Birds of Paradise—Flight Patterns (2013)
These two guys manage to pull off something pretty difficult here: they make electronic music that involves a large percentage of 80s massage parlor new age synth sounds and it somehow turns out really, really good. The result sounds a bit like Jan Hammer's Miami Vice score reworked as IDM. All I can think of when I listen to it is some futuristic resort planet filled with gleaming white buildings, pastel colored hovercars and pristine beaches that go on forever.

Liking the sound of this.

I grabbed it and I'm quite enjoying it. It kind of reminds me of Shpongle in many ways.

I've always avoided Shpongle for some reason but this makes me want to check them out. Any particular album you'd recommend starting with?

I enjoyed Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost (2005) the most.

Honestly though I put their music on in the background as I do something else like browse the net, read, write, etc, but Tales of the Inexpressible is easily my second favourite.

Their name and cover art is enough reason for me.

Yeah, I think it was the cover art for me too.
