Processed guitar and laptop glitch melt into luminous, almost pop-shaped melody on Endless Summer. Fennesz welds digital corruption to beauty, giving melodic glitch a reference point that still sounds more like a song world than a technical exercise. The title track is where the guitar surfaces most clearly through the processing, and 'Happy Audio' spends eleven minutes letting it dissolve again.

13 on The 10 Best Ambient Albums

A guitar through a laptop, finding sunlight where everyone else found noise. Belongs to this list and to IDM equally.
