DNTEL - After Parties 1 & 2 (2010)

Two EPs by Jimmy Tamborello under his "DNTEL" alias. These EPs feature no guests and are completely instrumental, unlike the past two albums under the DNTEL name. Atmospheric and a bit dark in places. The most minimal of his work.

Piana - Ephemeral (2005)

Akira Yamaoka - Silent Hill 3 Original Soundtracks (2003)

Another amazing soundtrack from an amazing game. While not quite as good as the Silent Hill 2 OST previously posted, it is still more than deserving of a listen. Play the game too, while you're at it.

Brian Eno - Discreet Music (1975)

"I was trying to make a piece that could be listened to and yet could be ignored... perhaps in the spirit of Satie who wanted to make music that could 'mingle with the sound of the knives and forks at dinner.'" - Brian Eno.

The first track of this album is ambient. The latter three are variations of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major.

Boris - Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 1-4 (2009)

In 2009 Experimental trio Boris released three limited edition 7" singles (and a special fourth for those who pre-ordered) of new material. This is a great batch of songs and they can be hard to come by since they were only released on vinyl. New versions of most of these songs will be released later this year on Boris' new album. Enjoy.
