on their own individual performance without getting bored.
The Blue Nile single currently has the record of being played 3 weeks non-stop repeating in my car every working day i drove with it.

Foo, i doubt anyone is gonna trawl through that… :blink:

Wow! What A Dumb Thing For Me To Do! Thank Heavens You’re Here To Point This Out To Me! Otherwise I’d Be Fuuked.

Amon Tobin / Chocolate Lovely - Overall pretty song. Starts out gentle with subtle tuba accents and slowly evolves into a few things before turning into a chopped up drum solo. There are a lot of good tracks on supermodified.

Amon Tobin / Keep your distance - Pretty much this entire album (foley room) comes to life whenever I pop it on.

Aphex Twin / Acrid Avid Jam Shred - One of the first songs that really turned me onto Aphex and the whole “idm.”

Aphex Twin / remix by AFX - …

Venetian Snares {Rossz Csillag Alatt Született} - I just appreciate the whole album’s drum sequencing and orchestral arrangements.

Autechre {Tri Repetae++} {Draft 7.30} - Both full of flavors and atmospheres that can make you go on some deep space adventure through some jungle in Kuwait.

Lamb / Ear Parcel - At first it sounds like the intro to some old children’s movie, the initial rhythm part comes in with a jazzy melody. From there it jams on until it gets overwhelming, stops, changes some more. The overall atmosphere of the song always gets me.

I also enjoy some arovane, biosphere, boxcutter, u-ziq, etc.

You still posted it… :blink:

Good choice. One of the best songs ever composed (among three thousand others)

And now, I’m off to to watch the movie, thank you very much :wink:

This middle part of Shpongle’s album Nothing Lasts, containing the tracks:
Shpongle - Nothing Lasts
Shpongle - SchnitzI’d In The Negev
Shpongle - …but Nothing is Lost

Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

Coldplay - The Scientist

Booka Shade - Darko

Chopin - Nocturne No.2 in E flat - Op.9 No.2

Nobuo Uematsu - The Promised Land

Shiro Sagisu - Never Meant to Belong

Javier Navarette - Long, Long Time Ago (Hace Much, Much Tiempo)

apart from the masses of electronic music i frequently penetrate my hearing with, those four gems from the “popular” realms of music currently got me hooked:

fleetwood mac - dreams (no footage for the studio version)
the corrs - radio (unplugged)
the corrs - runaway (unplugged)
tori amos - beauty of speed (studio live version)

mogwai - sine wave
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-hMGgE1_OI )

Lykathea Aflame - On the way home and Flowering entities

Cecil Taylor - Anything

Saul Williams - Children of the night

Ephat Mujuru - Katura

The Residents - Krafty Cheese
If I had to choose just one song by them that’s my favorite, I guess this is it, even though everything they did around 72-82 is mindblowing.

AMM - Generative Theme III
Everything they’ve done is amazing but this is just haunting.

Krzysztof Penderecki - uhh, The dream of Jacob?
Again, difficult to choose.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - FC the Freedom Club or Babydoctor

Even if I don’t understand french that well, these are some of the most perfect songs ever.
