>Chrisopher Willits - Folding, and the Tea
Homemade chicken soup and black tea, while light rain taps the window pane. Does go on a bit longer than you'd like, and the soup gets kinda cold and the comfy blanket you have is making you sweat, but still good.

>Valgeir Sigurosson - DISSONANCE
Dark Modern Classical, without being too hokey. Very full sounding, the strings slide by like butter, so much that I didn't even realize the first track was dissonant until halfway in.

>Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Ka 'Ano'i
Hawaiian covers of songs outside of Hawaii, by bruddah IZ. He sounds a little strange on the happier tunes, but I'm instantly taken back when I hear songs like Kainoa. No Ukulele is better played than one in the hands of a Hawaiian.

>Monte Burrows - Ikki Ni
Burrows manipulates saccharine string sections by reflecting them through madhouse mirrors in the first track, while the second track is more of a field recording with strings played backwards, I believe? It was just ok.

>Casiotone For the Painfully Alone - Etiquette
These lyrics drip with hurt, sometimes the silly teenage kind, sometimes a very tangible kind. They're covered with quaint and toy-like electronics, in a bittersweet package.

>Oren Ambarchi - The Pendulum's Embrace
Obviously focused on a meditative experience, with ear-filling tones allowed to ring.

>$unship - Is This Real
You can smell the origins of footwork in 2-step like this. The mix is very smooth, but once again drudged down by the silly samples. If you like Moodymann, maybe try give this a spin.

>CFCF - The Colours of Life
A lot like Tycho or Torn Hawk, but with a gooey synth and a Kenny G sax. Not really engrossing or amazing, just soft background music that flows nicely.
