Yay! I've been telling people for years we lived through a really unique period in music history with game soundtracks. We're kind of in the twilight of that now, but it brought us a lot of really oddball and interesting experimental music and new genre's (ish) along the way.

I know I like this sort of music without really ever having been into it so appreciate these kinds of posts. I think there was another post about ambient stuff and I ended up buying some music by Port-Royal which is pretty cool.

"Noah Benjamin Lennox[2] (born July 17,[1] 1978 in Baltimore, Maryland) also known as Panda Bear, is an experimental musician and a founding member of Animal Collective."

Animal Collective were wildy successful in 2009 - Merriweather Post Pavilion was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of 2009. Even, Spin selected it as the best album of 2009. Panda Bear's last album "Person Pitch" was named by Pitchfork Media to be the top album of 2007[17] and placed it 9th on the Top 200 Albums of The Decade.

They innovated experimental music with using samplers to create strange rhythmic pop songs. I calmly resent that question because all of you should be at least trying to listen to new and innovative music if you're into music. If you're into music you should try to not be closed-minded... at all. I know it's difficult but if there is a genre or field of music someone has done that style well enough for me to enjoy. For me to resolve this question with - didn't you know Animal Collective's album was the best album of the entire year?! PSHHH... is ridiculous. Bottom-line - listen to music and don't worry about whether you should care or not, just listen and have a good time.

Who's Panda Bear?
... and why should we care/take interest?
Not meant as a Troll, I've just never heard of Panda Bear - ever, in any-way, or at any-time as an artist or otherwise.
I could be out of touch, but maybe a better description is required here.

I don't mind experimental music but this women is demonstraiting a complete lack of control over what she is doing / lack of intention. I really enjoy contiguous sounds in music , its stuff like this in my opinion that devalues the genre.

Bravo! Awesome sift!
Eno is a musical genius. I first found an interest in his his production work with Bowie , Talking Heads and U2 on their best album "The Unforgettable Fire". The tones and soundscapes on that album really moved me in ways I can not fully describe in words. I came across "ambient music"(low-volume music designed to modify one's perception of a surrounding environment.) back in the day but it did not hit me until I was searching for music for bipolar therapy and" Music for Airports" just floored me. It is a piece of art. Ambient/Experimental music is my #2 favorite style of music, Rock is still king but slowly losing it's throne.

Wow I said a lot for once. I will stop.
