Rothko - blends the line between minimal ambient electronica and post rock. Akin to Boards of Canada, Pan American, Scenic. Songs swirl around a melodic fragment and are slow to develop. Echoed, reverby guitar and bass, trumpet, flute, lost male voice, and sheets of drifting sonic effects. It's hard to isolate "best" tracks on an album that flows as well as this one ... but I'll try: 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11, 15 -nari
