Ghostly Recommendations:
First off, I've recently heard the Lusine and Aeroc (Geoff White) full
lengths on Ghostly, which should be dropping soon and I must they're both
truly ground-breakingly beautiful. Some of the most original electronic
music to come out of the U.S. ever (sounds extreme I know).
As for Ghostly/Spectral releases, here's a few recommendations:
-Various - "Idol Tryouts" (great comp featuring a wide variety of Ghostly
talent)
-Kill Memory Crash - "When Blood Turns Black (wicked industrial IDM)
-Twine - "S/T" (lush guitar based ambient, beautiful)
-Matthew Dear - "Leave Luck For Heaven" (pop-techno, funky as shit)
-Solvent - "Radio Ga Ga, Pts 1 & 2" (for those who indulge in Morr Music
type of electro pop)
-Dabrye - !!!EVERYTHING!!! (best instrumental hip hop on the planet...ask
Prefuse 73)
-Various - "SMM Vol. 1 (gorgeous EP from the mellow guitarbient side of
Ghostly)
-Midwest Product - "World Series of Love" (great rock/pop based electronica
with plenty of soul)
-Lusine - "Push EP" (Lusine doing tech house....sick!!!)
These should get you started. I can honestly say I've purchase everything
Ghostly/Spectral have put out and I am yet to be disappointed.
