Yes I always like the attention they put into their music, it's very well made lots of attention put to details !
You must know Simon aka Hallucinogen/Shpongle too ?
I liked his old school music as well, and old school mushroom.
The new computerized stuff I will enjoy but with company and dance, it's very interesting as you say to see how people use them as a soundscape, it can create such rich environements.
I've been listening to this kind of music lately tho :

Thats what we call a jugalbandi, or meeting of the masters.
I find intriguing that some alien looking people in the background seem only to be there because they got the VIP pass or something... thats why I like those musicians so much, not only the transcend in a very melatonin way (not everyone can hear the wholeness of that music, you need to be in that particular state of mind without stress) but they have made lots of sacrifice to play their music on TV like this.
I wonder who are those people in the background... they really look strange. Sometimes I wonder if the main performers are half-elven, because thats how I figure they would play music, the elves ; so organic and complex.
Great music by humans for humans with human means, I hope you can appreciate it as much as I appreciate you sharing your insights with me.
