Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor (1979)

For fans of Kraftwerk; except replace their serious, post-apocolyptic angular modalities with YMO's bubbly, cosmopolitan Tokyo cityscape video game world. 

It's neon and anime and fun.

Jan Jelinek - Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records (2001)

A landmark record in the genre of Glitch; Jelinek's "digging in the crates" ethos has led to this gem of an album- a minimal, abstract beautiful piece of music that plays well late at night after returning from a hectic night at the clubs. 

There's a soothing neutrality to the ambience here that wraps you in its soft caress and delivers you safe and warm 51 minutes and change later.

Lindstrøm - Where You Go I Go Too (2008)

If disco had a future it would sound like this. 

Best listened to on headphones far away from the world.
