School and stuff and excuses.
Gorille85: Boards of Canada- Everything You Do Is A Balloon
This really was the sort of thing I was seeking. The intro was super-calming and perhaps even beautiful. The majority was more tense, but rather hypnotic. Pretty amazing how it went so well with that creepy PSA.

LieLowTheWaitangerine: Tangerine Dream- Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares
Wow. That really took me somewhere else. Like, I've heard space-rock and stuff that's, like, supposed to sound like what space/non-Earth places are like, but this really does feel like some other, weird-ass world. Fantastic submission!

Ytse: Ozric Tentacles- Hidden Step
A lot of psycedelic rock I've heard kind of let me down, in the sense that it sometimes would feel too much like normal bluesy stuff to me. This did not let me down. It's like, rock, but not at all, if you understand what I'm saying. Great musicianship on these guys' part; they seem quite technically skilled, in addition to their creativity.

bonestar: Yes- Awaken
I love their first 7 albums, never heard anything else, including this tune. It pretty much embodies everything normal people love to complain about, regarding Yes. Naturally, I loved it.

kári: Sergej Bezrodny/Vladimir Spivakov- Spiegel Im Spiegel
You always seem to end up picking some of the most beautiful music, man. Listening to this piece just really made me feel happy and at ease. At peace. This song/piece/whatever's the best term really does embody peace, IMO.

obscure: Guilt Machine- Leland Street
Good, creepy prog-ish ballad. My favorite part was the section in the middle with the organs.

DTVT: Gazpacho- Missa Atropos
This is a cool, groovy jam. The overall sound is rich and sort of space-y, though I didn't necessarily find it meditative. I enjoyed it, nonetheless.

bingle.joy: Pink Floyd- A Great Day For Freedom
Definitely better than anything I've heard off of AMLOR. Balladry done their way and right.
8
noog: Berasin Quartett- Mehr Als Alles Andere
Solid, quirky electronic piece. Not ambient, but not super melodic and approachable. Mysterious and almost playful.

Round 9 is the last round, so send a song that's the last on its album/ep. Even better if it's the last song on the last album/ep of the artist.
