^ This. 

Been listening to stuff like this all week on the train and at work.  For some reason, it's right up there with classical and ambient as allowing me to concentrate on my work and block out my coworkers.

 

This:

Lollers, that looked like Engrish at first, "Eric Clapton ...At Their Best".

Shpongle – Tales of the Inexpressible

(Nothing Lasts is my favorite Shpongle album, but I forgot how good this one is)

A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Iris -- beautiful Synthetische Musik

The Radio Dept. -- Running Out Of Love

A heavy album of deceptively light music.

Brian Eno -- Reflection

 

Mostly to mess with@swt61

Julia Fischer – Russian Violin Concertos

Outstanding

 

Mastodon -- Once More 'Round The Sun

 

First Aid Kit - Stay Gold

House of Prog

 

 

 

 

 

The Dean Ween Group -- The Deaner Album

Here's Johann Johannsson talking about creating some of the music for the film Arrival.

If you haven't listened to a Song Exploder podcast before, they can be a little "nuts and bolts", but still very enjoyable IMHO.

I'm pretty sure I've posted other episodes here before but, be sure and check out the episodes list. You're sure to find a fav band/songwriter/composer talking about their craft. 

One of my favorite things to listen to while munching down lunch!
