Bit of a guess - Argon ?
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Dear oh dear how the CCC has deteriorated

And that would be right.

Inactive suggests something at rest, whereas argon is inert.

|
|
|
Inert gases are chemically inactive.

And "Argon" is from the Greek "ἀργόν": "inactive"
Ah, the benefits of a Classical English education ... I'll find an actual use for some of it one day ...

Excellent. Greek translations are very old school. Good for you.

Sadly my brain is far too slow to get from inactive to inert.

Shpongle - Dorset Perception[^]
This SOTW has been 15 years in the making.
I even shared it a couple of times before, but never as SOTW.
I've recently been playing lots of playlists, with lots of skipping tracks, but then I realized I'd never skipped this track because it's just so awesome.
"Shpongle is a psychedelic electronic music project from England that formed in 1996. The duo are considered to be one of the progenitors of the psybient genre - a genre combining world music with psychedelic trance and ambient."
In this track we hear traditional Spanish (or Portuguese?) guitar and Portuguese vocals with lots of trippy psychedelic trance, of course.
This is one of my most listened tracks ever and it got a bunch more listens this week

Thank You Surely You're Not Joking Mr. Feynman It got my thumb-a-tapin and my shoulders-a-swingin though the occasional odd vocalizations I could do without but I'm a born critic something a Perfessor in Kollege i.e. to wit 16'th Century English Literature a worthless course if ever there was one instructor confirmed by declaration to me in front of entire class - Best - Cheerios

I'm completely flabbergasted that you'd like this  
Kind of proud I found something you like though 
|

What's not to like. It's basically Spanish guitar more or less as best as I can figure. Who doesn't like Spanish guitar. Please don't demean yourself by being proud of anything to do w/ me.

With lots of electronics, which old people generally dislike
Glad you liked it though!
I think one of the best things about the SOTW is that I post lots of different music so most people here will find something they like eventually (although it may take some time)

Greetings Kind Regards As for electronics I purchased Tomita long ago but of course I was not an old people then. As for Tomita a little story. Back then whilst sitting around the company boardroom table/lunch table we ate together a small Electronics/Software company another engineer EE to be specific a trumpet player in fact was speaking of music and of a particular electronic composer who's name he could not recall he turned to me to inform him he confident I would know and I replied "Tomita" and he acknowledged "Yes" that was he. The gist of this story is I do not know how he knew I would know particularly as we had no conversation re/ same prior and in fact little conversation at all as we were not particularly social though he was a decent chap. I have another such similar story but perhaps for another occasion. As for recommending music I have been eager to recommend for some time a particular title I will not hold back now i.e. to wit to be specific in particular Kronos Quartet "Pieces of Africa" which I could not not play whilst driving and did so until the Toyota's tape player broke. - Best PS I play this week's SOTW daily now in fact several x's/day. My thumb is still a-tapin and I quite enjoy the angry guitar note part way through. Also I am quite impressed w/ the visuals i.e. to wit in particular to be specific I can not imagine how they are created as they are quite complex and varied.

That's pretty cool.

If you want to explore a little more...
No big spanish guitar in this cover but still a nice mix of flamenco with new styles. : Chambao - Ahi Estas Tu 2013 ft. Nneka - YouTube[^]
Just in case, the original version (with more guitar than the cover but still flamenco-chill): Chambao - Ahí Estás Tú (Video) - YouTube[^]
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not what I expected (I excepted less electronics), but good stuff
Reminded me a bit of Karsh Kale: Karsh Kale - Distance[^]
That song was a music sample that came with Windows Vista (and it was the only good thing to come with Windows Vista  ).
