I remember getting weirded out by Chocky. But people younger than me cite this.

DJ Koze's Music Can Hear Us was a fun time, but sounds like two releases jumbled together. The "instrumental"/spacier vocals stuff is very ethno-grabbag fun (sorry Damon Albarn) and would have made a killer EP. The remaining songs are fun enough with one exception (sorry Damon Albarn).

2. Grouper - Ruins (2014 - PF Ranking 62)
I've only heard Grouper on a 2011 comp raising money after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, a plaintive guitar track recorded in the city's cathedral. It seems the cottage where Liz Kelly recorded Ruins similarly adds warmth to her vocals and piano.

1. Julianna Barwick - The Magic Place (2011 - PF Ranking 168)
Barwick gets one of the better Pitchfork write-ups which describes how her layers of wordless vocals form whispy patterns. The other instruments adds solidity in the fog. No tracks are the same - there is a lot going on in the mists.

Listening to Bernie Worrell's early 90s funky organathon Pieces of Woo: The Other Side, featuring the likes of Amina Claudine Myers, Bill Laswell and Buckethead. This is a load of life-affirming fun. Very light and dexterous, but never fluff.

The new collab album by Ale Hop and Titi Bakora is a loada fun. African guitar with added electronic tweaking and beats.

Never watched Lynch. His work was simply never my thing. But a lot of my friends really love his work. And without him, we would not have this wonderful oddity.
