Neon Golden

Almost every night my girlfriend and I fall asleep to the Notwist’s Neon Golden. Usually, we’re out cold after the first couple of tracks, although some nights we hear the whole thing, and, sometimes, if we wake up during the night, we listen to it again. That might not seem like much of a recommendation, even for weird German electronica (albeit with cellos, banjos, woodwinds, and who knows what else). But Neon Golden is a masterpiece, beautiful and complex. And so soothing.
