University of Chicago Symphony Orchestra – [2012] Design and Intent
Live recording of excellently performed classical music. Though not exactly hi-fi, the performance excels.

Rather experimental ambient electronica, but hear me out. Songs that work as songs, but will stick out in your collection.

Massive trip hop infused electronic compilation. 30 tracks from dance to experimental.

Boogie Belgique – [2014] Nightwalker (Vol. 2)

Knoxband – [2009] Equinox
Extremely shoe-gazy, ambient progressive or even post rock. Percussion only starts for the finale. Amazement during the intro.

Fla Vector – [2013] RED
Industrial synth-wave dubstep from Belarus. Fans of The Prodigy please step closer. And start dancing.
-
Klangwald – [2012] Tolerance & Courage EP
Calm and deliberate electronica backdrop. Not fighting for your attention, earning it just the more for it.
-
Everlasting Dream – [2011] Echoes From the Future
Cinematic downtempo electronica. Could be a sci-fi soundtrack, just lacks a movie.
