This week, we'll look at ruins and relics. Places long abandoned for more promising prospects. Whether ancient or post-modern they recall a measure of greatness that evokes more sadness than nostalgia. Leading our tour on this episode of Idyllic Music are Steric Hindrance, NeiLicis, Clear Plastic, Rude Corps, Sardinia Bass Legalize and Electric Salmon.

What is the new "alternative" music? A strong case can be made that it is headphone electronica created by bedroom musicians.

This is the true sound alternative. |

Downtempo is laid-back, mellow, slow-tempo electronic music that is sometimes called 'chillout' to encompass a wider variety of styles. Downtempo draws heavily on electronica, dub, hip hop, jazz, ambient, and is often fused with genres like lounge, trip hop, and folktronica. On Idyllic Music, the songs are subtle and less intense but more rhythmic and melodic than pop music. It's music for the mind as well as the hips. |
