To finish what I started...

Lewian: Of your choices I especially like the Hidden Orchestra track, which - indeed - you have suggested before, and the Startling Insects. Probably the first one a bit more, but it is rather close; the latter is more minimalist in a way, what I like very much too. The Ostzonensuppenwürfels track is nice too, but a bit too typical indie-rock sounding (to me).

I prophesy disaster: I very much like that Windchase track, and indeed that grooving bass in the latter third of it. I've also always liked Peter Hammil, but I have to be in the mood for it (although sometimes it is enough to just put it up and it will bring you in the mood - it is generally brilliant music!). I prefer Sitting Targets of all these, at the moment.

Mila: I like both of Masego/Don Toliver and Bab L'Bluz, with a slight preference for the latter; to my ears it has a touch more originality in the music. But the added Nordmann track, a kind of electro-rock-jazz, is probably what I like the best of your suggestions.

Cristi: I know and like (very much) the Camel and Radiohead tracks. Caesar Frazier and Alternosfera are great listens too, but my preferred track of your suggestions is the post-rocky Fragments of a Prayer by Collapse Under the Empire. Great one!

Nick: Nice story, and a wonderful track. I wouldn't be able to fall asleep to that, so I can imagine it woke you up every time.

Logan: another track by Ciśnienie, and another one that is really great. I definitely have to explore this band! A fantastic slow groove underneath some interesting musical soundscaping.

Tigerfeet: Ah, ah, an alltime classic. Great to hear this original version by Johnny Nash!

Mathman: (the first video doesn't work for me, but I found this one) Oh yes, classic Speedwagon-y (again!) AOR. Although not very original, it is indeed very enjoyable. There is not much development in Drive, so I prefer Linus and Lucy of these two. But I may still prefer The Angels.

Meltdowner: Wonderful, this Traffic track(s), great musicality and just a sheer pleasure to listen to!

JD: Almost missed And You by Edwin. Didn't know this one before. A very percussive and speedy rock 'n roll piece. Very enjoyable. Plus a wonderful track by The Clarks, which I actually prefer. You're slowing down!

Actually, I will nominate dEUS - Slow.

Everybody knows it of course, but another obvious one, for me, is King Crimson's Dangerous Curves... (be careful, JD! )

Edit: Ah, here you are!
