I got jonesing for some mood-altering electronica today, so here's my current playlist:

• Between Us and Them | Ulrich Schnauss | Far Away Trains Passing By
  :: Very smooth, slow and monumental; good for traveling on a deserted highway
  
• Nothing Happens in June | Ulrich Schnauss | Far Away Trains Passing By
  :: Light, full of treble, music for cloudgazing
  
• Laundry | Midwest Product | Idol Tryouts - Ghostly International, vol. 1
  :: Fat beats with lots of thin, dark, electronic texture; midnight in the city music
  
• A Genuine Display | Midwest Product | Idol Tryouts - Ghostly Internations, vol. 1
  :: An extremely well balanced trippy mix; close drums but far-off flutes and breath
  
• Clarity | Midwest Product | Specifics
  :: One of their most pop-centric tunes; a buildup worthy of cruising
  
• Still Love in the Midwest | Midwest Product | Specifics
  :: Lots of diversity in this track; very raw
  
• Retread Lightly | Moss | East Coast Chip Shop
  :: Extremely moody flute; think floating through a NYC Chinese restaurant in a dream sequence
  
• MP | The Album Leaf | One Day I'll Be On Time
  :: Very ambient, piano-driven, pop
  
• Walking Forward Looking Backward | Algorhythm | Wein, Weib und Gesang
  :: EXTREMELY ambient, mood track; good luck finding this one on iTunes
  
• Translucent | Andy Hunter | Go
  :: A little more down-to-earth, breathy vocals; a palette-cleanser
  
• Angelic | Andy Hunter | Go
  :: A light, driving techno-ish piece
  
• Cumulus | Imogen Heap | Cumulus - Single
  :: More orchestral than anything, but Imogen Heap has impeccable sound placement
  
• Grand Central | Edward Shearmur | K-PAX Soundtrack
  :: An absolute MUST LISTEN to; infinite replayability
  
• Taxi Ride | Edward Shearmur | K-PAX Soundtrack
  :: Ditto
  
• Weather Report | The American Analog Set | The Golden Band
  :: Not so much electronic as completely chilled pop
