[Future Proof]

I discovered this artist via Ulrich Schnauss's Myspace page, and I've gotta say that I'm amazed at what this guy is doing. It's not original, he's doing the shoegaze/ambient/trip-hop thing that many other artists of late have been tapping into, but the beauty and transcendentalism of his melodies are completely unrivaled. He has absolutely the most beautiful guitar textures heard since Slowdive, and the electronic work is complex and crafty, with alot of nice little tricks in there to create soundscapes that warp and shimmer without end. I recommend checking out Miraparque and Blue Shibuya Dream from his Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/jonasmunk

If music was a map to a place on earth, I would sell everything I have to move to these places.
