Recently at work I’ve been listening to a real hodgepodge of music, and I found that it was interfering with my productivity to be bouncing from pop to rock to dance and then classical.
I find that when I’m programming some seamlessly mixed dance tracks are the best way to be productive. But you can’t listen to trance all the time.
So at work this week I made a playlist called ‘Mellow’.
Leading off this playlist is a real find. The track is called The Matter (of our discussion) and the name of the group is Boom Bip. Album is “Blue Eyed in a Red Room”.
I’m hooked on this track, it’s slow sad haunting lyrics; painted against shimmering tinkling chords.
Download here.

Freezepop, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, The postal service, Sigur Ros, Andrew Bird, The Features, Buffalo Daughter, Julien Civange, akiko (jazz), Replicant, Nick Drake, Tony Garlif, Lambchop, Cibo Matto, Koop, Philip Glass, The Magnetic Fields.
