Sam Gellaitry

a new dawn - 9.5/10
its daft punk. its daft punk they came back. except now they're just one guy and his name is sam gellaitry. everything on this song is just so amazing, the vocals, the synths, its just crazy. this gives me chills. the guitar is just perfection.

duo - 10/10
i gave this one a 10 last time so I'm not changing it.

games - 8.75/10
this one gives me viewfinder vol. 1 vibes (I wonder why!) but like, better. the drums and the bass are just insane on here. i love the use of ... read more

Sam Gellaitry

Duo

100

Second best song ever made (first is sinful)

Grouper

A I A : Alien Observer

Listening on vinyl, my scores might be skewed since I've listened to this album so many times.

1. Moon is Sharp - 8.7
this one has a very specific sound in it, it sounds kind of like a wolf howling, that makes me cry. its great but the lyrics are hard to understand. the ending where it cuts out is so good, I love that part.

2. Alien Observer - 8.3
this song is very mysterious. i feel like it's a very good introduction to grouper's music in general. its very trippy. her voice is so pretty in ... read more

MURTAGH

Rush / Leaving

1. rush - 69
like mat zo but more tame and more repetitive.

2. leaving - 100
the most beautiful ambient track produced by a human being, leaving takes you through a magical universe that welcomes anyone who looks for it. this universe breathes as one entity despite its many components. all of these components are in harmony and allow the listener to feel whatever feelings they want without judgement.

3. rush - club mix - NR

Celer

Xièxie

disclaimer: ive listened to many songs on this album too many times so that may affect the score.

1. 06.23.17 - NR
the random beeps of cars are jarring but the rest of the song is beautiful. I love the little blips towards the end.

2. rains lit by neon - 83
beautiful drone. feels like falling asleep in a speeding self-driving car. you can hear that it's exactly what it wants to be.

3. in the middle of the moving field - 90
listened to this for like 2 hours. the definition of great ambient ... read more

ａｉｒｉｓｅ

hard feelings

(i made this album so i'll be submitting a review but not a rating)

1. fall - 5/10
wow. a frequency shifter on the entire song. so original. drone is supposed to be calming, not hurting your ears. the ending is good, thats about it.

2. to help (ft oh) - 7.1/10
idk if oh meant to make the waveform a dick but thats still legendary as shit. the clicking is kinda jarring but other than
that this is actually a really good drone track. nether noises in the beginning are satisfying as fuck ... read more

Mat Zo

Illusion of Depth

first review haha
in media res - 8.5
i’m so excited there’s a new mat zo album. already a great intro with some great bass and a super weird lead. vocals are on point and remind me of the see it when i believe it album. the second half of this song is legendary. god dammit mat zo. this song should be in rocket league.

love songs - 7.3
i’ve listened to the 3 early songs many times so the score will be biased.
love the new intro.
guitar is so good and the vocals have some nice ... read more

Mat Zo

Self Assemble

order out of chaos - 7.8/10
not a song id just listen to just because but a super SUPER FUCKING GOOD INTRO.

the enemy - 7.85/10
love the guitar. vocals are decent. love the bass.

sinful - 10/10
love everything about this song. made me wish i got last.fm earlier so i could see how many times ive listened. since i got it i have 22 scrobbles. its just so good, vocals, guitar, mat zo's daft punk-like vocals, more guitar, its just... so good. i should be bored of this song from how many times ive ... read more

新しい日の誕生 [Birth of a New Day]

(just like with many albums, i am going to be biased because of how many times ive already listened.)

i like to think of this album as running away from home. the words in the beginning are someones brain telling them to run away, the music is the adventure, and the words at the end are a confrontation with themselves.

to me this album was an introduction to dreampunk and what it has to offer, and believe me, it left a good fucking impression. thanks Oh for telling me about this album.

Mat Zo

Tracing Steps

tracing steps - 6.9 (nice)
one of the first mat zo songs i ever heard (i think the first was vice vip?). very repetitive but the part in the middle makes it pretty worth it.

heat wave - 8.55
a bit too long, love the RRRR and the REEEEEE

lust - 8.7
idk why but this is so fuckin good. love the daft punk vocals

deep inside extended - 7.28
too long idk why it needed an extended version. overall decent idk why i used to not like this song lmao probably bc the vocals are weird imo

Hong Kong Express

ghost - 10/10
this is legitimately one of, if not THE best dreampunk songs that have been into my ears. its just beautiful and i love it. its everything i ever loved about non-ambient music, and everything i loved about ambient music, combined into one ambient track. its just crazy how good it is. the vocals, the bass, the RERErERERErErRERr (the best part imo) just make it so good. it really sounds like a ghost.

window - 6.3/10
its not Ghost but it certainly is a nice song. its boring but i ... read more
