I checked it out. I'm not going to say I listened to the full hour, but I skipped around the whole thing for a few minutes to get a taste. That sounds good if I want background noise that I don't really want to focus on while working or something (hence the "ambient", I get it), but I prefer music that I'm actually going to pay attention to.

I suppose that's kind of the point to ambient music. It's great for poker, or for playing chess, for reading, or for a snooze. It's not great if you want to sing into the remote control, or dance like a twat, play air guitar, or listen to lyrics. Different music suits different moods.

I like guitar music too. My problem with guitar is overkill. It's by far the most overused instrument in popular music. I prefer brass to lead the melody, which is why I prefer to listen to stuff like ska and soul, rather than rock.

I quite like that Hanni El Khatib song you posted. Sounds kinda like White Stripes meets John Spencer Blues Explosion, both bands I like a lot. Have some John Spencer, dude is awesome and probably right up your street.
