Now open wide for some history. Take a deep breath. Breathe through your nose.
Ochre is part of a movement called "Intelligent Dance Music" or better known as IDM. Wikipedia defines this genre as such:
Intelligent dance music (commonly IDM or intelligent dance) is a term that describes an electronic music genre that emerged in the early 1990s. The genre is influenced by a wide range of musical styles particularly electronic dance music (EDM). [2]Stylistically, IDM tends to rely upon individualistic experimentation rather than on a particular set of musical characteristics.[3] The range of post-techno[4] styles to emerge in the early 1990s were described variously as art techno,[5] ambient techno, intelligent techno, and electronica.[6]
In short, there are few melody lines that stick around for long - and the age old tradition of having a chorus is right out. Voices are rare. Computers, on the other hand, dominate all.
As I understand it, and the best I can explain it, would be akin to a form of stream-of-consciousness writing. Whatever mood happens to strike you this very moment - that then becomes the art of the day.
But I ramble.
Take a gander for yourself.
This music makes me want to wear slim white clothing, and drink cocktails during a sunset.
Oh, and ride a lightcycle.
