This is hilarious, because this is the exact album I'm listening to right now (I've probably listened to it over 100 times...). Youtube's algorithm, for all the evils it does radicalizing people, has led me down a deep music rabbit hole and completely transformed my taste in music. I suspect that there are a lot of other listeners out there like me that have had the same experience.

Wow, thought it was just me who found that Youtube recommendation cluster. It does seem to pivot around Hiroshi Yoshimura. “Green” was the portal into that world for me as well, but there’s plenty of other nice ambient discs of his in there (Air in Resort, Wet Land, Surround).

On the periphery of that group, if you want something genius, check out Motohiko Hamase (especially “Notes of Forestry”). Squarepusher-like electric bass skill over minimalist classical loops. Never heard anything like it.

Came here to post exactly this.

Music For Nine Post Cards is also a real gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyY7NU4cbtY.

Much respect to the uploaders giving these albums a digital rebirth.
