A couple of weeks ago, I posted a request for music recommendations. My interests were specifically light pop/electronica, which is what I usually listen to when I write.

Folks provided some good leads. During the first round, I bought a single Tangerine Dream track (Cinnamon Road), and a Dead Can Dance album (Serpent's Egg). Rooting around in related links led me to Balligomingo (Beneath the Surface).

Yesterday I dove into iTunes again. The Chillout compilations were recommended, and I nabbed them both. Also found the latest Saint Etienne, Tales from Turnpike House (hmmm...they don't appear to be with Sub Pop anymore. wonder what that means). Finally, the inevitable linkage following led me to The Thievery Corporation, which seems to put out an interesting combo of jazzy/world-y electronica.

I think I've purchased enough music to last me for a while. Thanks to everyone for their recommendations--I'll be checking into them all eventually.
