Sounds like the soundtrack to an educational film you watched in 7th grade science class, except good. Alternately: Sounds like the soundtrack to a John Hughes film that was never released.

I love vocoders so much. Go stream “The Woods” on his myspace, the Blood Bank EP comes out in two weeks.
This is a very nice (and very limited, from what I understand) compilation from the label Claremont56, who specializes in nice mellow, new-agey disco, often referred to by DJs and nerds as Ballearic Disco. I wouldn’t necessarily call it dance music, but I would call it a great listen. Put this on your headphones while you commute to or from work, it’ll make you feel like you’re in a movie. The track I’ve linked below treated me quite well while I was on the way home from dinner tonight.
Man, I’m such a sucker for this indietronic stuff. Shoe-gazey pop at it’s finest.
