Listening to a lot of Italian composer Bruno Nicolai's stuff lately.
I love the female vocals and how the instruments just create this sense of being on something (even when you're not - like me).
and this track from a favorite giallo

Some of the stuff you are listing to @mobilehaathi sounds fascinating - let me know which of those albums you like best.
For myself, something a little hypnotic yet edgy: The Last Of The Mochicans - The End Scene.

They are all great, although the first two have been particularly good.
I didn't know this before I bought them, but Africa Express is a venture by Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz that seeks to make collaborations between African and Western musicians. In C Mali is a great performance of Terry Riley's In C by Malian musicians (this is minimalist music), Maison des Jeunes comprises of a mixture of artists recoded at a youth club in west Africa, and the Syrian Orchestra album is, well, another collaboration between Syrian musicians and western ones.
In celebration of 100 days of posting a music video I was listening to, and posting the Boys. After seeing them introduce Yes at their Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame induction they were on my mind.
Me too. Must be the spring weather. Jeffrey Foucault, "4 & 20 Blues" from his album Stripping Cane.
I first discovered them on a complication called Morning Becomes Eclectic. They did a haunting live in-studio take on Que Sera Sera. The first image in my mind upon hearing it was a band in an auditorium where the whole audience was dancing lethargically with zombie-like motion.
While I don't like this performance as much, it's fairly representative, if less haunting:

I have most of Pink Martini's music, and have seen them perform live (accomplished, polished, urbane musicians) on a number of occasions.
Their first two albums (Sympathique - and I think Que Sera, Sera is on that album - and Hang On Little Tomato) are outstanding - albums that do not have a single poor track, to my mind.
Now, their subsequent albums are still excellent, or - at worst - extremely good - but don't quite reach the height of the first two superlative albums.
