Thanks! You have a really interesting taste in music I think. I just skimmed through every album.

I saved the album from: Tim Hecker, Sunn 0))), Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin and Brian Eno

With Mozart and Bill Evans I am familiar.

The Godspeed You! album I found not as straigt forward and distinct as I like my music. But don't take this as proper critique. Even though I hear lots of music, I have no 'intellectual' base to say anything substential about music else than wether it clicks with me or not. For some music I think I get the (an) 'idea' and other music just feels all over the place and I can't get hold of the (an) general idea.

Sleep: Jerusalem I didn't found on spotify. Seems like a very generic name... Are you sure this is the full name of artist and album?

If you have more to share, I'm happy to listen to just a bit more. Don't you go over board, I have other things to do as well ;)

Yep, the band is definitely called Sleep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_(band)

As other have pointed out, there's also a near-identical release called Dopesmoker, but it's all one long track so a bit less convenient.

They also have a 2018 release called The Sciences which is pretty damn good too.

Some other albums:

  - Antônio Carlos Jobim - Wave (bossa nova is one of the most underrated genres I reckon)
  - Jon Hopkins - Singularity (ambient electronic)
  - Electric Wizard - Dopethrone (doom metal. similar to Sleep)
  - Sigur Rós - Ágætis_byrjun (there are vocals but they're Icelandic)
  - Chopin - The Complete Nocturnes (I've got a double-album of Roger Woodward playing them)
  - J Dilla - Donuts (instrumental hip hop)
I've tried to cover as many genres as possible to pique people's interest in branching out (you'd be surprised by what you enjoy when you give it a chance). Happy to give even more recommendations - I'm a music nut haha.

The better GY!BE album for working/studying is Luciferian Towers.

> Sleep: Jerusalem

Look for "Sleep - Dopesmoker". It’s the re-release of the same thing.
