Marconi Union will probably forever be known as the guys that produced the album that was found to create a 65% reduction in anxiety, and a 35% reduction in physiological resting rates, aka the most relaxing album ever.
Given that reputation, I was surprised to find that I was not just enjoying, but really getting into their latest release, Signals.
The style is closer to modern jazz than ambient. Driven by rhythm (and not the subs that you would normally expect) it almost feels like the kind of release you would expect on Gondwana. Despite its moody energy, the album is also great for relaxation.
Bonus album: here is Weightless, the album I described up top. I challenge you to put this on and not fall asleep.
