    I HIGHLY reccommend anything produced by Riz (ie, Neotropic, and Small
    Fish With Spine...)

    This stuff is not what i would call 'ambient' but it is some of the most
    amazing music ever put together - it is Singular

    15 levels is quite a piece of work; semi-trip-hop rhythms with quite a bit
    of weirdness thrown in, and bits and pieces of broken beats and jazz.

    Brubaker's Strawberry Alarm Clock I like even better - its pretty over the
    top but is a bit harsher that 15 levels (which feels sort of nicer on the
    brain) - it also has a weird 'retro' feel to it that I am at aloss to
    explain. I dunno how she does it.

    And Small Fish With Spine is my absolute all time favorite piece of music
    ever. I am not even going to try to describe it - you'll have to listen
    for yourself and make your own judgements :)

    I would definitely snap this up, except that I've already got it on vinyl
    *grin*
