Bob's Pick #10.

Bonobo - Black Sands

Part Cinematic Orchestra and part DJ Shadow, this album by DJ and producer Simon Green builds each track up with skittering beats, basslines and lovely repetitive riffs (occasionally featuring vocals as well). Though there are samples, Green plays all instruments himself and manages to make the whole album feel, dare I say, organic. Indeed Green actually tours with a band to play these tracks live and I expect the horn players (mostly sax) would have great amounts of room to stretch out with jazzy solos. Perfect "chill" music that will also keep you completely engaged
