MOTM

Looking to expand my CD collection in 2 areas:

1) Need some more (sigh) techno/dance/less-than-26-years-old music. I have
some Orbital, Chemical Bros, M.B.F. but those are so like "yesterday"!
Suggestions?

2) Need music to MOTM by (ie as I design/debug). Here are my currents faves:

a) R. Wakeman: 6 Wives of Henry the Eighth (uplifting & depressing, since RW
was 19yrs old when he did this!)
b) Enya- Shepard Moons
c) any and all Pat Metheny (new CD w/Jim Hall is wonderful)
d) Modern Jazz Quartet - Last Concert (defines "tight playing" forever. Not
possible to play together any better.)
e) Any Robert Rich
f) any Steve Roach

As you may tell, like softer, "ambient" sort of stuff, but not "Starbuck
Coffee" junk (Indian flutes, rainforest, whales)
