    Oh dear, I like so much that it's hard to pick favourites. But if I had to recommend a few that are dear to me, I would say:

    • Bonobo - Black Sands (music mostly instrumental, without lyrics and manages to convey such emotion regardless) second to
    • Bonobo - Days to Come (similar vein to black sands)
    • The Glitch Mob - Drink the Sea (a classic in electronic, unique sounds and production, still good today)
    • Aldous Harding - Aldous Harding (new zealand style gothic folk, aldous has a neat and unique way of singing)
    • Clever Girl - No Drum and Bass in the Jazz Room (oozes such good and lively energy, juxtaposed by being sadly the only album they ever made)
    • Kikagaku Moyo - Masana Temples (japanese psychedelic goodness)
    • Kero Kero Bonito - Time 'n' Place (for the mood when you're in a questionable time n place)
    • Pretty Lights - Spilling Over Every Side (cool soundscapes and electronic sampling collage-ery)
    • Esbe - Bloomsday (pleasant! chill)
    • Odesza - A Moment Apart (odesza are wonderful with production, soundscapes)
    • Siamés - Bounce into the Music
    • Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandora's Pinata (particularly for the song Justice for Saint Mary, which takes you on an 8 minute journey from this is chill, this is nice to oh now this is metal, ok to wtf is happening, I definitely shouldn't play this in a church, it's great)

    And, if I may, a single song to add on the end which is very nice:

    • Shawn James - Curse of the Fold

    Because he's got a fantastic voice.

      I saw Bonobo live and god damn him and his band were amazing. Haven't heard of the other stuff on that list but I'll check it out.

      I got to see Kikagaku Moyo a couple years ago at a small venue and it was one of the best shows I've been to, especially since I went in practically blind. Loved them ever since.
