Mr. Scruff - Keep It Unreal (1999)

An early Mr. Scruff album released soon after he signed to the mighty Ninja Tune. It has a late-nineties quality to it which I enjoy, but there are some tracks worthy of skipping. What remains is a few gems that must be shared.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Past, Present & Future (2007)

A very intimate and acoustic album with minimal electronic embellishments. This collection contains instrumental versions of much of the Ma Fleur album (released the same year) and some rarities towards the end, including a song titled Lullaby. That should be your last song of the night.

Bonobo - Dial 'M' for Monkey (2003)

A blissful mix of floating melodies and grounded drums provide the perfect late night listening experience.

The Cinematic Orchestra - Every Day (2002)

With a virtuosic blend of live instrumentation and subtle electronics, these songs are able to distort your perception of time and reality. Movements that span ten minutes feel like introspective journeys that allow you to take your own path with the assurance of pleasurable resolve.
