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.
