There are an abundance of material out right now fitting that description.
To be honest I'm not terribly into that right now... maybe Death in
Vegas/Crystal Method/Low-Fidelity Allstars? I dunno, what gets played on
commercial radio stations now? I'm out of touch inside my own bubble.
> 2) Need music to MOTM by (ie as I design/debug). Here are my currents faves:
Ok, some people you may not have heard of: (or maybe have and hate)
Biosphere (new age-y ambient)
S.E.T.I. (very ambient)
Labradford (post-rock ambient)
Rachel's (sort of an amalgamation of people doing classical-esque stuff)
Tortoise (most post-rock than anything else, sort of jazzy)
Squarepusher (remember Jaco? stay away from his eariler d&b style if
that's not your thing. His latest are more jazz-influenced)
Monolake (bleep, bloop)
Ui (a bit too "noodly" for me most of the time though)
I guarantee none of this is Starbucks cheesy crapola, and has decreased
stress levels significantly in lab rats. Go to a record store who will let
you listen to the material on a turntable/CD player before you buy, so
you're not dissapointed.
Right now I'm also big into the musik aus strom, chocolate industries, and
schematic labels, but they don't really fit into your descriptions too
well.
