what genre is this?

IDM / Kinda 2-stepish / Ambient. It's hard to give stuff like this one specific genre though, so perhaps worth at looking into music from other genres that relate with this, to see what part of that song it is that's really capturing your imagination. Maybe it's all of what I will put below, in which case that's awesome!

If you want something perhaps more 2-stepish, look at some of Synkro's tracks, and also Burial.

But all the above is getting a bit too rhythmic... what about ambient / chillout:

Testing the water here, would be great to see what you think of everything here lol
I always love spreading the word about this sort of music.

Now getting deeper into the ambient section. Biosphere's Substrata album is a sure hit if you like this:

I'll link the live version of those, just to show the great mood it gives off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5VZKB1J2UM around 2:05 when the fantastic vocal recording is finished, and the song lifts up. It's breathtaking!

album version equally as absorbing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2KkaRLiyxg


Also darker ambiences (I really love dark ambience, but this might be going at a slight tangent to the original song you've lank)

Uruk-hai, their stuff is hard to get (and find) as its stuck inbetween LOTR stuff, but its definitely good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWQqnMdhkv4

To end, here is my Soundcloud with 3 of my dark ambient tracks in case you've got this far and are liking dark ambient: http://soundcloud.com/aleksandrs

Big thanks to Aleksandrs for pointing out Helios. Currently listening to their album Eingya and I think my blood pressure has dropped a little; words can't describe how magically beautiful the sound is. :)
