More dirt-cheap used CDs...
Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump (2000)
Yep seems like my kind of thing. The first comparisons that come into my head are Mercury Rev at their mellowest and a bit of early Flaming Lips as well. This album has a nice sad and weary tone at times but can sometimes be uplifting. It sprung into life on first listen and my guess is it will sound even better with repeated listens.
Boards Of Canada - The Campfire Headphase (2005)
Yes it took me a long time to get around to this one, saw the CD and thought what the hell why not? This seems a little bit more ambient than Geogaddi and Music Has The Right To Children and doesn't seem to hold my attention as much as the other two. Hopefully I will grow to love it with a few more listens.
