Something I didn't know until today: Toots & the Maytals' 1968 song "Do the Reggay" is credited with coining the term 'reggae', from which the genre derives its name.
Been listening to Phonothek. Ambient instrumentals with a sci-fi theme. Few beats. Melodies hard to grasp, if there even are any. Some voices in the layers, but indistinct, used as instruments, with no discernible lyrics. Pure atmosphere. Dark, but I don't find it gloomy or morose. A soundtrack to a sci-fi movie that you've never seen. They throw in some jazz accents, which gives it kind of a 'future noir' feel, like the Blade Runner scores. I'd never heard of the label, Cryo Chamber, before the other day, but they have a ton of stuff on YouTube (they're on BandCamp too, if you use that). All fantasy, horror and sci-fi themed ambient. Some of it I'm finding very compelling.
