Sun City Girls - Torch Of The Mystics (1993)
Sufi Spaghetti Western music. The album doesn't hit its stride till "Space Prophet Dogon" (Hail Eris!), a track any void-loving psychonaut worth his salt wouldn't mind venturing out to with a grab bag of sage and select rocket-boosters.
Enjoy

Also Nico was meant to do the vocals for "The Widow's Song"
If you want to immediately fall in love with this album
skip to track 10 and let it lead into "Ejection"

Bibio - Vignetting the Compost (2009)
Bibio, current Warp Records up-and-comer, released this album on Mush Records back in 2009. Bibio released two albums that year, this and his first release for Warp, Ambivalence Avenue. The latter showcased a sampling of his experiments with the beat/electronic scene, a style that makes up the bulk of his forthcoming release in March. Vignetting The Compost is Bibio's last, so far, non-electronic album. It is wonderfully produced, filled with beautiful guitar loops, haunting vocals, and crackling field recordings. One of the most unique modern musicians I've come across.

V./A. - Freedom, Rhythm, and Sound
Another great compilation by Soul Jazz Records. Definitely support this label (yeah, yeah I know). Their vinyl compilations come packed with well-written info about the artists and musical histories involved. Their Krautrock compilation, Deutsche Elektronishe Musik, is equally amazing.

Iasos - Interdimensional Music (1975)
For your next hang gliding adventure over the Upside Down Waterfalls. Spaced-out instrumental/ambient downtempo 70's music done right. Buckminster Fuller and Alan Watts giving it the geodesic-self-moving-pattern nod on the sticker quote.

Searching
On the lookout for this. Lost my digital copy a few years ago. Album art never lies.
Album Liner Notes:
"A strange thing happened recently when my piano playing son Randy and i were on our way through a couple of scotch and sodas. A late afternoon delivery and there it stood with all the tapes of the pre-recorded music for my children's songs TV series. "By the Stark Reality it says its here". "Who's the Stark Reality" asked Randy.
"Some group your brother Hoagy has been touting," I said wearily.
But how to play them? Oh yes, that big tape recorder a college chum had given me for christmas. A measly gift, and i had almost forgotten about it. Luckily, Randy knew how to work it, and out of it rolled some of the damnedest music either of us had ever heard. This is children's music!? OK., sera, sera - and Randy and I poured one quickie after another as we sat there losing our middle class minds. "Weird, man."
I say, "Stark mad" Monty's voice?...somewhere between the filings on the edge of a pie pan, and the singing of a guru during one of his most exalted moments. I tell you, that Monty is something else."

Miguel Atwood-Ferguson - Timeless: A Suite For Ma Dukes (2010)
Backstory: Miguel Atwood-Ferguson takes some of the late-great hip-hop producer J Dilla's greatest songs and arranges them for a 60-piece orchestra. Add a live audience and performances by Talib Kweli, Dwele, and Posdnous and you get a reinterpretation that adds to the legend of Dilla. 2/3 of the album is strictly orchestral work with the occasional accompanying drums. Surprisingly, the live appearances don't ruin the flow of the album but actually give the concert a dynamic live fluidity. The Stakes is High track that nears the albums end never fails to give me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Highly recommended

Arthur Verocai - Self-titled (1972)
One of my all-time favorite Brazilian albums, Verocai masterfully blends Bossa Nova, psychedelic rock, keys, and a horn section. The album starts off with Caboclo, a hypnotic song featuring a flickering synth and haunting chorus. The trumpet and drums on Na Boca Do Sol will be familiar to any fans of the Special Herbs Vol.'s.

Harmonia is a supergroup featuring musicians from Cluster, Dieter Mobius, and Neu! Plenty of amazing sounds here with vintage drum machines and analog synths. If you haven't forayed into Krautrock yet this is as good a place as any to start.

V./A. - Message From The Tribe (2004)
Rare Detroit Jazz/Funk from 1972-1976 compiled by the re-issue maestros over at Soul Jazz Records. Marcus Belgrave's track "Space Oddysey" features a bassline resembling Freddie Hubbard's Red Clay paired with intergalactic horns. Phil Ranelin's Vibes from the Tribe is easily the funkiest cool-out song on here (see if you can figure out which song Tribe Called Quest used this one on). One of the best re-issue compilations I've come across.

Carlos Nino - High With A Little Help From (2009)
High With A Little Help From is a beautiful sonic progression of interludes, samples, and the occasional mix of rhythmic percussion. It's one that takes a few listens to fully appreciate because the usual signs that mark a songs end aren't there. The ambient form of the album mixes the styles of Brian Eno and the more downtempo work of Daedelus.
Genre: Ambient/Electronic/Folk
