Great Albums (Dive/Tycho)

Year: 2011

I've been listening to this album regularly for the past few months. Unlike most offerings in the ambient music genre, Dive incorporates deep bass grooves, synthesized beats, and other elements that one usually associates with EDM. However, the music won't urge you to tear it up on the dance floor. Instead, you'll find yourself softly bobbing along to one of its tracks as you go about your work. Highly recommended for people who like to listen to music at work.

Personal Picks: "Daydream", "Coastal Brake", "Adrift", and "Epigram"
