Hmmm.... yes.
A few weeks ago I had my whole collection on shuffle while doing some work (writing stuff) when Postal Service came on. I personally think they're just alright and don't listen to them that often, but I played through their one-and-only CD and it synced up with my work in such a way that I was really in the zone. Since then, whenever I do creative work I pop on that CD and groove and do some great work.

After so many album repeats, though, it's wearing on me but I'm craving something with a similar sound/tempo so I can continue my zen-like work trance. Any suggestions? It's just ambient enough, and just the right speed to be my work soul mate (at least for the moment).

Thanks.

Edit: I did check allmusic, but wasn't feeling their suggestions. Maybe Postal Service is a zen fluke.

The easiest thing to tell you is Dntel, which is the main project of one-half of the Postal Service (Jimmy Tamborello, I think? Probably spelled his name wrong). Ben Gibbard sticks to non-electronic stuff normally, so you probably won't want to follow him. I actually think there's a new album on the way, and at least two or three older ones you could get into. It's pretty much the same kind of thing- he makes the music and beats and gets a guest artist to do the vocals for each track.

Oh man thank you so much, this is great.

I suggested this in the last thread, but "Neon Golden" by Notwist is very similar to The Postal Service/Dntel.

AHHH so good, thanks.
