2. www.sutemos.net (free)

Ooh yeah. Murcof is good. Also Telefon Tel Aviv

Your request also sorta sounds like how I describe my music, particularly my last album.

Check out the artists and labels in the tracklists for my downtempo mixes:

Just so I don't have to type them all out again, since this was just asked two days ago.

Not in the last year but check out Mandalay. A while back some assclown put one of their albums out on the net and changed the band name to Portishead and it spread like a virus as a new Portishead release. Their sound is close enough that you would actaully believe it..although their sound isn't as depressing.

The archaic horizon netlabel has some good albums for free.
Lots of really good mellow downtempo type stuff.
I especially like the Orange Crush, Trills, and Frequent C releases.

Also check out Bass Clef. One of my favorite mellower albums in recent memory.
