I found recently the album Web Max from Web Web and Max Herre, it's a delightful spiritual jazz work, is soulful and sometimes intense, but good enough to work with it.

https://webweb.bandcamp.com/album/web-max

After finishing it, I wanted more, and went to the label, Compost Records, and been listening to several of the playlists they have: Compost Black Label, Future sounds of Jazz and, All New.

Some are more calm concentration music, others are more up-beat, but regardless of what, the selection is quite tasteful

I happened to be listening to their album "Twoism" and read this article about Colin Powel and his life experience of "two-ness". Syncronicity will not be ignored. Chaos reigns.

“One feels his two-ness – an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.”

Holger Czukay! Highly recommend a write-up on the kraut rock legend (maybe there's been one in the past?).

I've been listening to this nonstop since you posted it - what a stellar find, thank you for sharing! Especially loving the track joy, with headphones on the bounce is just absolute perfection.

Djivan Gasparyan "I Will Not Be Sad In This World": lovely duduk music, ethereal and ambient perfection. He just died last month, which caused me to go back to his work. Hadn't visited it in a while, but I think it's perfect for Flow State

I'm fairly certain I got this from you (maybe even really recently -- for this, thank you!!). I love piano more than anything. Stephan Moccio. Mostly quiet, slow, lots of space between the notes. I'm in love.

Tom Misch's quarantine sessions are pretty dope. https://open.spotify.com/album/0kx3vz4PkhozBIaWYmGQf8?si=dTQpMo1kT7qR6mdT9wq2Ow

If you also want something more upbeat, there's his Beat Tape 1, from 2014. Absolute belter. https://open.spotify.com/album/2FVfODkF1inBzSwB2plsYk?si=aNWWxcaFQTKy_pYDdwWq7A
