I'll have to speculate because I don't have much to go on here so far as clues...I think ambient music would put a lot of people to sleep.  There really is not a single ambient song played on RP.  It would be difficult to fit into the playlist I'd bet, and a lot of people would complain.  I think Music for Airports is one of the greatest works of art.

Sounds more like the "Postal Service" stuff, don't it?  (Which is a good thing).

...or have synaesthesia. I know what RadioDoc means, about this having a "musty" atmosphere. I'd probably apply that to most of DCFC's songs, most of which seem to be about death, dying or illness. For all their toe-tapping poppiness, they do make me think of places like Undercliffe Cemetery in Bradford, a strange and imposing necropolis with gothic tombs and baroque gravestones. I'd put DCFC into the same electro-Goth category as Depeche Mode. I like them both very much, btw.

I just start to dig these guys. They are not great inventers, but their music is "sooo good for the ears" (c)

Why don't we have anything from Eno's ambient days?  Once in a while is very soothing.

I agree

Damn, I like Ben's stuff. Not sure what it is. He has my attention, that's all. Melodic passages, seems every time.

You must have some pretty hi-tech equipment to be able to receive olfactory signals through an internet connection.

Pretty weak

You and me both.  Who can explain it?  It must be about yin and yang. 

Stay positive.  I give the song a "7"

I hear the rain outside my office window, and I hear the rain on the windshield of the song's car...

I like a lot of their music but I wish this band (and Vampire Weekend) would change their name!

Pretty much what we all are, passengers in this death cab called life on planet earth. 

Good morning from the west coast, I like this one, giving it a 7.

Would anybody get in the passenger seat of a death cab, cute or not?
Just wondering...  

I am getting a lot of static while this one plays.  Making an already marginal piece even worse.

Follow this up with Sniff 'N' the Tears, "Driver's Seat"?

We looked like giants is definitely a favourite. This whole album is much better together though than by tracks. Ben Gibbards voice resonates swimmingly with the music and lyrics, its almost chilling.

Yep, straight from Music For Airports.

One of the more delicious tracks from this, the more delectable pre-Plans, album.  Nothing beats "We Looked Like Giants" with the windows down, but this track is a close second in my book.

Moving; powerful imagery; better production.

I am by nature a very happy, upbeat person- but for some reason musical meloncholia always resonates deeply for me. I'll take a sad ditty over a breezy one any day   

Beautiful imagery. I could almost feel the cold air and smell the pine.
