For this New Sounds, there's ambient post-rock music from Jon Hopkins, a Scottish musician who writes and performs his own melody-led electronica. There's also music from the German pianist/composer Max Richter, along with something from Ludovico Einaudi's trio, Whitetree.  Plus, music by the instrument-driven Chicago post-rockers Tortoise, songs from drummer/composer Brian Blade, and more.
