Ghostland Observatory - Sad, Sad City

Artist: Ghostland Observatory Track: Sad, Sad City Album: Paparazzi Lightning Year: 2006
This is one of those songs where the beat just draws you in from the very beginning. That steady, funky beat grooves through the whole song, joined by buzzy electronics and hyped vocals. It's a pretty short song, but it uses those 3 minutes well to get me energized. And that's all I got, folks. I just like the song.

Milosh - You Make Me Feel

Artist: Milosh Track: You Make Me Feel Album: You Make Me Feel Year: 2004
I was recently introduced to this song (and the whole album actually) and I've to associate it with some wonderful times. I'm very associative with music. It can make me happy, sad, or even cry because it reminds me a certain time, place or person. This one makes me warm and fuzzy and calm. 
The track is a soft, glitchy song with dreamy, haunting vocals. I like the clicky beat throughout the song and the lyrics are simple and sweet. I'm listening to it as I type this and my mind is slowing and making it hard to come up with full, coherent sentences. Probably should pause it to write this post. Naaaah.
I pretty much love the entire album as well, but the title track is still my favorite.

Swedish House Mafia - Greyhound

Artist: Swedish House Mafia Track: Greyhound Album: Until Now Year: 2012
Swedish House Mafia is a killer trio of DJs Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, and Axwell. They have a talent for weaving irresistible dance tracks that you can't help but get pumped to. And this one didn't even need words!
The slow, climbing intro builds you up to a spine-tingling drop and then you find yourself bobbing your head to the beat and you can't stop. Then around 2:42 the track switches into a hyped, trance-like sound and the fun continues. The track is one big rollercoaster of electro beats and trance-y synths.
Also, make sure to watch the music video for this one. It's pretty cool, I must say. Though it looks like Lady GaGa's long lost family joined together for a beats-driven, robotic greyhound race. However, the music video does not feature the entire track.

Crystal Castles - Celestica

Artist: Crystal Castles Track: Celestica Album: Crystal Castles (2010) Year: 2010
How about some dreamy, electronic pop? This track is off of Crystla Castles second self titled album. They actually have three self titled albums and where they lack in album title creativity, they make for it in their music.  "Celestica" is slightly shoegaze-ish track with heavy distortion, dreamy vocals, and a whole bunch of random sounds here and there. Yet somehow it all snugly fits together to create an almost entrancing track. I know I've used the word "dreamy" a lot in this post, but honestly, it's the only word that floats across my mind as I listen to this song. Click for lyrics, music video & link!

Cherokee - Take Care Of You

Artist: Cherokee

Track: Take Care Of You

Album: Take Care Of You - Single

Year: 2011

This track just makes me melt into a chill, electronic pile of bliss. I love the beat and beautiful guitar notes that waver in and out. No matter where I am, I can sit back and relax to this. Cherokee is a French electronic duo and I will definitely be looking into more of their music after hearing this.

Just listen.

Telepopmusik - Breathe

Artist: Telepopmusik
Track: Breathe
Album: Genetic World
Year: 2002
I love this song so much it's irrational. It's quirky and groovy and dreamy and chill and all things happy. For some reason it reminds me of some sort of swanky salon. The kind where they massage your scalp when they wash your hair and you slip into a small dreamy coma as this song's chill house beat washes over your eardrums...or maybe I'm just getting carried away.
But you should listen to it. Definitely.

Baths - Aminals

Artist: Baths
Track: Aminals
Album: Cerulean
Year: 2010

Since this is my first post, I thought it fitting to feature the song from which I got my blog title. It's a wonderful track called "Aminals" by Baths. This song never fails to put me in a good mood. With the glitchy electro beats, child-nonsense lyrics, and playful tones, "Aminals" is a nice, playful break from the rest of my music.
