"When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hangups...I want to speak to their souls."
43 years ago today, John Coltrane took his very last breath on a hospital bed and departed from our mortal plane following a long, arduous fight with liver cancer. No man truly dies until he is forgotten. One of the greatest saxophonists to have ever lived, his music lives among us, influenced and ... read more

You either get it or you don't. Lyrics are great. I like that line about the Moses. Vocals are really powerful and honest. Instrumentation is sometimes beautiful or hard-hitting. Line distribution is questionable. Personally, I would've preferred YG give Jisoo or Wing Wong more lines, but I digress. Definitely going into my Walmart shopping list. Blackpink is the Revolution. xoxo

"Sometimes I feel like I can't go on like this forever. Days pass and nothing happens, and I feel so alone. In my heart, I seem to be waiting for something."
808s, one of Kanye's finest achievements, fascinates me. It fascinates me, amazes me beyond belief how artists, pushed to or far beyond their breaking point, can turn a moment of pure anguish, despair and unbearable pain into something beautiful to share with the world. A masterpiece that may touch the hearts of millions and ... read more

The kind of album I'd personally only imagine turning on if I was some angsty preteen after slapping my mom, locking myself in the bathroom and draining her top-quality hair conditioning down the toilet, but otherwise, I'd rather take my chances with the 'nanny' music they play at my doctors' waiting room. On a very lucky day, they play some Otis Redding.

It's Andrei fucking Rublev and Andrey fucking Tarkovsky.
Of course it's this good.
Going to keep this relatively brief because reviewing anything Tarkovsky-related seems irrational. Film scores as standalone records are often tricky to get right. As a listener, the struggle arises in evaluating the music separate from its source material. When a film truly captures you in the way Andrei Rublev does, such a possibility is thrown straight out the window. Try to focus on the music, you'll ... read more

Soul Lady paints a beautiful scene. You're walking through the neon-lighted, bustling streets of 80s Tokyo on a dark, cold rainy night. Surrounded by people, a city shimmering with life, yet intimidating and you're left with a sense of loneliness/dejection. Then, your eyes are set on someone in the distance, they look back at you, a mystifying force slowly pulls you two together. The city fades to the background and falls quiet, the lights dim, your heart bursts. At that ... read more

I was expecting great things from that Nejiko Suwa compilation, but wow... Some of the most emotionally potent classical performances I've heard. At that age as well 🤯

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you so much for recommending me ‘World of Echo’, it’s truly amazing now that it’s finally clicked with me! Also congrats on 2k :)

Hey, can you like just start giving me random recommendations? It seems like everything you like, I like also. I was just listening to the album you just gave a perfect score (Dresdner Kammerchor), and I realized that maybe you could guide me? Also, if they’re harder to find, please send links. Thanks!

Congratulation on 2k followers btw. You really deserve it. <3
