Argh! I forget Bohren & Der Club Of Gore! Playlists all over YouTube - start here?

Think: dark jazz, film noir soundtracks, somnolence, dark ambient with traditional instruments, Lycia without vocals or synths, etc etc.

I love the way that you recommend music to me by comparing it to other bands I'VE NEVER EVER HEARD OF. I don't know any German bands I'm afraid, I spent the 90s mainly with Britpop indie bands and the more chart-friendly electronica.

Anyway, in case you forgot, the track you really liked yesterday was a remix of 'WIP Electric' by The Funktuary.

Yes! I was going to ask you that as well, you psychic person! OK, must purchase on iTunes then.

Hey, more bands you've never heard of = more adventurous fun, yes? Give it a go, they are very soothing. (Lycia are/were American, not German, btw. Mid-90s thing, punks & goths making ambient music. Have you heard of Projekt records?)
