An Imaginary Country
Blissed-Out Ambient Music
Montreal-based producer Tim Hecker combines found sounds and organic electronica to create stunning, intricately textured music. His compositions pulse and flow, echoing scenes in nature; Pitchfork points out that "this naturalism, combined with Hecker's sense of fantasy and mirage, is part of what makes the album such a satisfying listen." If you've worn out your Eno records, this is a wonderful new addition to your ambient collection.

Timeless
The Godfather Of Go-Go
Chuck Brown got his start in the 1960s as a jazz/blues guitarist, but by the early '70s he was pioneering the high-energy dance-funk known as go-go. Over the years, he's reached legendary status in his hometown of Washington, D.C. for his non-stop live sets and call-and-response audience participation. On Timeless, Brown gets back to the roots of go-go, taking on jazz and blues standards like "Autumn Leaves," "Blue Skies," and "Caravan."
