Note: Originally an over the top minimalism list, apart of glitch hop search but I altered it and add some accoustic. It works nicely, I think this is my loveliest list of the year. Tho’ this list can only work in very cold winter day while feeling alert. Definitely first thing in the morning/crisp daytime/high fidelity headphone list. Nevermind Canada, think frozen arctic tundra instead. But you will be listening with someone you like and in a warm cabin with a nice view. Plus your toes are all warm instead of frozebitten. Uhmmm…. ok. that could be a scene from comedy movie. at anyrate, this is an ultra cutting edge list. Minimalist glitch, white drone, well executed classical pieces, modern, pop electronic. Definitely winter 2009. cheers.

Definitely a powerful selection of tunes you’ve made there. I don’t know about frigid days, it’s nighttime here and not really that cold but I’m feeling deeply moved, especially by “Tristana”. Thanks.
what a patetic picture… lol
I’ll listen right away

great song choices, every one is beautiful individually, together - it becomes a surprisingly transporting experience
“Final Call” or “30,000 feet” by Ghostigital & Finnbogi Pétursson & Skúli Sverrisson on their CD “Aero” might also work on this list - they are icelandic, it adds to the wintry theme

heh.I couldn’t find better minimalist picture. A outdoor snow picture seems too harsh. I was freezing. So, the texture I guess. Plus she looks so strange. I post picture with chicken in it just now. haa haa. (I don’t even know what’s that about. but I like the color.)

Hey thanks. I’ll try to listen to it and maybe makes another electronica list or so.
Hola, amigo. Te agradezco por tal maravillosa selección. Ruth y Tristana, simplemente deliciosas, y muy bien montada la lista. Acaso quitaría o cambiaría Module 7, simplemente no funcionó para mí. Mucha suerte y felices fiestas. Saludos desde México.
Hey, dude. Thanks for such a marvelous selection. Ruth and Tristana, simply delicious, and very well armed list. I just maybe remove or change Module 7; it just didn’t work for me. Good luck, and happy holydays from Méx

yeah, global warming is a fake, we’re not melting here, but we live at the mosquito coast
have a great new year for the moka staff

It should work ok. I check the balance. if you are using headphone with accent on mid range, then it’s horrible. It sounds like loud white noises. Otherwise, track 3 and 4 should complement each other in texture. Neither one overpower the other. (But it’s a little hard if you are not into glitch. heh.)
