Posted today: Songs of many genres, including metal, rock, soft alternative/progressive.

First find of the day, a song by Josh Woodard:

Honcho Graham from Birmingham
I love the acoustic in this song, but I'm still on the fence regarding the vocals.. Seemed kinda emo to me, but I still liked it. I want some feedback for this song, so share your opinion via comments.

Posted today: Great techno/idm songs that will either hype you up or chill you out.

One of my favorites by Tiesto:

Adagio for Strings
Will seem a bit repetitive at first, but its just building up. The song becomes epic near the middle, then chills out and lets you go softly.

Dj Mangoo:

Eurodancer
Great rave song, strong beats.

Boards of Canada:

Skyliner; Left Side Drive
My absolute favorite IDM band. Both songs are mostly ambient/synth. Drums show up as well.

Posted today: Smooth analog rock/progressive/alternative songs with techno under/overTones

First up is a couple of songs by The Album Leaf:

Red Eye

Awesome song, sounds really good if you've got a decent sub and satellite speakers.

Micro Melodies
This song doesn't have the heady beats and "space station" sound of Red Eye, but its a must-hear for sure

Next is The Mars Volta:

Cicatriz esp

The songs a mixture of ups and downs, fast paced and slow ambience.

A really chill song by the Marconi Union:

Sleepless

Like I said, its a chill song. No vocals, just ambient/instrumental sounds that have a relaxing quality.

Great song I literally just found by a man named John Xela:

Quiet Night
You'll love the bass and acoustic

Might be the only song I like by The Notwist:

One With the Freaks:
This song features chill vocals which match the music itsself fairly well.
