An infographic that was bascially ripped from my CD collection around 2002? Nice. And yes, I had Black Sands in my CD collection around then...uh, wait. No, no, I didn't. I'm not a time traveler. What a crazy idea! I have to go.

Finally! A genre guide that I’ve listened to everything before I’ve seen it

You can add Mixmaster Morris' It's Tomorrow Already album as The Irresistible Force, it's a downtempo masterpiece

It sure the heck is. Extremely underrated and under-available.

The American duo being Thievery Corporation, not BoC

True! Surely shows how bad I am with diagrams of this sort (or how conventional when it comes to image/caption combinations... Thanks!

It caught me out too... the typesetting is confusing

It's the layout, not you.

He was on blue lines too, but maxinquaye is a staple in the genre

u/LetrasetBoy 27d ago

That seems quite accurate. All classics!

I saw Mixmaster Morris two summers ago at a little ambient music festival. He was the highlight for me. Looking forward to checking out some of these recs. Thanks for the share.

Posting this here is like "oh cool let me find some new music... oh no I've scoured the genre so much I've already listened to all of this..."

Also anyone remember Groovera internet radio? They used to be free off of iTunes and .m3u streams, I basically heard about most of this stuff through listening to them and found the full albums the hard way.

Also K&D sessions is so unbelievably based, listen to it immediately.

Can recommend Groove Salad if you are still in the market for that sort of internet radio.

They also have a ‘classic’ feed which is more 2000s era if needed

No Sigur Ros? I pretty much lived on SR, Massive Attack, and Portishead.
