Thank so much for this list! I came across you website via an internet magazine interview, spent quite a bit of time looking at your art (which I love0. Now I find your blog, and I so much appreciate this list music. I'm always looking for music that I can work to in the studio (have to have music!)and since I work lots of hours, my collection gets tired sometimes. Anyway, haven't had time to go through the entire list, but have already bought Sondre Lerche, Ambulance, and Komeda on iTunes.
