Andras - I know what you want

Turns into something that sounds a lot like Aquatic Ambience in the middle of the song.

i think "chris dave" from the new blake mills/pino palladino project might fit the bill

I have heard this music in multiple product commercials, this is less "songs that sound like" and more "songs that ripped off of"

27 years ago my parents gave me this game for christmas. I haven’t been as excited for a videogame - or a xmas gift tbh - as I was for this one.

Here’s a playlist, stole some suggestions from this thread:

Oh wow, same here. I was so excited to play it. Might have mentioned earlier but it came with a very good free CD that actually introduced me to a while bunch of bands, not least the Boo Radleys

Thanks for the playlist Moka. A few faves on there!

I love his Donkey Kong Decembers.

This is like the music that plays when you meet Santa Clause in heaven and he gives you a million dollars

xpost: balearic house (of which mark barrott - see prev post is exemplary) is a good start. Maybe try skimming through the label Permanent Vacation (eg John Talabot, and their label comps) and certain stuff by producers like axel boman

thank you!!
