Anybody else like downtempo electronica?
Slow electronica. I like listening to it to work by. I often rotate it in with the classical music.

Do you like it? I've just got a couple of compilation CDs that I got from Brookstone, of all places. But I like it enough that I want to find others. It's rythmic without being too obtrusive and breaking my concentration. Reminds me of one of Rabrrrrrr's martinis. B-)

Do you like it? If you do, can you name some artists I could look for?

2. Thanks!
I've seen people talk about them before in the Lounge, but I wasn't paying enough attention.

I'll have to check them out. :thumbsup:

3. downtempo stuff always breaks my concentration
I cannot do anything until it is turned off. Some people find it relaxing, but it always make me wanna smash boomboxes.

Maybe I was born on opposite day or something.

4. Global Communications, Boards of Canada
Lustmord if you like dark ambient. For older stuff there's always Tangerine Dream, Klaus Shultz and of courese Eno's Discrete Music.
